The AC light may be "on" but the compressor only operates when the sophisticated sensors and controls determine that temperature or humidity require its action. It's designed that way & trust me - it works!

Of course you could always (manually) press the AC button to turn it off while driving -- if you wish some level of manual control.

You know, it took a public bashing for me to learn how to talk to members here with respect. Maybe its your turn?


In regards to the OP post, I have the same problem with my car. AC just turns on when car starts. I've searched all options in iDrive and found nothing that disables this.

I think you're a little rash to people, no offense. I just think you could be a little more polite in how you come off in your text. Maybe its all just taken out of context?

True, it happened to me. Then again, I was just a straight-up asshole and didn't care.
