A/C Power + Cupholders (1 Viewer)

[clevelandgrace]

Two separate issues.
1. I don't find the A/C air to blow with much intensity even on the highest (7) setting. If I aim it to my face I cannot actually feel the air blowing. Is this common?
2. Still boggles my mind that water bottles (OWALA 24 oz) do not fit in the side door (too big) NOR in the 2nd row in between captain's chairs. Very frustruating. Trying to figure out a fix to contain regular size water bottles in the back seat.

Have you tried this in your GX? Just making sure it works before ordering. My wife always carries around these giant metal water bottles and they don't fit anywhere in the GX.

I use it in the rear seat.... it's good. Great, no...but it get's the job done. I just hate the look of this massive plastic thing sticking out.

Have you tried adjusting where the vents focus the AC? I felt the same way too until I focused the AC to face vents;

Crank the engine, start the A/C- ever how you do that. Touch "Climate" and open up the Option screen. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE! Look at the S-Flow toggle switch. Is it on, toggled to the right, OR Is it OFF, toggled to the left, like the other switches??? Toggle the switch to the left/OFF. you should notice right away the air flow pick up.
As long as you are driving the vehicle and the engine does NOT stay TURNED OFF for greater than 1 hour, the S-FLOW switch will stay off.
Once you turn off the engine FOR GREATER THAN 1 HOUR, the S-FLOW switch AUTOMATICALLY turns ON again.
This is a ritual that I have developed with the GX - I get in the car, I crank the engine, I open the CLIMATE panel and I CHECK THE S-FLOW switch. If it is ON, I toggle the switch to OFF. Every time I crank the engine.

My S flow used to turn itself back on constantly but 8k miles in and now it almost never turns back on and has stayed off for months at a time. Which is good news, because when it's on I agree it seems like the AC really sucks.
