I think 1 or 2 sensors are less in cars with basic CC and therefore there are errors when you scan the car.
The auto recirculation means that it switches from drawing in fresh air to heat or cool and pump around the car, to recirculating the air already in the car. Normally on most cars, you select manually whether you want recirc air or fresh air, and you would change to recirc if there was a bad smell outside or driving through smoke or something. Auto recirc does this automatically so it has a sensor to detect the incoming air and sense whether its smelly or smoky or dirty and then change to recirculating air if it is. The base climate doesn't have this, i had it on my old car and it was good, but i figured that just upgrading the unit would not add the sensors that are needed for this. However I am unsure if all cars are built with the sensor, and that it only works with the extended climate unit.
