Mazda5 Heating / Cooling Problems
We have a 2009 Mazda5 that we totally love. Handles like a car but fits everyone nicely. But...
The rear vent only blows cool or a/c'ed air and not warm air. It's cold up here in Canada and the kids (well, one of them) is complaining about there being only cool air from the vent.
Has anyone had some sort of retrofit done in order to get warm air to come out of the 2nd row cold air blower?

I've yet to be in a minivan that didn't have heat in the back and am none too happy about the explanation given by the service department earlier today or the disconnect between service and sales (service- "duh, there's no coolant hoses going back there for a heater so of course there's no heat", sales- "whaddaya mean it blows cold air?").
Something tells me our salesman is going to field a particularly unhappy call tomorrow.....
Have to say, not so thrilled with our first Mazda experience so far.
Does it actually provide much heat to the second row? I don't know. The kids have yet to complain. Of course, they can't yet talk.
So as an experiment, set the front to vents only, turn the fan to high and full heat, then see what comes out of the rear vents.
Although it is not very visible at first glance, if you look carefully, on top of the buttons it says "COOL AIR"
Not too much info, but I guess that helps Mazda wash its hands of any dealer miscommunication :confuse:
