All of a sudden today after i had driven the car a few times it started working again it should work whether its in auto or not even though i only use auto. Also does it turn the ac on when i place it on defrost or do i have to prgram it to do that.

i still think if it's in auto, it will detect and see what is a better option. at least on my gs400 and sc430, sometimes it kicks the fresh air and sometimes it stays in circulated air

not sure about the defrost though, all i know is fan at max
