    Any ideas? My first guess is it opens the door, much like a TVR.

    It's a sensor that displays the outside temperature and also flags up a "snowflake" on the dashboard when the temperature drops below freezing.

    It's an ice sensor. Toggles a warning light on the dash.

    hm, never seen it before. Thanks for the help.




    In case you think its fishy that I own a 550 and never noticed it... I'm not really an owner (feel free to help me fix that by donating to my Ferrari fund :) ), just an enthusiast who has used this name for the last 3 or so years on various message boards and AIM.

    Boom box detector. Automatically rolls up the windows when some obnoxious creep with a winged Toyota and 27 amplified woofers rolls up beside you at a stop light.

    Just noticed the same "button" on my F355. Is it also an outside temperature sensor?

    Since the F355 does not have any gauge providing the outside temp, I wonder if it's possible to install one easily?

    If this outside temp sensor pre-cabled? And hence will it be possible to have an outside temp gauge installed in the cabine?

    Any info are welcome.

    Cheers,
    Chris

    I tought it was a "drip" pin, serving no real function. Ask a dealer mechanic. I would but i don't care what it is.
