A/C always on?

[sgt3966]

Forgive my newbie questions. Just picked up the car Saturday. 2015 35l. Every time I start the car, the A/C is on. Is there a way to not have it come on?

The Carly app works wonders to play with the settings to turn it off, etc

[sgt3966]

Carly app?

It's a Bluetooth adapter that you put in your of port, and it's an app on your phone. You can code stuff like the auto ac always being on, etc. You can also code a ton of other awesome stuff, plus diagnostics of the car. Well worth the investment.

What's the one thing I can do that'll make me think, "OOOhh yeah! This is definitely worth $80 alone!"

Turn off the seat belt bong, display digital speedo. I just listed 2 for you

Thanks for backing me up distinct. If you can afford a bmw I'm sure $80 is nothing :/

Your A/C doesn't have a switch on the right hand climate control knob?

I haven't used icarly, but if your coding I'd recommend doing the mirrors fold when locking, remove idrive warning prompt, euro hazards, in motion video, usb video.

can icarly do fold mirrors on lock and unfold on unlock? i may buy it just for that

[cocoZ4]

Yes, it amazing. You can also put your top down with the fob, but I think you can do that without carly. I've changed my blinkers to do 5 blinks instead of 3, and some other cool stuff

If you'd like to save some $$, you can drive up to SF (assuming you live in S. Bay or Peninsula) and flash everything you need with my iCarly app and save $50 lol

Air-Con - Press the centre of the right-hand temperature control knob. It's a green LED above either A/C or a snowflake (dependent on year).
Next time you start up (with the same key, as it's key dependent) it won't be on. Simple.

Coding of mirror folding - This is only possible if the correct module is already fitted (normally associated with heated mirrors), if it's not there then you can't electrically fold them. Of course if you have a button on the drivers switch pack for folding mirrors then this is a HUGE give-away that you can do this!!

Yeah, that'll work. Just text me, and I'll make myself available.

Can you use icarly to make the DVD player work while moving ("in motion video")?

[cocoZ4]

Yes it's costs 15 euros to do

It does have a switch but I have to turn it off every time I start the car.

Thanks. I'll give the "Air-Con" trick a try.

Did you ever figure it out Sgt?

[sgt3966]

No. I still haven't figured it out but I did realize that I believe I worded this thread wrong. Its really not the A/C that comes on automatically ( I thought that is what it was but its only because the temperature setting was all the way down so the A/C would come on. in actuality, I believe its the "Automatic Temperature Control " that turns on every time I start the car. So is that normal? Should it be turning on every time I start the car?
