I fully understand that the defroster works much better with the a/c on, but how hard would it have been to either have the a/c button light up while in that mode or even let you select if you want it on or not?

It's not always that you want the a/c on when in that mode.... seems Honda seems to think they know what's better for you instead of letting you have a choice, which as it stands, you don't.

Anyway, the point of my post was to alert other owners of this oddity and if they think they are traveling with the a/c off to improve their gas mileage while in this mode, the aren't.
