2025 IM5 air vent parts: distinguish front hidden vents from rear vents

Separate front and rear Australian MY25 IM5 vents, trim damage and control concerns. “Independent” does not establish a separate rear air conditioning unit.

An air vent trim surface is damaged, but the enquiry includes only a close-up labelled “IM5 air conditioning vent”. The supplier still cannot tell whether it is at the front or rear. The Australian MY25 manufacturer lists distinct locations and function names; clarifying these makes the parts request more specific.

Different manufacturer descriptions for front and rear

All three trims list Front Intelligent Invisible Air Vents and Rear Independent Air Vents.[Manufacturer table][Q02]

Independent qualifies the vent name. It does not automatically establish a separate rear air conditioning assembly, evaporator or blower. The hidden-vent description likewise does not explain the drive arrangement. [To be verified]

Record trim, direction and airflow concerns separately

For surface damage, photograph the front/rear and left/right position and surrounding mounting area clearly. For operating feedback, separately record the operation performed, airflow location and repair inspection findings. A vent appearance concern should not become a duct or actuator replacement request by default.

These details help locate the issue; airflow sensation alone does not diagnose an internal motor failure.

Similar vents cannot supply the missing internal parts list

Manufacturer names help identify position and function, but do not establish how vanes, controls, ducts or drives are supplied. [To be verified] Procurement should follow the specific diagnosis and catalogue. Do not fill in this vehicle's motor count from another model's exploded diagram or infer interchangeability from similar-looking vents in different positions.

Scope and verification

This article covers only Australian MY25 MG IM5: Premium 75 RWD, Platinum 100 RWD and Performance 100 AWD. The cited feature and equipment information is not a fault or replacement criterion.[Scope reference][Q02]

No public data was available in the reviewed material for vent drives, vane/control/duct structure, the scope of rear independence or parts supply; repair parameters, fault criteria, OE numbers, separate parts availability or interchangeability. [To be verified] Check compatibility or interchangeability using the VIN and the local Australian manufacturer parts catalogue.
