climate control - not keeping constant temperature

[m.r.davies]

I was on a long journey recently and had the climate control set to 20 degree's

However i noticed a physical change in the temperature, throughout the journey,
the climate still read 20, but we were much colder in the car compared with the rest of the journey

I think it maybe my pionner DEH-700bt aftermarket headunit which is warming up the sensor directly beneath the headunit slot

is there a way to read/disable individual sensors? is there more than one sensor?

thanks all

can't you use the diagnostic ability hidden in the re-circ button on the climate control to get readings for all 3 sensors in the car, don't know about disabeling them but i'm sure i've read in the instructions on one thread here about it telling you the value of each sensor. I've used it to compare the speed showing on the normal gauge. Someone will be able to give you a link to the info you need
