Apparently the AC is computer controlled - it has a choice of manual operation or thermostat control. My associate suggested that I just needed to reboot to fix the issue. He was right. Got to the parking lot, turned the car off, turned it back on and got cold air.

I wonder how many other things we now use operate like a computer. My TV does. Obviously, most phones do. What else?

VW type 3's were using ROM computers in 1968.

We owned a baby blue VW Squareback 1971, had fuel injected engine!!!
Was a great vehicle except had no A/C which became a bummer in Florida.
