I have never had climate control. My Volvo had manual air con and it did everything I wanted it to do. From what I have read on ClubJazz, Honda's climate control never seems to to do exactly what the various owners wanted it to do. Now I have nothing, and I miss my air con, though, despite the summer we are experiencing, I am not missing it as much this years as last year. Perhaps I am just getting used to not having it. I also missed the remote locking/unlocking but now I never give it a second thought.
