ac default?
 

why does the ac come on everytime we start the car even if we turned it off previously. you think that the car could remmber the last position of the ac like ti does the rest of the settings in the car, wouldnt you??
damn agrivating

Mine stays in the last position it was in before switching off when it's switched back on. Do you use the "Auto" feature? I do.

what auto feature? you mean auto temp?

yeah, auto fan, airflow etc.

Mine stays off if it was off when I stop the engine, even if AUTO is on.

Isn't this tied to the key that is used? Is it possible that the key being used isn't "memorized," and therefore, the vehicle isn't retaining the settings?

That's what i was meaning. But if I switch auto off and then back on again, the AC comes on.

as the manual states... when you 'push' auto... it will turn the ac on to control humidity....

I have a same problem here. Anyone knows how keep AC off???

Mine remmbers the last postion and goes back to it, UNLESS I turn it off. If I turn it off(the AC and FAN) when I start the car again the fan and or ac comes back on.

Switch "Auto" on so that it's controlling fan speed and AC should be on. Then press the snowflake to put the AC off. If you switch off the car then switch it back on, then the AC should be off.

That works but What I was initially refering to was the AC and the fan. The entier unit off, not just the compressor.

so if you press the low speed button all the way till the entire unit goes off, It will come back on again when you restart. That is what I dont like.

I'm with you on this one buschy, and I understand what everyone else is saying.

But someone made a post saying that if they have it off when they turn off the car, it's also off when they turn it back on. I wonder if they're referring to just the ac being off, or everything being off. If the latter is the case, that's what we're looking to accomplish.

gmoney , they are talking about the AC compressor.
I am talking about the eniter HVAC unit being off. I see no fix ? that sucks its a very stupid thing to happen. 75k/$ and the car cant remmer that I dont want the AC, fan on , jeez

All of my previous BMW's have done this,

a bit annoying I know. But my a/c is really never off anyway.

my 335i did not do this, my others did.
