I have a question. If I have MASK, not CCC, what unit should I recode in spite of CCAPL?

now the weather is getting colder here in the uk ,i just found a problem (i think) with the heater setting after the retrofit .
found out that the centre vents dont blow out hot air only cold ,this also effects the rear vents that run through the centre console they only blow cold air as well .
no idea if this can be altered in the ihka coding or not, or wether its to do with how the panel is wired and cannot control the flow of water through the valve ,but as i dont understand german and online translators are poor i cant sort the problem.

Go into the climate menu and change the setting for the centre vent from cold to hot then turn the temp up. The rear vent will only blow cold unless you change it for the one with a temp control on it, i thought about doing this but I dont have rear passengers very often so there's no point.

In my car everything is ok after this retrofit. Both vents blow hot or cold while regulating the airflow temp from the i-drive, checked it today.

bit of a late reply been quite busy , the temp for the centre vents in the idrive is set fully to warm , but heaters blow cold still from front centre vents and rear vents ,wouldnt mind so much except my year old daughter is normally in the back . also i believe that if its fitted then it should work correctly .

Sigh!!! you will not get any heat from the rear vent, on the high heater matrix there is a separate vent motor and a different rear centre console panel.
