Thermometer for Freelander

Can you get a thermometer put in so I can have an idea of what the outside temp is? I had one in my old car and really miss it with having horses as the freelander doesnt have one

Also would a garage have to fit it?

Thankyou

You can fit one of these: Digital In/Out Car Thermometer Voltage Monitor | eBay

You can then buy one of these: 12v Vintage Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Auto Cigaret | eBay

And wire it into your existing cigar lighter behind the dash and connect the socket to the power lead for the thermometer. Put the dash back in and it'll all be hidden away and be powered when the ignition comes on.

A agarage could do it, but so could you within minimal experience.

Outside Temp Gauge!!?? ................... about as useful as aircon in a Series 1!! ..............or a foghorn in a Vouge!! ............ or seatbelts on a motorbike!!

stick ya head out the window ya princess!

Check my last post on the thread - Display Fault? re thermometer etc.

Maybe over the top for you - but have a look.

Mantamad that is far too fancy a looking gizmo to be original to an 05 freelander surely?!?! Not that im jealous or anything....!

Oi Streetlander when you can milk 200 cows in -17 you can call me a princess, till then stfu!

My photo is rubbish The temp is in the bottom right of the display and yes its easy to fit but i needed to do a bit of soldering to fit it into the recess.

Link on here to ebay -

The plug in adapter that is designed to go into your cigarette lighter I fitted into the recess behind the clock then soldered the wires onto the circuit board of the thermometer itself

Nice bit of kit and cheaper than replacing the origional clock. Think one of these will be going on my chrissy list.

OO most helpful thankyou - does it fit into the same hole the old clock came out of? I thought it would be a freelander specific model or something?
