I have the 2012 LFX with Scosche (and Alpine DVD/NAV unit). The issue is related to the Scosche kit (HVAC).

The problem started with outside temperature dropped below 47 deg F (or 7 deg C). The car will not blow out any air (cold or hot) at all. The buttons on the Scosche kit when pressed, show the indication on the LCD changing (i.e. adjusting the fan speed will show the graphics change on the LCD) but no air present or change in air. The touchscreen buttons are unresponsive during this period as well.

The problem seems to go away once the car is driven for about 30-40 minutes and the "inside cabin temperature" becomes some what decent. In other words, it appears the Scosche unit needs to be warmed up before it would actually work (?).

Now that the temperatures outdoors are well below freezing (and its only going to get worse for the next few months), I am really struggling with this thing. Today I came to work and the car was stone cold the entire way here.

Does someone have a solution for this or can help? Dismantling the entire unit is going to be a pain and sending the unit in and waiting for a replacement is not a good option as I am now moved to Canada.
