I went to the MINI dealership today to look at the minis while my father was picking up his car from the bmw dealership next door, and I opened the glove compartment and there was this funky looking switch that did absolutely nothin. What is it for?
Oh, and I also saw the BMW F 650 CS Scarver motorcycle, wow If people would drive better in this city I would be all over that thing....
Yes that is what it is. If it is open cold air is pumped into the glovebox no matter what the temp setting for the rest of the car.

No way...you're telling me that tomorrow morning when my heat is blasting in my MCS that inlet will breathe out COLD air? Nahhhh. I'm betting it'll warm up the glovebox.

It doesn't. It insulates. There's no such thing as hot or cold, just less heat or more heat. A thermos prevents heat transfer (aka insulates). A cold item warms because the heat in the outside air moves to the cold item to remove the temperature differential. A hot item cools because the heat it contains moves to the outside air to again remove the differential.
A Thermos is made of a material (materials actually) which prevent the conduction of heat. (because its airtight is also prevents convection or the travel of heat through air) Because of this, the temperature differential is maintained, so hot things stay hot, cold cold. Interesting related point, if you don't 'heat' or 'cool' a thermos by pouring water or something else into it before your food/drink the conduction of heat to the (usually) glass interior will alter the temp of your food/drink but once the lining is the same temperature the conduction will stop and all will stay happily insulated.
/End of thermodynamics lesson for today.
