Question being, does the X1's system have automatic compensation for heavy sun load? Hate to mention another German brand, but my bride's A4 compensates for sunload very well, and it isn't necessary to adjust the temp to be comfortable.

What I really need to know is , 'do I have a sensor out to lunch, or is my AC working as expected?'

You really like your luxury.

If I like it colder, I just twist drivers knob a few degrees, and/or push fan button which has 7 settings.

The hardest part is when you want cool flow through air that's 68 degrees outside you need to turn temp down to 60 deg.

Then, when you push AC button because outside is over 70 degrees, you have to turn temp up to about 70-75.
