Is there any way to set the outside temp to default on?

[99-LS1-SS]

I like seeing the outside temp and it's a LOT of effort to reach all the way from my shifter to my A/C control and THEN I have to actually push a button! By then I'm out of breath and need a nap.

So, is there a way to adjust that setting? Thanks.

i have and auto and i think it sucks to press a button, who wants to do that

It would be nice if you could just press a button and talk to the car computer. Wait a minute thats another button you'd need to press.:wacko:

I feel exactly the same way. On the '08, it would switch back after 20 secs. or so. But I noticed right away that the '09 stays as long as you want it. Or, until you shut down & restart. Would'nt it be a bitch if the GXP's didn't do that? :rofl:

:nah:

GTprix may be able to do something like that. He's a wiz!

Maybe there's a secret engineering mode for the radio/HVAC.

I have been wondering if this was possible too. I hate having to turn on the outside temp every time I get into the car.

I think you have just won this months award for: "Most appallingly lazy member".

Now let me make sure I understand this........?? So, you are saying that having to push a button once to show exterior temp. until you next turn the ignition off is too much trouble? :rofl:

Perhaps, if you held the button down once while squirting super glue into the switch, then taping over it 'til the glue sets up??? Worth a try IMO. :p

Another solution comes to mind! Since your mod budget tops out at $50, you might try following another G8 home. Then, if they have a DashHawk, just throw a large rock thru the window and grab it. Be sure to get the cable too. If you feel that your conscience might bother you, here's a solution for under $10.00 + tax at your local Target store. Just tape it to your driver side mirror and your'e set for all seasons. http://www.target.com/Derby-Duck-Swimming-Pool-Thermometer/dp/B000QCVCF4/sr=1-11/qid=1237670391/ref=sr_1_11/183-5010063-6154617?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&pricerange=&rh=k%3Athermometer%20outdoor&page=4

Is there a way to default that on everytime you start the car?

[norm8332]

Not without reprogramming that isn't available.

Search button is there for a reason...

You coulda just said no, but that would be too easy.

So, to be short and simple, the answer is no?

Correct.

[Chewy]

Merged!

[Rawyzf]

Correct.

Thanks :).

I just posted on another thread, but do you know if you can default the daytime runners off, rather then have to use the switch on every startup?

[PerfectD3]

Pull the DRL fuse. Again, there is a thread on this as well...... Search is your friend.

Nope, I couldn't. Otherwise, everytime you have a question there would be a new thread. Search first, post second.

I did do the search for Daytime Lights, but didn't find this. I'll try searching for DRL and see if that gets me anywhere.
