I have that disabled in my mp5.
but I also have to manually (under the dash) change my venting. not sure how the subi is setup, but on the mazda, when you turn the dial to get it over to the 2 defrost settings, it toggles a little switch on the vent table under the dash. Ive thought of a couple different ways to bypass it and still have the use of my ventswitch on the dash, instead of climbing under it if I want to switch where the air is blowing from, but as it stands now it works pretty darn good.
although, I do have to wait a little extra time for the car to heat up to provide dryer, warm air, its not so terrible as to offset that Im not using the AC unit.
