Solar Panel question

Does anyone know if you can set the temperature when the solar panels kick in?

Someone with a Star Diagnosis system (e.g. dealer technician) should be able to go in and calibrate the temperature sensor, which will affect when it comes on and doesn't.

It's probably not likely that a dealership would want to spend time figuring out how to make the adjustments and translate it into "degrees fahrenheit" that would make sense to you and me.

The computer can also be used to deactivate the system.

Can you clarify what you mean ? It adds a lot of weight to the car? I thought the pano did just because of all the glass
