BUtton Combo

I was sitting in a friends Z31 and notice his guages show the outside temp as well as what the cabin AC is set too. I thought "how neat", he told me the Z31 shows outside temp as well, but u have to press certain button combo? anyone know what it is? I figured if the z31 had it then the Z32 would too.

only the 90-91's with auto climate control had outside temp sensor.
The Z32's with airbags replaced the temp senor with the airbag sensor.
There was no button combination, it was just displayed.

i'm pretty sure it was. i think someone (rizz?) moved it. it kinda belongs in both, because he is asking about both the z31 and z32.

Yea, I have a 90 and mine has it. My old 91 didn't have it however, since it had an airbag.

a lot of the 1990 models did. so did most all of the convertibles. only two 1991 models had manual climate controls.

Mine actually has auto climate control and an outside temp reading.
My 240z is for sale for whatever price it sells for. I'm just trying to not get too ripped off and not rip off anyone. I'm not really interested in any trades since I need money to feed my Z32. Basically I'm asking best offer at this point. Should be around $4.5K-$5K

That's cause the Z31 does it without touching anything. If you had a Z31 with auto climate, you'd understand he obviously mistyped it. One half = outside temp, one half = inside temp setting.

Z32 = something completely different. Maybe someone should edit their first post to clarify their question.....

What is this post doing back here? He's asking about a Z32, not a Z31. He's using the Z31 as a reference for something that used to appear in the Z lineup, but asking if it appears in the Z32 series.

Wrong. My 87T has outside temp sensor, and shows it on the display.

How does your 87 turbo have anything to do with a Z32?
