How do i save the climate control settings to my likes

[smi2710]

I have the Auto climate controls but what im getting at is

If i have the air turned on to 60 and then i turn it off while driving. so the system is not running. When i return to the car and start it up it goes back to being set at 60 why is this not just set at what it was when i turned the truck off?

I also hate to always have to lower my steering most everytime but sometimes it does do it but never all the way down

It remembers the last temperature, fan, and vent outlet settings. What it doesn't do is remember to be turned off. Essentially, that is because the vehicle is designed to have the AC on all the time. BMW designengineers wouldn't be able to understand why you would want it off. There isn't a separate vent system, so it works better being on. In summer it cools, in winter it drys out the air and reduces condensation. I do understand that some like the AC off, just like some like the windows down on the highway. In my case, I turn on the AC when I buy a new vehicle, and leave it on until I sell it. I use the temperature control settings, and if the system determines it doesn't need to run the compressor it doesn't do so.

my in laws mdx has the compressor on all the time doesn't matter if the temp is on 80 or 60 you have to manually turn the compressor off the same was for my audi if the ac light is on that means the compressor is off

Pressing the snowflake button to lock out the compressor is so 1970s. It used to be that there was a reason to do it for improved mileage. Not so much today. The only AC compressor I ever failed was 27 years ago, after 6 months of not using it (I lived in the far north at the time). It failed upon startup the next spring. After that, I left every AC system on all year, and never had an AC problem again.

Now, about that signature line....
