I have the same thing, you must have this blue dial on your center vents? Turning it off does nothing for me, stops the cold air but i don't get any hot air.

Tend to leave it alone and let the climate control figure out how hot it should be, eventually, after a few mins, it's warm but cold air always blows thru the center vents.

You won't get warm air out of the center vents, it keeps with the priciple of "warm body, cool mind". It keeps you awake and alert, instead of the opposite.
