Outside Temp Reading

Thanks for that detailed explanation.

I guess I'll just hafta live without the outside temp being displayed!

After a while you might change your mind. You can have the OBC turned on by someone with a PST2/PIWIS, but you will not see anything until the retrofit.

Then you retrofit a switch or a new stalk assembly. Switch is about $35. New stalk assembly about $158. About $15 for 5 VW wires and a connector. Then you will have the OBC just like a 2001.

Hey toolpants, I was looking for this very info after we spoke last time -- finally found it in your post . I also tried to imagine having a stalk in the car, and you were right -- my left knee would definitely come in contact with it when changing gears etc. (for those who are having difficulty following - I'm 6'2", and toolpants had pointed out that taller people didn't prefer the stalk due to restricted room).

Let me know when we have the next "work on cars" day (I don't need to get mine done right away, so I could learn while working on someone else's car, and then do my car on my own).
