From what MY does it activate when activating OBC? I have a 2003 and want the outside temp. My plan is to activate it only, and maybe later do the mod with a rocker switch for the other functions.

* Is there any risk of unwanted side effects when just activating OBC?
* Is there any risk that any of the other functions are displayed when just activating the OBC, not being able to navigate to outside temp without having done the mod?

Thx in advance!

Activating the OBC will have no side effects, it just won't display anything without the switching device.
