Thats why. My temp always reads -30oC. Thanks

Now time to get a new exterior temperature sensor.

Does anyone know how to get the time to show up every time you start the car. I have the time on but once I shut off and re-start the car the temp (which is fucked) shows up and I have to switch back to time. So I want to get time to always show when the car is started. Anyone know if this is possible??

Replace the temp sensor which is located at the drivers front corner of your car.

Also as mentioned, if it is 37 degrees F or below outside, the OBC will default to display the temp to warn you of possible black ice conditions.

Move somewhere warm and it will stop going to temp on start up

Replace the thermostat.

Re-read post.

Replace the thermostat.

You can't get it to go allways to time, if outside temperature is less than +3c, while it's higher it will go to function that was used last.

Replace the thermostat, it the closest solution.

dude this car is from the 80's.

the breakdown is MMDD, there is no year there.

that configuration works only if you have it set to American units or imperial...not sure but the manual has a rather good explanation on how to set up things like this.

Thanks, lol it makes sense now. The douchnozzle previous owner destroyed the manual. I could check how to reset it online though.

How the hell do you set the date in these things. It only has 4 availible numbers. What if it is 12/16/09?



I get to this point but cant get it to stay?
