Every time I start my 2004 545i, the Air Conditioner (Climate Control) comes on automatically.
I always have to press the OFF button to stop it. Sometimes it comes back on about 2 seconds after turning it OFF.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this normal or can I set it to stay off after starting the engine until I manually turn it on?

On my car:
I turn the manual dial all they down, wait two seconds, then turn it one more notch - the light goes out and the climate control stays off until I manually turn it back on.
Maybe this will work for you.

By manual dial, I assume you mean the fan speed control in the center. The other two are the L/R temp dials, of course.

That makes sense...but what would cause it to come back on when I manually shut it off?

Yep i've got this issue on my 2004 530i. If i want to shut air off why can't I? Although for me it appears like it's a dodgy connection as sometimes it stays off other times it comes back on...strange

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
From what I have heard, this is normal operation.
