air con just blows cool air out. climate control maintains whatever temperature you set it too.

you can also get dual zone climate control, tri-zone etc.

I dont get this dual zone. The air will mix in the cabin anyway and then end up at a different temp.

Its fairly limited. Not recommended to have differing temps of more than 2 degrees I think. Works well for me as I usually have it a degree or 2 more than my girlfriend so we are both happy

Plus it makes you look rich if someone steps into your car and the cabin is being maintained at a constant 18 degrees with the air con compressor on. Red backlighting FTW

16? Mines only 18!

Even if you keep it on low (18 degs or summet) in auto mode, with the air compressor off its good.
