See above post, you could enable rear defrost, then use the mode button to switch vents. Turning off the A/C is already supported by the big button labelled "A/C". =)drees said:Awesome work Phil - I think you'll find many people interested in this. My only comment is that sometimes I do want warm air out the top vents so I can warm my hands - the only way to do this is to go out of auto-mode which in which case would remove heat - maybe a manual switch or push-button option would be useful?
I assume this will also minimize the extra power consumption rise people have noticed when running the A/C - it seems in certain situations the car will run both A/C and heat when the car is close to desired temperature, but reducing temperature a degree or two lower will actually reduce HVAC power consumption instead of increase it.
Now how about a way to disable the A/C for the summer so it's easier to get fan-only?
