That way your A/c investment is protected.
35 deg F at what ambient temperatur? I'm in Fl too, and getting about 50 deg when outside is 90. Thats' with the windows open so I can test direct cooling, not looped cooling if you know what I mean.

I got approx. 35 degress F with recirculated air of course. Fresh air about 5 degress higher. All cars are different. When I had my 240D, I used to get 38 degress running on the interstate in recirc.-a sedan with no window tinting in 95 degree weather. This is of course with R-12 & a stick thermometer in the center duct-the best possible conditions. Paul.
