What interior temp is your app reporting today?

[guru1]

OK it's scorchio today.

My M3 is parked in the sun and I just checked the interior temp on the app and it's saying 64 degrees!

I'm curious to see what other temps other people have?

 

[Tony Hoyle]

56 degrees here.

I'll worry when it hits about 90..

 

[MrT3]

59 for me an hour ago when I hit the vent button.

 

[Pink Duck]

40 ℃ for me, but I did set Cabin Overheat Protection before parking up, plus lowered both wind shield blinds.

Anything 60 degree and up isn’t great for the screens and electronics.

 

[Foucault]

61 just now (outside air temperature is 37)

 

[phoenixcat]

62 degrees before I turned cabin overheat protection on, outside was 37. I installed a windscreen and roof shade before I parked up, doesn't seem to have made much difference!

 

[Mrklaw]

does the app show visibly if cabin protection is kicking in? tyring to work out if the noise outside is my car running the AC or not

Yes, it should appear in the Climate section of the app - well it has on mine and the temperature is down to 37 from 61. Assume it didn’t come on earlier as haven’t driven the car since last Friday, so had gone to sleep.

It’s seems to be more related to sun and car position than outside air temp… which is a contributory but smaller effect. I saw 62C a couple of weeks ago on a clear sunny day yet the air temp was only about 21c.

It’s gorgeous here in the Scottish Borders today… a breeze to take the edge off and only 26C air temp, so nobody risking death by going outside! Hotter tomorrow though….

55 for me. Sunny Dundee..
I've got cabin overheat on.

 

[snow-munki]

65C here !!
I've just vent the windows, hopefully it doesn't bust the electronics !!!

 

[Pink Duck]

The MCU2 automotive-grade LCDs are rated for 85 ℃ operation and 95 ℃ storage. The MCU1 LCDs only validated to 60 ℃.

High cabin temperatures may result in outgassing from textiles inside, which may condense on to interior glass.

I would hang a tea towel over the screen back and front. The temp of the metal can go higher than the car air temp if in direct line of the sun. Or move position of the car.

Not sure of the internal temperature, but my shiny chrome door handles are basically untouchable...

Found a use for the car cover today. It did a great job of keeping the cabin temperature below 45 without AC. Before using the cover the temperature had gone over 50.

 

[Dilly]

It’s been in the garage all day
high of 26°C

 

[Keithgrif]

66C. Turned on climate before needing to use it and it stalled at 25 ( setpoint 19C). Parked South facing on the drive.

Any recommendations on sun screens? Thinking the normal way of putting them on the outside may be harder to anchor with the frameless doors.

One thing to note is that cabin overheat protection is disabled if you put the windows on vent. You need to keep the windows closed for it to work.

 

[Liquidv]

67c

I’m a bit confused by such crazy cabin temps. Surely cabin overheat is set at 40 for a reason? I’ve overheat ac switched on and it kicks in over 40. Why aren’t people bothering to use it? For a few % of battery why not use it ?
