outside temperture

It must have saved them about 5 grams from the drivers wing mirror!
I was talking to mark fish (Renaultsport specialist) about this and he said a lot of the features they remove from the cup dont really save any weight, they're more to position the car in the market as a more track oriented car. For example key start vs keyless start, ok so you lose the keyless signal receiver thing but you add a key barrel, hardly any difference in weight, cup version may even weigh more!

IIRC the cup has manual mirrors, so no wiring to the mirror, which suggests a different door loom. If the car loom as the same, then you could take a power mirror, replace the gubbins with manual stuff but retain the temp sensor, and replace the door loom, then you just need to work out how to update the display.
Having looked at adding power fold mirrors to my FF, it looks more complicated than that, with suggestions that the FF with power fold mirrors has a different loom to the FF without. This suggests that the Cup will certainly have a very different loom, essentially making it unfeasable.
Hard to get an answer without in depth interrogation of the parts software to identify just which parts (looms, modules) are different.

Yea, but you need to know what the outside temp is in a focused car, need to know the risk of ice!
I'd imagine the loom may be to the door mirror but will stop there...... Then i also reckon you'd need to go into uch programming to tell it it has a temp sensor....... Then find out what track the probe is wired on, fit it and it comes on?
I got a Cup (and the same problem) too. I already looked for the sensor. Isn't the socket for the temperature sensor located in the front bumper? When I open the hood and look in the engine compartment I see a cable which isn't connected.
I figured that's the socket for plugging in the sensor or am I wrong?

Maybe it's just me but I only looked at the temp sensor recently to watch how cold it is, but having just been outside and got in it I needed no measurements as I could tell....
it was bleedin' cold
