Cabin And Outdoor Lcd Temperature Display

[ColinC1]

Though I would fit a cheap and cheerfull solution to my lack of outdoor temperature monitoring on the C1.

 

I bought a neat indoor/outdoor temperature monitor from my local garden centre, (cost under £8 ), its used mainly for greenhouses.

 

The monitor, has continous duel display, choice of F or C, and also takes a note of the highest and lowest temperatures with a reset. it is battery operated.

 

I just stuck the display down in the center console, with double sided tape, with the outdoor cable/sensor lead ran out to the outside of the car as photo.

 

The position of the sensor is located behind the side plastic triangle in front of the drivers door (as its a short length of cable), I just pushed the sensor behind the triange. There is a slight bit of wind factor on the move, which gives me a false reading of about 2 degrees F below the true value, so I just add 2.

 

At least it gives me a truer reading than just sticking my hand out, so it will give me an ice warning this winter :blink:
