I live in AZ where it is daily around 115+ degrees. While the auto stop does not work initially as the car cools down it does work. It seems that if I put it at 86 in auto it cools down relatively quickly and then the auto stop does work. While some might think that 86 is not that cool, it really is when the outside temp is 115+.
