Cool glove box

Bigian · 7th August 2006, 19:47

on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being very good. How cold does the "coller" glove box keep your drinks cold?? I was hoping for at least a score of 5 to keep me maggots calm.

It's difficult. It all depends on your climate control settings. The cooler the air running through your glove box, and the higher fan speed, the better. In cool weather, if your AC is barely or not being used, the glove box will be no good for cooling.

In cold weather your glovebox 'cooler' will be a heater!

If you want a strong cooling effect, set your temp and fan speed manually for really cold air.

Thanks for the advice.

That's interesting - I never thought of it like that.......maybe Honda could promote the fact that during the winter months, the glovebox doubles as a toastie machine!!!!!!

With the amount of crap in mine, it would make great paninis

You can close-off the vent in the winter if you don't want to melt any choccy bars.

in winter time you can serve warm chicken soup right from the glovebox

or at least keep your takeaway warm (no other car I've seen has a glovebox big enough for a takeaway like the Civic has!).

Skaven252 · 8th August 2006, 11:02

Since there's a separate climate control for both the driver and the passenger, why not have a separate setting for the glove box as well? (Sorry for the obvious, dumb question that warrants a simple explanation)

Big-Chris · 8th August 2006, 11:21

further to skaven's question - with dual zone, whose settings control the temperature in the coolbox?

richierich · 8th August 2006, 12:54

Its the passengers control, just tried it, it also gets bloody warm when on hi.

In other words, drive sensibly when the wife is in the car or she may decide to give you a warm beer at your next stop!

Or turn off the Dual control and drive like a maniac

richierich · 8th August 2006, 17:14

Problem is Steve, as I found out whilst attempting to freeze the missus, as soon as the passenger touches the temp control it switches back to dual mode.

The ladybird is no more.

richierich · 10th August 2006, 08:21

I guess you have had it removed, did they offer to let you keep it?

elfa7 · 10th August 2006, 08:33

As a sign of respect, should our ladybird be NIGHT HAWK BLACK ??

He got removed with an airline. I suspect he's still around in there, but just not on display
