Eggman - After reading your post above, I didn't know that the A/C operation in AUTO mode could be personalized. So I went back in to the manual and read that in the manual. But I also found that the "air control" (meaning FRESH or RECIRC) can be personalized in the same way. I didn't know either of those "peronalizations." My fault for not reading the manual more thoroughly.
It seems that if I hold the A/C button, and make it beep 3 times ... and hold the RECIRC button and make it beep 3 times, then my grievance with the sumbich switching to A/C and RECIRC when I go to the 61° setting would be removed. That is my biggest complaint about the controls.
That would be a HUGE improvement ... for me. Gonna go out to the car in a while and make those buttons beep 3 times. If that stops the system from switching to A/C and changing to RECIRC when I bump it down to 61° setting (like the manual implies that's what 3 beeping those buttons do), I have a feeling I'll be exploring the AUTO button more. If I can just set it at say the 70° AUTO setting, and it NOT turn on the A/C (in AUTO mode), I'll be MUCH HAPPIER with the automagic HVAC CONTROLS. Yahooooo!
Thanks for sharing that post & link!
