Do you mean the non-A/C control - ie. the heater controller?

Re: old air vs vintage using factory non ac control

I've heard it sucks. You have no adjustment with the heat or A/C. It's either all the way on, or off. You can adjust the fan speed.

I am on the fence as to what to add factory air or aftermarket kit. Thanks

Blend feature works fine with heat, unless your heater control valve is stuck. Mine was stuck a while back, and I only had hot air unless I switched on the A/C.

Re: old air vs vintage using factory non ac control

I have a vintage kit that uses factory air controls. Best of both worlds. Love it.

Re: old air vs vintage using factory non ac control

The A/C switch kicks in when you move the temp control all the way to the left (cold), so you can't blend A/C air (i.e. can't have warm de-humidified air). But when I asked them if I could replace my heater control with an A/C control unit, they gave me a part number for it and for the cable control kit that goes with it. Give them a call or email, they're pretty responsive. BTW, it works great - I have a burb which is harder to cool and even on hot, muggy days it's comfortable in the front seat. Don't have middle or rear seats installed, so I don't know what it feels like back there.
