    Anyone else have a hard time seeing the knob indicator during the day?? Obviously at night it is fine because it lights up, but during the day it’s tough

    Same. I was actually thinking about cutting out some illumination tape (glows green but does so off of absorbing light) at least see where that takes me

    I have the Automatic Climate Controls in my truck and it's pretty easy to see.

    The controls on the 18's suck. Age has nothing to do with it. I have great vision but still have trouble with the controls.

    Shit I can change my fan speed, temp and vent setting without looking. They all have positive stops at each end, just find what you want by feel.

    I have never had difficulty reading or telling. I also have the “auto” climate feature. Works amazing

    In canada, seemed like the only way to get the moonroof was the upgraded package but not sure if the climate controls part of it
