Windows misting up in cold weather (on the inside)

[JustAnotherMidlifeCrisis]

Best A/C setting or other solution, please!

Have you had the R63 and HVAC module updates?

In my SE (with the relevant updates) I use 21°C as the target and have the HVAC on Auto.

Try preheating the car before you set off. Can be done from the app.

Mine's fine, I just leave it on auto. If it's misting up in wet weather, it's usually because the thing's on recirculate without the AC running. Misting up as soon as the fans start in cold weather is frequently due to moisture in the system, possibly a wet pollen filter or a leaky car filling with moisture when it rains.

What I said on another thead works for me :-

1. Keep your A/C on all the time;
2. GIve your windows a good clean inside to remove any film and if you want, try an anti fogging coat on the interior to help reduce misting;
3. Try and keep the interior as dry as possible;
4. On a medium/long trip in dryer weather, set the interior temp to max (with fan speed high) and drop the windows a cm to help extract warm moist air from the car; and
5. Use dehumidifier bags on the dashboard if really needed.

I have found in both my car and my Wife's Mini Electric that the inside of the windows do seem to accumulate more of a film than in petrol cars, similar to when I owned diesel cars. So you end up having to wipe them down with a soft cloth more often. Maybe just poor air filters in the car
