If I'm not mistaken.....the big feature that always stuck out when I thought of Griffin 9000s, was the "REAR" button on the ACC unit. This spot is usually blanked out in 90-92 9000s (and totally rearranged in last general style 9000s). Somehow they managed to run extra refrigerant tubing and ventilation ducting to the rear seats - though I'm not sure if the temperature here can be controlled independently of the rest of the car. - T On Fri, 13 Jul 2001 19:34:44 GMT, "Scott Yeager" <scottnopsamerflying.com> wrote: >Having owned several 900's in my adult life, I finally came upon the 9000 CD >Griffin ('92) that I always wanted. > >Without clogging up the newsgroup - read: feel free to email me directly - >I'd like to get some feedback on the following questions.
