Displaying IATs in cluster ??

Has anyone figured out how to show IAT / AITs on the cluster (instead of ambient temperature) ? I think this would be a great mod (kind of like monitoring oil pressure and oil temperature)....

Its been done, You run the wires up from the Temp sensor to do it. Search ForrestGump9 he did a little mini write up on it.

Bad idea since you'd have to tap into you OAT sensor line and that's going to confuse the **** out of the ECU since it does need to read a correct OAT to calculate a density offset for the fuel mix

Thanks guys, but I was hoping there was a way to display OBD2 variables in the cluster....I know there are some advanced menus, but apparently nothing for displaying AIT ???

Maybe the best idea would be to upgrade to a CLS63 dash, so that I could have oil temp / oil pressure / and voltage....

Someone must have figured out a better way to get AIT to display in the cluster....

There are no"Advanced Menus" and the CLS63 dash does Oil temp/Voltage/Lap time no oil pressure
