Sitting in traffic and then parking the car makes the interior get super hot and the heat is definitely coming from the trans tunnel under the dash. While on the road, it never bothers me and I try to use my air/heat as little as possible

have you guys tried lowering the temp to the lowest setting and/or putting the car to cycle air from in the cabin only? Personal experience has shown that the vents are never truly closed even if the fan setting is set to off so i would always put the temp on 60 degrees or blue, whichever you got.

Most of the times my ac/heat is in the off position, that's where I can actually feel most of the heat by my legs, but its only after 30min+ of driving, personally I don't mind it because it actually heats up the cabin well enough for me to drive without the heat.
