What does that auto vent thing do? I don't know the name but you set it and it has 2 different times for it to work and then it lights up that little red light under the center... Do you use it in the winter to defrost? I have ment to look it up in the book but I always forget...

[/quote]Thank you, so I should set it up to go off before I get out of work so my car is nice and air circulated..
My 1999 540is had this feature called "REST" but I never figured it out. At least now its within idrive so its a lot easier. Pretty cool!

My benz has the same thing, in the winter, it will re-circulate the hot air from the engine for a half hour and same thing in the summer. In my benz, you hit the button before you shut the car off and then it will be on after removal of the key.
