vxfan - I have the climate control on my VX, but I never use it - I always set it manually. I've tried it (and other auto climate controls), but I like to make my own decisions about blower speed and where the air is coming out. Seems those things always make it too hot, too cold, or just too damn anoying! So I wouldn't worry about whether it has the auto climate control - not a loss in my opinion.
