I have the printed info from the old thread regarding using the AC for accessing info on the car such as Coolant temp, etc.

Leading evidence: 'Use ac' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use ac' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

I read that thread about using the ac controls for this and I want to find it again and can't.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have the printed info from the old thread regarding using the AC for accessing info on the car such as Coolant temp, etc. I am trying to figure out how to get it to read in F, NOT C. I am not the fastest at trying to convert in my head from one to the other, so I would prefer to have it done for me!!! I followed the directions which say to hold down the recirc. button then push BOTH the temp. + - buttons. This does not switch them on my car. Anyone know another way to switch to F? Thanks

POST 2Original post

I read that thread about using the ac controls for this and I want to find it again and can't. Does anyone know where that thread is? thanks

POST 3Original post

You hold down the recirculation and top vent button for 5 seconds to activate. Then press the center button to toggle.

POST 4Original post

i think #6 is coolant temperature, #1 is oil temperature, what do the other #s represent?

POST 5Original post

you can get all of the info you need at this website. http://www.cb-racing.com/boxster_AC.html It says it is for the boxster, but it all should be the same.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Do you know how to get it to convert over to Fahrenheit? I have those same directions but I cant get it to convert over

POST 7Original post

For farhenheit, just double the Celcius number and add 30 for an approximation.

POST 9Original post

Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5. (1.8) Add 32. Example: convert 37 C to Fahrenheit. 37 * 9/5 = 333/5 = 66.6 66.6 + 32 = 98.6 F or 37C * 1.8 = 66.6 +32 = 98.6F

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! I know how to do the math conversion, but the instructions say you should be able to switch from C to F on the display. If this isnt possible, I can continue with the manual conversion, but it would just be much easier to see it displayed in F onscreen.

POST 11Original post

I don't think you can convert to F on the display, regardless of the instructions. You can work up or down from 100C which is 212F, 1.8 degrees F per degree C. Makes the math a bit easier. Also, I printed a small conversion chart that to use in the car. It is interesting to toggle between oil and water temps at various loads/conditions and watch the oil/water separator work.

POST 12Original post

It is not 1.8 degree F per C. You hve to add 32 to that calculation. 1.8 * 100 is only 180. Add the 32 and you get the correct F figure.

POST 13Original post

If you are working from, say, 100C = 212F, then you can quickly calculate that 99C = 210.2F or 101C = 213.8F or, 95C = 212F - 5x1.8 = 203F No need to do the extra calculation.
