Hey guys, thanks, just one question
I have the Flyaudio.. I can set it to recirc, but due to a system bug, it defaults to outside air everytime I restart the car, so.. is that going to be a problem, is the key just recirc before I work on it or does it matter what happens when I turn off the car.

You sir may not be human. Here in Texas if I don't get fresh air at night the windows get foggy and I hate it!

LOL, I usually drive alone and never have much of a fog issue. Last night I went out on a date and we were both talking and within 5 min all the windows were fogged up. Changed to outside air and BAM fog gone.

and here in the winter its more prominent, recirculation = big time fog up. Pullin in air from outside definitely helps.

Defogging/defrosting/fresh air. Rain can do it, but it's usually from higher humidity followed by a temperature drop, or just cold weather in general (sub-freezing temperatures cause all sorts of fogging).

Usually I have mine set to outside air, I prefer fresh air. I change it to recirc if I want Max A/C.
