Climate Control question
How do I vent fresh outside air into the cabin when the inside temp is below 64F and the outside temp is lower than that?
If I set the climate control temp on anything other than "LO" (64 or higher), I get heated air (whether using auto or manual). If I set the climate control on "LO", the compressor kicks on and I get cooled air. Fiddled with the manual compressor setting, the manual fan settings, etc., to no avail.
I just want unheated, unconditioned, fresh air without having to lower a window.

Turn off the A/C, set the temp to max cool and adjust the blower as you wish. Yopu do need the blower since the location of the exhauster ports prevents any natural cabin airflow.
I have a switch in the center console box that opens the A/C compressor clutch circuit so I don't need to constantly "manage" the A/C mode. Absolutely no use for A/C below 65F OAT.

In your Cab you could lower the top. Couldn't resist. Good Luck.

De-humdifier below 65F......
And just what good is that likely to be except for adding to your discomfort by drying the air out?
I have no objection to the use of the A/C as an aid in defogging the windows WHEN THE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ARE SUCH THAT IT WILL BE OF HELP.
Luckily Porsche, unlike most asian and some US manufacturers, doesn't rely exclusively on the A/C for this purpose, on the hottest day of summer the Porsche climate control will heat the airflow to the windshield in defrost/defog/demist mode.
In cooler, moist climates and in wintertime when you are most likely to need defrost/defog/demist functionality the A/C is most probably at least partially disfunctional if not actually fully disabled by the manufacturer.
