I can't find anything about the outside temp during installation. Does it matter?

From the readings I have found the recommendation is to install them at 70 degrees or higher. Just what I've seen.

I don't recall if the temps were on it. It was very difficult to read. I ditched the unit shortly after purchasing. As I recall, I had to make a mark so I knew where "off" was. It's one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for items. I'd spend a bit more and get something a little nicer. Sorry I couldn't be more positive about it :( ~~Susan~~

I can't see any reason either. The outside does not get hot - not even warm. Very well insulated. But it is an electrical appliance, so there is the rub.

My install. was under cover. Have had no problems. Sorry don't know answer to your question .

No. The inside unit is not built for the outside weather. You need he outside module for that.

There isn't anything to tell you the degrees or temp. Only a Low High and Warm. I've not had any problems with the simplicity of it like it is. Hope this helps.

Probably noticeable in temperatures. I wouldn't worry though, the stock cooler is surprisingly efficient. Might be a bit louder aswell.

It is based on the outside air temperature, so will vary, but nothing you can set. The instructions mention that.

I have not noticed it getting very warm on the outside. I simply paced in on my countertop uner a corner cabinet and have had no problems.

Dwell no longer matters after you install this. You will need to check your timing after install as mine advanced 8 degrees.

What I did was to cut it down to the right sizes of the garage panels and just gently squeeze them into each panel. Then I tested the outside and inside of each panel before and after the installation using an infrared thermometer during the peak summer here in Vegas and the average difference was about 13-17 degrees cooler inside.

It has been my experience with these units, (I have 4 In/Out temp units) that it is best to run them thru the firewall to a point in front of the radiator. (bout 6 inches away from the radiator itself. This allows air to flow across the sensor when you are moving thus giving a realistic outside temp. Of course the temp reading goes up when you are sitting still, but it's still good. The next best option is to run the sensor wire along the dash and down the door post and into the cavity in front of the door. This gives a reasonable temperature indication, but will be erroneous when the vehicle is sitting in the sun, and will not respond a fast as it would in front of the Radiator. Good luck.

Set your temperature it will keep it within a degree , depending on your box insulation mine was working like it should

As far as I know as long as you wipe the surface down with alcohol (where you will be placing the double sided tape) allowing it to dry I don't think the temperature will affect installation - the tape adheres well to any surface I have tried so far. The plastic is used to cover the interior side of windows; not outside of the window. I have also discovered it is best to place clear packing tape across the bottom part of plastic - on the underside of window sill - BEFORE shrinking with blow dryer. It helps to prevent plastic from pulling upward and eventually making it's way off window.

Yes, still runs hot, so plan ahead where you will be mounting it. Also consider heading to the local hardware store to get longer screws and stand offs to both increase your airflow under the unit and move it a bit further from your mounting surface (which reflects the heat right back to the unit).

There was no installation required. Just plug in and set it to the temperature you want.

Sorry to admit. I haven't installed it. I ordered it last winter and didn't get to it right away and then summer came. You know how it is. Outside taskes took precedence. I will put it in in the fall. Sorry to not be any help.
