Can anyone modify the Mitsubishi Digital Aircon Panel Outside Temp Sensor

[rakuen]

hey sifus... I was wondering if anyone knew how to modify the Mitsubishi Digital Aircon Panel. It has a button on the top left that show the Outside Temperature. I was wondering if I can tap that sensor or connect the wires to read Water Temp or something like that.

It's a pretty neat and cost effective way to get a reading. The Outside Temp sensor is never accurate anyway, cuz its under the hood.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Cheers,

Rakuen

Well, its a possible yes and no.

If you have taken the digital control out before you will notice that there will be 2 sockets and one hose connecting to the console. The hose leads directly somewhere out thru the engine bay and down. Well, if you could possibly connect the hose all the way, then you can even get your armpit reading (joking)

But the other concern is that the heat sensor is actually located in the digital panel as well... that is why its never very accurate as the air have to travel all the way from outside to inside la.
