Outside Temperature Display

[zouch]

i get your point, but it seems that (at least most of) our houses aren't subjected to temp changes anywhere nearly as rapid or varied as what our vehicles see.
a truly 'smart' system would consider the temp of the air it's trying to pump in as well as just the temp in the target environment.

for example, if ambient temp is higher than your intended interior target temp, is it useful to pump hotter air into your vehicle while the AC tries to come up to efficiency?
maybe the best logic is a delay like the old MBZs, where you didn't get any heat at all until the engine was up to full Op Temps?

maybe the best system would monitor what the system's actually *outputting* as well as target temp?


as a tangent, i remember having a mirror on one of our German cars replaced under the Extended Emissions Warranty because it had the Ambient Air Temp Sensor integrated into it,..

Not really stupid. My house central AC, for instance - the thermostat only monitors the inside temperature. It cools or heats at full capacity until the target temperature is reached. It’s not necessary to monitor the outside temp, as it’s ideal to reach the target temp ASAP anyway.

Mine is a bit off at times. It usually resets and does not last too long.

Your Jeep has almost a buck and a half on the clock? Nice.
Are you the original owner? Which engine is under the hood?
