AC off - heat from registers

I think that's normal, my truck does the same. Even with the climate control completely turned off, the system still operates some functions behind your back. One them is to pop open the fresh air flap when the truck is moving faster than around 17mph.
What I suspect is going on is that, even though the heater control is turned off, there is still heated coolant flowing through the heater core and, consequently, radiates heat into the air disto box. That in turn heats the air flowing through the box by virtue of the vehicle's speed since it automatically opened the fresh air flap.

Yep. I'm a goober. Tested it today (much cooler) and guess what? Air about the temperature of outside came from the vents. Clearly normal.
I guess I hadn't noticed that on any of my other vehicles. On my GMC truck if you ever turned the whole system off you wouldn't get anything out of the vents. Same with my wife's MB.
Good news: one less thing to fix.
