    Controlling dual zone with only one button.

    Hi all


    As per the topic is there anyway that both zones can be controlled by only changing the temperature on drivers side. It's a bit of a pain having to change it on both knobs especially as its winter

    Cheers Jonny

    I believe holding the auto button for a couple of seconds sets the passenger side to the same as the drivers side (until the passenger side dial is adjusted, when they go independent again)

    Will try this when I get my car back. It's annoying having to adjust both individually, especially if your like me where both have to be on the same temp!

    If women can multi-task why can't they approach a roundabout and look right at the same time?

    lol i've banned my wife from touching hers as im quite OCD about mine too. i tell her she can adjust them both by using my dial only. and it cant be on a .5 either. then when she isn't looking i'll move it down to an even number - 20.0 from 21.0

    But why even have the 0.5 step in temperature control anyway?!?!? Maybe itz zee germans and their OCD of precise accuracy? But hey i'm driving one of their cars so I can't be too far behind with my OCD
    Personally I feel it just takes twice as long to get to the desired temp

    my number plate ends ODC. which is annoying as the letters should be the other way round to spell OCD...

    maybe i could get a personal plate form the DVLA whch is exactly the same as my current plate but the C and D the correct way round...
