I can't believe this **** wasn't shown to me during delivery... Just kidding but still I find it interesting, now what can I keep cool?

Beer!

It would need to be a tiny beer, however I like your thinking

I assume you had the car running and the a/c on when you tried this? It looks like it is really just a small vent in the glove box that directs a little cold air into the glove box when the a/c is running through the dash vents.

Ok that make sense.

So to make it "refrigerate" the glove box I'd need to set the a/c on the passenger side to low? I will try it, but I'll probably never set the a/c to low... so the glove box won't be of much use...

I found it a few days ago and tested it at auto mode. it works fine. what I don't know is how does it react when heating. I think its time a glance through the manual

No, has nothing to do with temp setting on pass side. The glove box air comes directly from the AC evaporator, prior to any air mixing needed to achieve your selected temp settings. It won't get ice cold, but will keep a bottle of water(or beer) at a pretty cool temp.

That's what she said...

Sorry, had to be done.

Ok. So it does'nt work because the glove box compartment is always warmer than the inside of the car. I most be doing something wrong or this gadget was'nt properly installed in the plant

after further analysis, I noticed the the media (DVD and SD card reader/player) becomes fairly hot although no media is inserted. this is probably why the engineers figured they had to compensate with some additional air. I don't think they were planing to cool water bottles. I didn't see a temp sensor in the glovebox.

This is my 2nd S5 cab and I am still waiting for cooled sport seats on an S5 and built in cooler. for Canada. After all, it's a Cab. Take the best of Europe, USA and Canada versions and you have the making of a SPECIAL "WORLD-CLASS" EDITION.
