Summary:A glove box assembly (10) for a vehicle is provided. The glove box assembly (10) includes a storage bin (40) and a dedicated climate controlled bin (50). The climate controlled bin (50) is arranged to receive cooled air from a vehicle heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit (60) for cooling the climate controlled bin (50) independent of the storage bin (40). The glove box assembly (10) further includes a cooled air inlet (80). The cooled air inlet (80) is arranged to draw cooled air from the HVAC unit (60) upstream of a blend door (110) when air conditioning is operating so as to provide cooled air to the climate controlled bin (50) independent of a vehicle cabin temperature setting.
