Good question, I couldn't see it either, as you say assume its because lexman8 has the aux heater.

Some people reported that the latest Apple app version fixed the problem while others said id didn't.

However, it's interesting that mine does say 'Parking Climate' on the app which is what the aux heater is called within Sensus. This might explain the temperature difference I mentioned in the previous post in that the aux heater might have it's own temperature sensor for determining when to switch on. In other words, with the aux heater fitted, the app reports the temperature at the aux heater, not at the door mirror.

The temperature is displayed on my phone and tablet (both Android).

No, I don't see that without aux heater. See attached.

Perhaps it does need the aux heater after all. Checking Swedespeed again I see that the app temperature display is shown as part of their Remote Start function on the app. We don't have this in the UK (or EU) so maybe the temperature isn't available as standard here after all.

'okt' is a bug apparently.

Thanks for the info, great to see those 2 issues being reported are not on the MY17.
I have the auxiliary heater on my options list too so will be interesting to see how it does when we get some different weather.
Does the app let you cool down the car before you get in with the fan.

VOC App on the iPhone with a T8 shows the temperature and as Lexman8 found, it's around 4 or 5C below the dashboard reading.

PS. How do you get the "Attached Thumbnails" border around you image(s)

Yes indeed. Have used it a couple of times to do that. For up to 30 or 40 minutes I think.

Not sure! It might be because you're using the embedded 'ATTACH' command and I use Attach Files/Manage Attachments within Additional Options?

Thanks for the reply, I use the paperclip icon, which opens a manage attachments window, upload an image then I can select it from the paperclip icon. How do you get to the Additional Options?

I tried the paperclip icon (never noticed it before!) and it opens the Manage Attachments window that I usually get to but I still get the box around the thumbnail.

The Additional Options are further down the new/reply page , see attached.

I'm working on a Win7 PC if that makes a difference.

Thanks Lexman8, I'll give it a play next time. I'm on Windows 10, but it will be the same behaviour.

EDIT. Got it, if you use the paperclip method, you get the thumbnails inline with BB Code and without a border. If you use the Manage Attachments in the Additional Options, the attachments are shown at the end of the post without BB Code and with a border.
