Default Cabin temp

Inside my car under the dash? Where your feet would lay. It gets really warm with any style of driving. Everyone like that or mine abnormal.

Setting: temp set to coldest. Fan speed off. Direction sent to windshield.

I have the same problem I think its because when you take off cats they have more insualtion for heat and test pipes dont have nothing and in Vegas it sucks.

It has nothing to do with test pipes because I have stock cats and it blows hot air through the floor vents. It has to do with where the cabin air intake is, and its right below your windshield wipers, and all that warm air gets sucked into the cabin air intake and it blows warm no matter what. I hate it because it makes the car hotter than it already is. I also haven't had a problem with any other car but this one. Just a bad design IMO.

May sound dumb and you may already be doing it, so I apologize if it is the obvious, but make sure your button on the right is on the recycle setting (arrows making a complete circle) If you have it on the other one it will continue to blow in a small amount of air from out of the cabin.
