View Full Version : solar sensor, what does it do? Mister2cool 09-30-2003, 11:35 AM Anyone know what's that little solar sensor under the front windshield?

I thought it could be there because it could be used for automatic headlights in other models. A lot of cars have dummy plugs/covers in certain places that are just sitting there unless the model car it is in utilizes it. Any other ideas on what it could be? sc00by71 10-25-2003, 01:02 AM It is for the semi-auto climate control system that is in the 04 USDM STi. It is interesting how the system works. It reads the solar sensor to determine how sunny it is ( if the sun is on you you feel warmer even if it's cold outside.) The interior temp sensor, the exterior temp sensor. All to try and maintain a desired comfort setting. Hope this helps Shawn srad711 10-25-2003, 01:25 PM Originally posted by sc00by71 It is for the semi-auto climate control system that is in the 04 USDM STi. It is interesting how the system works.

I don't think it never did anything really.. But I never seen the one in the STi. |
