I still dont understand why every time i turn the ignition on the AC startes by it self.
during my last visit to the dealer i was informed that they updated the software to 19.1.
could this be a solved by a new software upgrade or I just have to live with it

I guess this could be the case, but I thought I had the same issue until I realized that if I turned the A/C off before I turned the ignition off, it wouldn't automatically turn on when I started the car the next time and vice versa. It does, however, come on every time you press the "Auto" button. Mine is also a US car so maybe that makes a difference.

My Ride: 2005 BMW 330i Orient Blue exterior Beigh leather interior with Wood trim, Premium package, Steptronic auto, Xenon headlights.
My E60 also does this. Everytime before i turn my 530i of I make sure to turn off the A/C and the stereo. but when i start her back up again it my A/C unit is on. I find this weird but not a big deal.

The situation with mine is if I shut off the car with A/C unit not the frost symbol off for a short period of time it will stay off if I start the car. But if I shut the car down long enough the system will be back on when I start the car. During the winter months I ususally turn off the frost symbol because there's no need for it and the frost symbol wouldn't come back on, it is the whole system that I am concern about.
I think when you guys say A/C you mean the climate control system am I correct?

I thought climate control came on because it was on when I saved my key settings. Apparently not? It's OK with me if it comes on. It does what I want (i.e., would do anyway) way more than 50% of the time.

The only way to keep it completely off on my car is to turn off the AC AND also push the "OFF" button to turn off the fan before turning off the ignition. If I do that then the next time I start the car nothing comes on (no AC and no Fan). However, if I push the "OFF" button without turning off the AC first then the AC does come on again when the car is started the next time.

I switch EVERYTHING off before turning the ignition off and that's it.
