Slick - I too prefer the cooler air, but if the CEO is in the front passenger seat, and if you toggle the centre knob to blow cool air, doesn't she get it also? I thought that this knob set the air flow temp across the top of the dash for both sides of the car, and that you can only change the driver/passenger temps independently via the temp controls? Maybe I have misunderstood your point in your post (entirely possible!)?

Have the same issue for the back vents - a scrollable knob there controls temp of the only (visible) vents in the back. If it has been changed to blow the coldest air due to a hot day, and then I forget to change it next day when it is maybe a cool day, my poor bubba and/or dog in the back freeze their collective asses off whilst we in the front are comfortable (subject to my first post!). Maybe solution for back is set to neutral - neither hot nor cold, and let the climate control take care of temp? Wouldn't work for front as I want cold air on a hot day, hot air on a cold day...

Life is full of compromises and challenges isn't it!!

Anyway, be interested to see others opinions.
