AC off button. Where'd it go?

I'll admit I haven't spent much time going through the manual. When it's nice outside I like to turn off the AC and let the fan run. I can't find the button that my F82 had. Just some nonsense AC Menu button. I end up turning the temp up to ambient.

You press the AC menu button...it will be this third screen and you will see A/C with a check box, tap the A/C check box to turn it off.

So easy to do when you are driving a speed demon of a car! I understand that it saves the car company a few bucks to put everything on the display but it makes driving much harder and somewhat dangerous.

There should be buttons/switches for those adjustments that one makes while driving. The rest, i don't care. Go ahead and put that in the display.

End of rant.

Maybe it's possible to assign this function to one of the 8 numbered buttons ?

I hate that companies are starting to bury commonly used function in the computer system. Give me buttons and knobs for this stuff!! It's that way with a lot of stuff on my Jeep and I hate it, especially with the lag the system has.

That's almost as easy as pushing the button! If only we knew what the command was.

Of course, I keep forgetting if it's "OK BMW" or "Hello Alexa" or what.

It is in the A/C menu. I was at the dealer talking to the Genius today and lamenting that I'd have to go back into the menu to turn it back on at which point he said, Hey BMW, turn off the air conditioner and off it went

Don't forget that you can change the activation word in iDrive! My loaner X5 responds to "hey stupid".

Not sure what I'll call my G80 yet but "hey BMW" sounds just a touch dorky for my tastes.

Won't that be a problem if you are traveling with your kids?

I jest.

Reminds me of an old Bill Cosby joke: When his son was younger, he thought his name was Dammit.

"Dammit, get over here!"

"Dammit, put down that dead rat."

"Who drank my Pepsi? Dammit, stop drinking my soda!"
