Synchronising AC zones

Hi all, does anyone know how to synchronise the temperatures for the two AC zones on the standard climate system?

I like to keep both zones the same when it's just me in the car, its just one of my things.....

Read the manual, tried holding various buttons down, must be a way!

Thanks

With option 534, "climate extended features" you get an "all" button.

You and me both brother. My wife loves screwing with my head by jacking with the climate controls.

Got my F10 a few weeks back and have been searching for a way to do this. I have come to the conclusion that it is not possible with the standard A/C and requires the 'Extended A/C'. If you find a way - please let me know!

Yes you need to option extended aircon to be able to sync....checked this out with dealer etc and added this to my order for my F11. But rubbish it is not standard....on my Audi you just hold in the temp dial and it syncs. Glad I checked it out though as do like to be able to sync temp all round

On the M3 you just hold the button in for a few seconds on the drivers side AC.
This should work on the 550i M sport I have ordered as well.

Yea, that's a bit off! Could even do it on the poverty spec 318i loaner I had before... Ah well...

I have a button closer to driver's side that says ALL. Once this is lit green and function is selected, you should be able to control both sides at same time.

Problem I am having is that I am not able to control just the passenger side. For example, I can turn passenger side off and still have drivers on but not vice versa. Does anyone know how to control just passenger side on?
