Use your wife's key upon the ignition and check the climate control settings in our I Drive. Make sure all of the bars in the manual settings are not red.

Each key stores its own personality settings. So you must use your wife's key and change the settings the way you want them. Then they will be saved on her key and yours.

Thank you very much! That was the problem. Now i understand how this climate control works! I have not realized that we can adjust the level of "cold". It is about time, after 2 years. Thanks again!

my key will 'remember' a LOT of things. It will remember my CC settings, seat settings, it'll even remember what CD i was listening to and load it up, even if the wife was listening to something different in the car. pretty neat feature.
