[Electronics/Car Audio] Radio and AC
I don't know.... I've been in some late model cars that will blow nice and ice cold in the middle of 90 degree rush hour.
You're certainly not going to get anything other than R134a, at least for the time being. Certain home and business central air systems use another kind of refridgerant/lubricant called R-410A which is Puron, not freon. Right now only Carrier systems have it. It is more efficient, lower pressure, and cools better than 134, but it's still too expensive to use for cars and Carrier doesn't make A/C systems for cars anyway.

personally, I like the radio's in the new Audi's...there's a memory card slot for a compact flash card for music. I like that better than using an ipod in the car. If it came with that and sounded decent, I wouldn't change to an aftermarket deck (might add a sub or swap speakers though).
As far as the radio, the GTO ripoff wouldn't bee too bad. I kinda like that one.. Something w/ an optional iPod hook up too.
All GM cars have this standard or available now , and all have Ipod jacks in 08 . Its probably pretty safe to assume , the camaro will the latest in audio trends . As far as AC controls , I assume thats what u were refering too ....peak around GM and Holden . Its a safe bet both the radio and Hvac controls already exist .

Why the heck would you want a ipod dock? My ipod doc is a simple line through cable that goes from my ipod to the audio-in jack in my radio and home theater system.. well worth the 5$ and I didnt have to spend 100$ on another gizmo that will be usless the moment my ipod dies.. and I can use the cable with any other audio player. As long as there is a audio-in jack then I will be happy. Maybe even a flip down cover that reveals memory card and usb slots would be very handy too. If there is a stupid, girly, faggy apple logo on my brand new mean camaro- i'd be pissed. In fact I wouldnt get the car becuase I dont like what Steve Jobs represents. But then of course, my wife would end up buying the car instead.

While I'm no fan of Apple's products, I don't quite get the 'I don't like what Steve Jobs represents' comment.
I don't necessarily consider the Apple logo to be 'stupid, girly' or 'faggy' either. I don't want it on my car, but don't see anything wrong with it. A friend of my has a small white Apple logo on the back window of his Regal just because he has an iPhone. What's so wrong with that?
Well, in fact there isnt anything terribly wrong with it. But I dont want a apple branded radio in my car.. My wife has the sticker outside her car too.... but she doesnt drive a mean and sexy sports car.
Jobs is a jerk.. that is why I dont like him much.. the poducts arent too bad though ^_^
Anyway, my vote is still for the standard audio in
ooohh.. I also dont like when dealerships put their badges on the car I am buying.. if they do that I go somewhere else..

I just remove the dealers sticker from the car. Or, since I'm hoping to order my Camaro, I'll leave explicit instructions that I don't want it attached.
