A/C controls ROCK! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

LDGn63 · 05-13-2009, 09:24 AM

Looking at pictures doesn’t always do justice so I thought I would jot down my thoughts on the Camaro A/C controls to give you folks some more candy to chew on.
(my feeble attempt to help pass the time until you get YOURS.)

I know some folks don’t care for the looks of the A/C controls but I really like the looks and I LOVE the functionality and placement.
Both fan speed and temp are nearly infinitely adjustable. I was afraid from the pictures that they wouldn’t be.
You can easily adjust both to your needs without even looking at the dials. SWEET.
You will no doubt memorize the buttons in the centers of the dials but until you do they are easily readable.
Air circulation is great even the back seat. Passengers get cold quick. (even in TX)
Controls are right at your fingertips… ( I drive with one hand on the shifter mostly )

Yeah what looks like maybe 4 postions on the nobs are like 8. Lots of smaller steps in there.

When I was in the dealer demo car the other day we had the air on and within MINUTES I was freezing my butt off, and I NEVER get cold. The HVAC system is pretty awesome IMO.

It will be nice to try out the A/C controls if we ever get our cars. Hope you are enjoying your car!

is the aircon loud when the fans on high? some cars sound like they harness small tornadoes under the dash. not a problem really, just wondering

Good to hear with summer coming on fast!

I hadn't thought about A/C. I've been driving auto climate control cars since '95 and have stopped thinking about it.

bluch · 05-13-2009, 04:42 PM

Yeah that is one dissapointing thing is no Climate control. I like the set the car at a temperature and let IT figure out how to get it there. Vs turning on the heat, ohh its too high, turn in down, or now its too cold jacking around..
