Heat at Rear Vent

I am not able to search for this as I keep getting a message that it isn't working. My problem is that I get noting but heat to the rear vent (the one at the rear of the center console), even when I'm running the AC. I also continue to get some air flow (hot) even when I turn the fan control to the lowest setting. Anyone have experience with this or ideas on what's broken?

Is this equipped with or without rear rear compartment ventilation (additional equipment)?

The search issue is easy. Don't use the Xoutpost search - it's not great. Use Google with the "site:" command. Enter a search term like this: -

site:xoutpost.com e53 rear seat vent always hot

While this search is bound to be better than anything Xoutpost turns up, in this case there's still not a lot of useful results!

If the rear air stratification control is set to cool (blue dot) and you are still getting hot air from the rear vent, you might want to check the flap control in the vent housing is working.

I'm not sure it's additional. It is the vents at the back of the center console that face the rear seats.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try searching that way.

The only difference on separate rear compartment ventilation is that there is a separate blower motor inside the center console which is controlled with the left wheel on rear console (marked 0 - fan picture vs. 0 - I). On a basic passive version the right wheel only works as a flap control directing or preventing direct flow from main AC housing. On both versions the rear console heat setting wheel works like the stratification flap control on the center face fascia for face vents. When setting is on max red the vents get the same temp like the other vents. When the settings goes towards blue part of the air bypasses heater core so the air is colder than on other vents. That rear console heat setting on the right should guide the rear stratification flap on the main AC unit housing.
