I say this with no offense to you.

WHO CARES, the system does't work for poopie. At most it changes temps by a few degrees at most. It is one of the most useless features ever put in a car. I often ask myself if GM even tested the system before they put it in. Money not well spent by GM IMHO.

Just my .02

A comment that doesn't really answer your question. The above quote is I think referring to the dual zone capabilities of the system. My complaint is that this system doesn't seem to cool anywhere close to my 99 FRC which had the manual A/C. That baby would get cold fast! This system takes much longer to cool the car.

I hate the dual-zone in my 2003 and loved the basic AC in my 2000 FRC.

What I really hate is that in the auto mode, you can't make it blow air from the lower vents, just the "in your face" vents.
