I've never had tint. Does it make a big difference?

Default "Auto-recirculate" is the key. Keeps you from mixing in outside hot air
so it uses cooled inside air as the source instead

Default It makes a HUGE difference. I have tints on my car and my fiance does NOT. It's like a 10 degree
difference.

Default definitely.
I've just been too lazy to take it in and have it done.

Default good advice. i have found that to work the best...
...but when your temp is routinely reading 126, hard for any AC to keep up.

Default Yes...
A German thing is more like it. American and Japanese AC is ice cold when you want it to be. Audi...tolerable at best.
