dash display question, boffin needed.

[chris mcm]

radio wasnt working in the car (2008 197 cup), so i took it out and found that only 3 parts were connected, black housing, grey housing and the aerial. after rooting around i found a set of wires with a yellow housing so i connected that and it finally let me put the code in a get the radio working. but, there is no outside temperature showing. there wasnt before either, the display would just show the time and nothing else. so i took out the radio on my mums 2007 rip curl clio and found that hers had a set of wires in a blue housing as well as the grey, black and yellow one mine has. why does hers have 4 connectors and where is my temerature readout! i know this is a small thing but i like to have everything working as it should. any help with this would be very appreciated.

Your is a light weight 'cup' car and it may not have been fitted. Does your drivers mirror have the sensor it (small bump on the underside of it)?

 

[chris mcm]

just checked the wing mirror. underneath there is a small round hole where it looks like there should be something sticking out of it. do you think i have a missing sensor maybe?

 

[Chris]

Yeah or no sensor because its a cup. Weight saving and all.... Just an intelligent guess though

not fitted on cups...full stop!

not sure what you mean?

the outside temperature isn't fitted to cups..

check/do a search as its been asked a few times and I don't think anyone has retro fitted it (yet) if that's what your after
