Gt3 always comes on with ac fan on... compressor probably too
Is there a way to get the engine started without having the ac fan ON at the start of the car ?
gt3 has no key fob memory function. Etc.
just annoying to have fan or compressor ON at starting....
I read other threads but no satisfactory answer ...

Same experience here.
Radio is another thing; sometimes it's on and sometimes it isn't.... Actually it's always on it would seen, just the volume is "on" or ins't.... ?

They are all programmed at the factory to default to "on" at start-up. It does not bother me, but I've had two buddies take their car to the dealer to be reprogrammed to default "off". Pretty simple parameter change any Porsche dealer can change for you.

I would turn the key to the right one click without turning engine on and would turn ac off before half a second even passes then i turn on engine so when engine is on ac and fans are off in this scenario

I just checked my 15 GT3 and found that if the AC switch was in the on position at shutdown it was one on the next restart. The opposite is true, if it was off at shutdown it is off on the next restart.

That's the way it should be but the '18 manual states that if A/C is in auto mode, it will always default to on when car is started. Someone try taking it off the auto mode and see what happens.

Poor gas mileage equates to loss of power somewhere, I’d prefer to have the extra BHP to use as I wish. You’re right about some drivers driving with fogged up windows, though not me. Fogged up windows are often caused by having the fan at 0 speed, nothing to do with Air Con in their case but can be caused by not using the air con too.
