Fan speed tied to wheel temp up/down

:violin:

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

Hopefully someone here has advice on how to make the modification you are looking for.

:focus:

 

I still say just sell the darn car.

 

Auto works fine for me!!!!!!

 

Well, auto works fine for me...

I'm a little confused about your request though, I suppose. If I want auto, I set auto, and I expect everything, including fan speed to be regulated by the auto system. If the temperature is really far from what I set it to, I expect the fan to run higher to change cabin temp quickly. If I want a certain fan speed, then I expect the fan to stay on that speed regardless of if it's getting colder or hotter than I want.

This seems like one of those "problems" that a paradigm shift can cause for some users. You and I were familiar with how it works on "dumb" cars: You control every aspect with physical knobs and dials; with the heat on, it just keeps getting hotter until you hit that dial again. When someone gave us a product that didn't behave how we expect, the first thing I said to myself was, "well why doesn't it work the way my old car works?" Then I tried it their way and got hooked. It's way easier to just use the wheel buttons!

Anyway, it might help you to rationalize it and learn to like it because I don't think you can make that mod just by splicing some wires. I think you'd have to reprogram some things too.

 

You CAN set the fan speed on the climate screen.

 

The next thing you know he'll want to control when the ICE starts and stops! :laser::flock:

 

That's what the OP said he was trying to avoid doing... I misread that the first time through as well, but his objection is having to hit "Climate" first and THEN adjust the fan speed.

And that's a slippery slope... after that he'll want control over when the CAR starts and stops moving.

 

This is why I miss the analog days of climate control. On hot days, you just jump in the car, flick a switch, and crank the dial to the spot with the big blue squares. Hell, I can't even "crank" the volume anymore; I get to rapidly push the 'up' button. To get the equivalent effect, these days, you can pull the temp all the way down to MAX COLD on AUTO A/C. The fan will blow at max speed. You'll find a threshold where adjusting the temperature will also adjust the fan speed, however, the fan speed will adjust as the cabin temperature meets up with the preset temperature.

 

In the winter it's the other way around. In six months you should be all set. Of course by then you will be used to it working the way it does in the summer.

That's ridiculous. I just get tired of hearing you bitch and moan about how horrible the car is. You're basically the only one here that perpetually takes that position. Saying that I make a habit out of posting negative is ridiculous. The great majority of my posts are spent helping people and asking questions. I really don't know why you have the car if you hate it so much. Look at your past posts. At least 50% of them are negative toward the car. I'll make a deal with you and disregard your posts from now on.

 

I was willing to make a simple joke and move on. I even expressed hope that someone who had more knowledge in this matter than me would be able to help you.

Then you go and make dumb accusations. While I have no interest in dragging your thread further off topic, you brought it up so here goes. . . .

Bah, this is ridiculous. I've got over 630 messages posted to PriusChat in the 15 months I've been here. Of those, maybe 10 are sarcastic and off topic responses to whining complainers or trolls. Even then I'm light-hearted and avoid malice. Feel free to check out my posting history. I'm generally inquisitive and helpful. Anyone who makes half an effort will find that your accusations are a bunch of male bovine feces.

 

OK, settle down please. Let's just let the thread die and go on with our lives.

Peace in. Peace out. whatever.

 

Good Lord ... get over yourself. I've never posted on your headlights, xm radio or inverter threads. On the seats thread I said that the airbag issue was an important one to consider and you freaked out. Whatever ...I've placed you on ignore so you can rant to your hearts content.

I can pass no judgement on the 1st 2 members; however, with a name like "Devil's Advocate" ....... really, what did you expect.

BTW, the auto setting works for me. (had to do it - sorry)
