Air condition issue
Anyone ever have there air condition turn on by itself when all you want is outside air? Mine randomly does this. Itll be just outside air for a few and then the air conditioner will kick on. Its not on auto mode either. Is there a setting for this? Aggravating when its a cool 68 degree morning and all you want is outside air through the vents but the air kicks on.

are you sure it's in full manual mode?
I only ask because I know these stupid units in cars nowadays almost have 3 modes, Auto, Half Auto and Manual.
I've found that when it's in Full Auto you have to select several things yourself to get it all the way in manual.
Like first turn Off the AC, but then also select a different air source or a different vent location.
Also be sure it's in SYNC and not dual climate bs

never figured mine out. Only does it like you said, when its cool out. On a very hot day if its set to LO its just the outside air. I just turn mine up to where it displays degrees instead of just LO. Then its only the outside air coming in.
