All the time! My girlfriend is lizard and I'm made out of magma. So if it's just me the temperature is colder, if it's just her the temperature is warmer, and if it's both of us the temperature is somewhere in-between.

They have the perfect solution for you. When you get in, the car sets your temperature, when she gets in, hers. It can recognize you based on your keyfob or phone.

When you both are in, whoever is in the passamger seat adjusts their temperature on the screen (most cars nowadays have two or three zone climate control).

I don't want my car connecting to my phone, and I don't want my climate control system to be that complicated unless they're going to release the information to troubleshoot it. Which they won't.

I would rather just move knobs or levers because they're cheaper and easier to repair.

I have never once have had trouble with the climate system in a car (got my first one in 2004, a 98 VW Polo), so 20 years of ownership total. It's definitely not the criteria I would use to chose a vehicle, but you are of course free to use whatever criteria you want to select yours.

Using my phone as a key is gloriously convenient, one less thing to carry and care about.

And if knobs were cheaper, rest assured every manufacturer would use them.

Thanks for your answer, I see we value very different things in cars.

car manufacturers should never make anything that relies on a phone to work unless they make the source available so that it can be ported to future devices.

It uses bluetooth LE, it's pretty standard tech.
