Here in North it's cold and damp and A/C doesn't do anything if automation decides it's cool enough inside.

 

Fine by itself, but at this time of the year just drying the incoming air would help a lot and  as far as I knew 10 minutes ago, there's no way to force A/C on and what follows is fogged windows, all of them.

 

I just noticed from another post that putting automation into recycle -position, would force the A/C on at the same time. Manual doesn't say anything about that, can anyone confirm?

 

It's raining sleet outside, I' m not going out just to test it right now.

 

The rant: WTF were they thinking at factory when they decided that one(!) vent in the middle of the dash would be enough? It leaves large areas at lower corners of windshield semi-permanently fogged as there's no air flow to there and adding fan speed doesn't help at all, only noise increases.

 

I've seen some comments that removing interior air filter would help, but it's not really easily accessible, so I haven't tried that yet.

 

 

 

manually send 12v to compressor clutch? maybe wire it through a relay to rear demister.
