[Peppino91]

Hello guys, I registered on this forum to understand a p? pi? on the elm327...I state that I need the elm to activate the function, outdoor temperature sensor. On a forum for 500 we speak of the version 1.3 just from what I've been able to understand that version ? pi? in the trade...I don't know where to buy the elm ne the version you want to take...I hope I can help

It is fine for 1.4 or 1.5. As listings you'll be spoilt for choice. Here you can insert a link, but just type in a search engine and you will open? a world

Unfortunately ? one thing that you will discover...when you have between your hands Externally they are identical, and they say even the same vendor can? have in stock with internal circuitry is different. It goes a little luck (I speak of course of those classic economic for? they do well in their work). However, if you do not change ? nothing earth-shattering...

But the sensor, you have to reactivate after an intervention, or there was just installed?

No...in practice, I have a 500S, I took it just out in practice, fiat has made a mess with the sensors outside temperature and the light in the cargo area...? they traded the S for the pop (the base of the 500), and then we have left the cos? without those two "extras" that then optionals are not...for the light in the trunk I have donated (you see a piece of plastic that their costs 2€)...for the sensor to hear...not able to activate it! absurd things, and then not have to buy the sensor...I even have to buy the elm to activate it...

[SlimPickens]

Understood. The mysteries of mother Fiat Someone here will know? surely tell you how to act, also, with the ELM can monitor many other things in the future, you will come back? definitely useful.

Thank you expect...in the meantime, I asked a friend if in the workshop, they have it...it should be a simple obd for the diagnosis right?

[SlimPickens]

Well in the workshop have specific tools, even if apparently the software "amateur" have nothing to envy. However the connector ? always, a 16pin that connects to the diagnostic socket.
