Q: How to fix Hot air from the vents (heating blocked) in BMW 320d Coupe (E92 2009)?

First of all, diagnostics of fuse F11 (7.5A) and heater valves. If it is functional, replace the panel with a used or new one (choosing part numbers carefully based on additional equipment, such as seat cooling/heating) and programming/coding it for the car. Installing another (used) IHKA unit is mechanically very simple, but it absolutely requires synchronizing and 'coding' it using the OBD connector.
