... I know that...
It's just that once you click recirculate the A/C turn on, if you push the A/C on/off button, the recirculate turns off...

I think this is a 'safety' feature so the windows don't fog up. Recirculating the interior air can make the air fairly humid, so the A/C is set to automatically come on with recirc, essentially as a dehumidifier.

I agree, even with auto controls, I still like fully manual functionality.

Can I ask, though, why do you want recirc on without A/C?

Kinda makes sense

Sometimes it'll just get too cold, and I just want to turn the A/C off (I have TP's so it smells like crap at a light or something) Or if I know I am going to temporarily push it, I'll turn the A/C off (sometimes not at WOT)
I know there is a temperature setting too, lol... I use freeze my *** off or the death hot setting, nothing in between, lol
