My Ride: 530i

I tried searching, but ended without any results.
Well every time I enter in my car, the climate control is always on. Before I leave the car, I make sure everything is off. Is there a setting I'm missing?
I just picked up my 530i and I'm trying to figure out things (manual is not very informative)

If you don't want the AC to come on when you start the engine, simple (before you turn the engine off) press the Auto button and then the Off button. The next time you start the engine, the AC will NOT be ON.
This didn't work. Any other ideas

[/quote]I have seen the matter discussed before, but I can't remember if there was a suggestion that actually worked. I say live and let live. Let it come on to show you it's on the job. Say thank you and turn the Bill-Gates like thing off. Unless you want your windows down, there's not much reason to turn it off.
However, if I want to go fast straight, then I turn it off way before I am ready. The compressor does not actually have a clutch so it is not instant off and instant on.

My experience is if I leave the AC off and turn off the car for short period time, it will stay off. When I leave my car off over few hours it will always turn the climate control back on automatically.

Mine is -never- on auto, because I want to control when the AC compressor is engaged. I leave the fan in the lowest position, only turning it up if I need to change the temperature quickly. The temperature knobs still function the way they're supposed to, but I need to control the fan. No biggie.
Mine has no problem returning to the proper state when I start the car.
Nice avatar Rudy!
