"If I set the temp to 68, the air blows out at 68, whether it's AC or heat."
This is a misunderstanding of an automatic temperature control system as in the newer vehicles. You are not setting the temperature of the air the system is putting out, you are setting the temperature you want the cabin. Just as in a home HVAC system when you set a temperature you are setting the house inside temperature you want to maintain, not the temperature of the air the system produces.
I despise all automatic temperature control in vehicles because they do not work under most conditions with the exception of a long trip where the system has enough time to stabilize. I would prefer a manual control system where you do set the temperature of the air the system is producing. Unfortunately most vehicles today are not even available with a manual system.
