Aspects of the present invention relate to a vehicle system for use in a vehicle (8). The vehicle system comprises: an airflow system configured to condition air in a cabin (10) of the vehicle (8), the airflow system comprising at least one air vent (24, 26) disposed in the cabin (10) and an airflow apparatus (34, 36) configured to direct an airflow through the at least one vent (24, 26); an interface arrangement comprising a first input module (28) and a second input module (28), the first and second input modules (28) each being configured to issue airflow demand signals in response to user input; and a control system (30) comprising one or more controllers (30).The control system (30) is configured to: receive an airflow demand signal issued by either of the first and second input modules (28); determine, in accordance with the received airflow demand signal, an airflow map (60) defining a function of an airflow parameter with respect to a cabin temperature and/or a cabin heating power demand; and operate the airflow system in accordance with the determined airflow map (60) to control the airflow through the at least one vent (24, 26).
