Air con Mode

[FON]

Hi all!

When starting Up the Z, it always puts the Ac On..

I think it's some sort of "cabrio mode"

Is there a way, by software, to inoperate this function?

i have the same problem whit mine.The last time i went to the dealer i ask to get rid of it after 30 minutes of trying they went back to me and told theres nothing they can do it looks like its a kind of default mode.Next summer i will try another dealer.

If the air con is off when you turn off the car, it should "remember" and not turn it on when you start up again.

The Ac stays OFF indeed i i turn it off, and stays that way when i start up.. it's the ventilation that always comes ON when i start up, no matter how many times i turn it off..

If i ride the car, turn it off and 5 minute safer turn it on, it doesn't turn on when i start up.. but for longer periods it does.. Always.. Maybe only for European specs?

there is a short term memory so that if you restart the car after 5 minutes or so, all the settings will be the same as they were before you turned it off. I don't believe you can have the ventilation not come on. Just press a button, it's not a big deal.

air con is programmed to turn on to the temp u set before, all newer BMW turn on the vent with memory setting every time u turn on the car

That's interesting, I am yet to see mine turn the temperature knob by itself

Your's doesn't? You should try it out with two different keys. Use one, change the temp setting, the the other one. If you look real close, you should see the knob slowly turning. If not, take it to the dealer.

THis is true, but if you turn off the Ac or the vent, the memory works the same way, and stays OFF when you start the car.

jparnes1, it's only a button indeed, it doesn't bother me much, nevertheless, in 5 years and 80000 to 100000 km after, after starting Up X times and turning off immediately the Vent, i don't know if that will somehow stress the Ac compressor.
