It's not refridgerated like the Passat.

Please explain. How is the Passat different? If you take air from the AC output and send it to the glovebox, it's "refridgerated". What is different in the GTI/Golf/Jetta?

On a recent trip to hershey, Pa I filled the glovebox with chocolate just to test this feature...it worked great. I even put one that was all warm and mushy in and it cooled it right off. The downside is that it works the same with the heat on, so be warned. I did find, however, that with the vent closed, it stops the air quite well. I would suggest any of you that wear lipstick (or lip balm if you rather) should refrain from putting in the glove box and arm rest, for if you forget it's in there you might have a mess. I say this because of a round of swearing my girlfriend uttered when she discovered she forgot a $22 lipstick in her glovebox......

air comes out of it all the time (according to the setting u have it on for example footwell, face etc)

Obviously having the A/c on will make it even more cooler. But air does come out of it evein if a/c is off.

is there a way to only route cold air into the glovebox and not have it blowing in the car as well, say if you wanted the windows down?
