View Full Version : Temp. Gauge mr_slim 10-19-2009, 06:37 PM Hey SL, I was wondring if there's any where to activate the temp gauge in our cars. The JDM/EDM models have, but why not us. Is it a program? Fuse? Thanks, Angelo draxcaliber 10-19-2009, 06:53 PM the temperature gauge? you mean the outside temperature? or the coolant temperature? if your car doesn't have it, it probably doesn't have the sensor to even read it, so i doubt toyota would delete it and save money by not installing a fuse. Ace83 10-19-2009, 10:43 PM get a scangauge II and save the headache of looking for it.. maybe tc dont have it coz its not jdm lol mcbrew 10-21-2009, 04:50 PM Our cars do have a coolant temp sensor. As Ace83 mentioned, you can access it with a ScanGaugeII. As far as a display, all we have is the "cold engine" light that goes out at 125ºF IIRC.

Ace83 10-22-2009, 01:55 AM oh, i didnt know xd doesnt have that.. coz we tcs have it from the factory mr_slim 10-23-2009, 06:12 AM oh, i didnt know xd doesnt have that.. coz we tcs have it from the factory yea. :( is there a way to activate it? or there isnt even a outside temp thermometer? sv650m 10-23-2009, 11:43 AM http://www.cyberdynegauges.net/ Check out these outside temp gauges. I put one in my FJ and it came out looking stock. It had a really nice place to mount it, havent found a place as nice in the xD, at least without cutting a hole in something. Cost about $65 for the gauge and the sender unit I believe. The amber guage with a homemade tinted acrylic face matched the stock lighting almost perfectly. You can see it in the right corner of this picture http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/gsf1200m/airtemp.jpg Davestoaster 10-24-2009, 01:34 AM ^^^^^^ Nice !! I was thinking the little round circle on the dash for the JDM push button start. The only other temp gauge I was considering was this one: http://www.mitocorp.com/auto-dimming-nvs-comptemp-specifications.html sv650m 10-24-2009, 12:54 PM ^^^^^^ Nice !! I was thinking the little round circle on the dash for the JDM push button start. I was thinking the same thing, but have just never got around to trying it. |
