So Brian, Chris was referring to this:

Are you saying that, on all models, this sensor is used only for the IPK display and not for conversion and transmission on the K-bus to the BCU?

Simon
All petrol models Simon there is one sensor and it is used to display the outside temperature on the IPK display.

On diesel models there are two sensors, one for use as in the petrol models, and the second is utilised by the ECM, and the data transmitted on the CANBUS to the multiplex in the KMB for onward transmission on the K-Bus to the HEVAC and Webasto Thermotop ECU.

I hope this clarifies the situation, and also the differences between the diesel and petrol models.
