Oppo seems to know everything, so I have two questions to ask.

1). Does the Max Cool or Max A/C button many cars have do anything other than optimize all the regular setting to facilitate maximum cooling? In my car, it makes all air come from dash vents, locks out recirc (meaning it turns recirc off, if you turn it on, max cool stops) and maxes out the fan speed. Does it also do something to the compressor or some other oddness? Or is it basically the same as me just setting the fan to max, temp to min, dash vents only, recirc off?

2). In this day and age, why aren't all cars available from the manufacturer (heck, standard) with remote start and remote climate control functions? I should be able to pull out my phone, start my car, and run my AC for 15 mins before I get in (or conversely warm up the motor and run the heat in the winter). Everything's automatic these days so there's no worry of starting the car in gear, and it could have some sort of 15-20 minute auto shutoff to make sure you don't forget and accidentally idle your car for 10 hours. It seems like it would be really simple, cheap, and useful. So why not?

I didn't read your questions, but shall give these answers nonetheless:

1) Don't stick your dick in crazy. Even really really hot crazy.

2) Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey

2) $$$$$$$$$$$$$ screw paying money for that. I'd love to have it, but not at ~$1000 it would probably add in cost to the car.

1. On my truck, I can only set it to "60", as that is the lowest setting there is. It'll optimize the vents too.

B. In the near future...

2. Then the dealership would have one less thing to try to sell you after for $1600. Think of the dealers, man! Why are you trying to disrupt their business structure?!

What does a remote starter cost for your car? Add the technology of climate control? It'll cost more than it is worth to me.

For crazy-hot crazy, hit it and quit it with a fake identity, lest thee be revisited years into the future by a crazy scorned lover. With a knife.

Sorry, my notifications on my phone can be wonky if the last thing I left open was the notification page, sometimes I don't see them. Trust me you're not the only one who I have missed. Will respond there in a moment.

Starting your car 15 minutes early so you can run the AC is a terrible waste of fuel, and gasoline is expensive enough already. The MAX AC function closes off ambient air and only recirculates cabin air while using the high fan setting.

I thought I was clear, Max AC in my car shuts off the recirc, meaning that if I try to turn recirc on, Mac AC deactivates.

In my car the max ac button did nothing. Same as the a/c button. Now I drive a car without an ac button.
