Hot Interior and seperate A/C question
Inside my car gets hot when driving, you can feel it radiating from the radio/center console.
Clogged cat? Normal?
Also, with the electronic climate control, is there any way to just do outside air wihout the compressor on? Its been cool here the last few nights, and its too cool with the windows down, but gets stuffy inside with them up. SO I'd like to just get outside air, and no compressor.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can get just "vent" outside air without the compressor running. Push the "vent" button on climate control.
Vent button is marked with the person with single arrow pointing at head. Button just to the right is for floor, and to the left is for dual (upper and lower).
but the vent is the only one where the compressor will not run.

Actually I found it when I took the seats and carpet out to put down a heat shield. There are two shifter boots. A heavy rubber one on the floor and a pretty one on the console. Between the heat shield and the boot my interior now stays cool, even in 100 degree weather.
