Default

There's a way to do it without re-programming the climate control unit

Default True, but you need to recode if you want it to always work properly.

If I recall, I think the temporary fix is channel #16 in program/test mode to control the recirc flap, but it only lasts until you turn off the car or hit "auto". Plus, you have to hold the key down till it shows 35 which takes forever... Recoding allows you to recirc any time you want just by hitting recirc. Wow!!!

By recoding you make it so you ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION to recirc, like on almost every other car on the market.

Default My way (recode) lets you recirc whenever you want, just by hitting the button. Like on other cars..
