About to Pull the Trigger

[erick_c]

Been a lurker for a few weeks now and I'm about to pull the trigger on an US Spec X5 3.0si with the following options:

Monaco Blue with Gray Dakota & Bamboo
Or
AW w/ Black & Aluminum trim (4AD)
or
AW w/ Tobacco & Light Poplar

Options:
CWP
ZSP
RCP
Running Boards (I'm short, I need this so I can wash the roof :eek: )
Heated Rear
CA
PDC
6FL

I'm concerned about the Rear Climate Package. Basically, I'm worried that everytime I turn on the car, the RCP will turn on and I have to go back there (or reach back there) to turn it off. I know you can turn off the rear climate controls through iDrive. I guess my question is, if you turn it off (i.e. "press the little fan until it's off), does it stay off? Or do I just have to live with the fact that I need to turn it off in iDrive when I have no passengers and turn it on when I do.
