Does the 825 have a factory air temp gauge? When I turn my key on it shows where it would be shown at? Top middle of display screen. But when I start it up its just blank in that spot. I didn't see it being an option when I bought it or being able to buy the temp gauge extra can't find much about it online. Also I noticed when I start it up somtimes my clock is wrong and I have to reset it. I'm starting to think I have a faulty display. Please Help Thanks

The clock on my 2014 835i is notoriously fast, gains 15 min per month. As to the ambient temp gauge, I noticed that as soon as I got my Gator and have been planning to investigate. I was at the dealer parts counter and asked about purchasing connector pigtails for the two IP connector plugs. They are not available but a mechanic heard me and gave me a cutoff IP connector with all the leads. So I plan to put leads in the unused positions and experiment. I suspect that if a thermistor was connected across the correct terminals, the display would stay on and read ambient temp. And there should also be a terminal which can be grounded or not to select F or C. Here is a pic of the terminal pinouts if you want to try it. I will post my results if and when I get time to do it. Not really necessary but if the panel has the capability, I want to use it!

I did this and sure enough it worked. Used a thermistor salvaged from an automobile AC system. I need to find the correct thermistor or add a resistor to calibrate this one because it reads 43* when the temp is really about 68*. But I am on the right path... Did not find a way to make it read C, you Kanucks will have to figure out how to make it parler le Francaise.
