Default Heating the rear

Ok.. quick question... Is there a way to quickly heat the rear of our GX...(rear = ever seat behind front row).... I know we have rear AC... but not sure why no heat.

- Just wondering am I missing something... Especially when its freezing and you have passengers...

I have wondered the exact same thing. I guess they feel the rear vents are sufficient. I agree that you ought to be able to switch between the two.

Yeah. Agreed. I originally thought rear air meant rear HVAC but it really is just rear air. Which kind of stinks. I know that you can adjust the rear controls so that the rear is blowing a little warmer than the front but I don't know if this will compensate for the lack piping heat in the back.

Of course, I live in AZ, so it's not as much of an issue for me, but we do get some surprisingly cold days here.

On a recent ski trip, my back seat passenger indicated that she got warmer air when I switched away from "auto" on the dash, to having the front put the heat on the feat. This made it get to the back better (under the seats?)
