A method for operating an air inlet in a vehicle includes setting, via a touch-sensitive operator control unit in an air stream of the air inlet, a temperature and/or a volume flow of air flowing into an interior of the vehicle through the air inlet. The method also includes controlling a color of one or more luminous elements of the operator control unit depending on the setting of the temperature and/or of the volume flow. An apparatus for an inflow of air includes an air inlet, the air inlet configured to provide an inflow of an air stream into a vehicle interior, and a touch-sensitive operator control unit positioned in front of the air inlet such that the touch-sensitive control unit is disposed in the air stream, the touch-sensitive control unit being configured to set first and second operating parameters of the air inlet.
