Auto Climate inconsistent

Has anyone had auto climate set to a specific temperature, and if the outside temp is lower then it blasts heat while the outside temp is hotter it will blast cold air? I have tried turning off Climate Concierge, S-Flow, but nothing changes it.

And I'm talking about significant swings, say I have it set to 69, and if outside temp is 62, it will blast heat and definitely be over 69 inside.
But if it's 72 outside, it will blow cold air and be closer to what I'm used to with Lexus auto climate control.

If it’s blowing heat, make sure the AC is off. I found the temperature stays where you want it when AC and heat don’t fight each other. I have my settings set so AC doesn’t come on when auto setting is turned on. I just turn it on when I actually want it on.
 
Just turn off every Auto and Concierge feature. Then it seems to function properly, just has a weak ass fan and tiny vents.

I don't understand why the MaxCool feature doesn't light up the AC indicator, but it actually does a solid job of cooling the vehicle. It's also weird that the cooling seats seem to blow mainly from the centerline of the seats (so between your legs) vs where you're actually touching the seat. I assume it's about all of the HVAC shit going on under the seat covers with heat, cooling, massage etc.
 
FYI I'm pretty sure this car has three different settings for the AC button. Caveat: I don't have mine yet and I'm going based off the Northside Lexus YouTube video.

By default, there is no "light" or "blip" above the AC button, indicating auto mode.

AC forced on will show a blue light / blip.

AC forced off will show a white light / blip.
