2020.20.17 update - AC issue?

[SoCalTezla]

Anyone experience any AC issues with the 2020.20.17 update?

I downloaded the update last night and today I noticed I had to run my AC at speed 7 to feel any kind of air in my car whereas normally I'm freezing at speed 3.

Thanks in advance.

After the past two updates the vents being used has changed. Usually I have the air shooting at me from mid-dash with the AC on. After these updates the AC was turned off and air was coming out only near the floor. Hopefully that’s your problem. It had me worried too, the first time. Then 2nd time I knew what the issue was. Good luck.

I think I have the same problem as socaltezla. If however I stick the system in full auto, the AC feels normal.

I just updated to 2020.20.17 over the weekend, and I noticed the AC had been put into Auto so wasn't blowing very hard. Once I figured out it was in Auto, I turned off the Auto, and it worked like normal again - just as it had been. No AC issues.

People don't leave the climate on AUTO? That's what I've always done for years.

Anyone have a problem with the back vents along the door panel? even on 11 it barley feels like air is flowing out of them........my rear passengers are in a sauna.

I like more forceful air when I'm really hot, so I adjust the fan speed to a higher setting than Auto would. When I'm cooled down, I might turn it back to Auto, or I might just lower the fan speed. I like having the option.

You can do this all in auto - just use the scroller on the steering wheel to lower the temperature down as low as it goes, and you'll get full blast AC. Then when you're cooler you can set it back at whatever temp you were at before. No need to fiddle with the AC settings or have to look away from the road.

Since we're in an X forum, I'm assuming you're talking about a 6 or 7 seat X. Since the 6 or 7 seat X doesn't have an 11 setting for those vents... Please hold while I bite my tongue... Now that my tongue is bitten, when you look at the bottom of the A/C settings, there is a "Rear" section which only has three parts: "Auto", "Temp", and "Fan Speed". You need to set that fan speed in order to affect air flow to any side vent behind the driver compartment. You will also need to turn off "Auto" if your passengers aren't being detected (for instance, if they are animals and no seatbelts are latched).

ETA: For clarification, I mean animals literally. More specifically light pet animals that would not set off the weight sensors in the seats. Humans who are such "animals" that they don't use seat belts would still set off the weight sensors and presumably trigger the automatic rear A/C.

your forgetting the 5 seater;, thats the one im talking about, it has x2 on the Falcon door panels. they dont seem to ever work even on 11. its a sauna back there

Try a power-off reset to regain air flow if it seems weak. My car needed one when I came back from golf and it was hot. The flow was really poor, but the power-off reset brought it back.

It could be wrong, but my impression is that there is no such beast. If you have such a beast, it is feasible that the wrong pillars were installed and those vents aren't actually connected to anything.

It seems I've been misinformed regarding the pillar vents in the 5 seat MX according to this post.
