AC/Heater always on after ignition

[mleedom]

Hi All,

Random question. I have an 08 550i and every time I turn my car on either the heater or AC is on regardless of if turned off prior to shutting down the ignition.

Is this a setting with my climate control or is something broken? I would assume that if I turn off either the heater or AC prior to shutting g down my car that the next time I turn on my car it would still be off.

Thanks,
Mike

Have you tried pushing the memory button on the seat and resetting the memory on 1 or 2 before removing the key? Have you tried using the spare key to see if it gives you different settings? I also believe that through the selections that can be made by the dealer, or anyone with the software, you can the select if you want ac to be 'on' whenever you select auto, or require you to select it after selecting auto.

also may depend on settings when turned off if you get back in within a certain amount of time (sy 20 min or so) it will go back to where it left off vs an overnight stop/restart I believe
