[Shotimes] EATC buttons

[Chris "Zap"]

I agree completely!  I would love to be able to have the outside temp
defaulted to display instead.  Better yet, the Gen III Taurus EATC allows
you to pick outside or inside setting and the button that does that is
"sticky" so that whatever you pick stays until you change it (or maybe shut
off the car.. haven't played around with it that much, but my dad has a '98
Taurus with it).  There might possibly be a way to do it, but you would
probably need a schematic and maybe even one of the Gen III unit to comare
how it works.  I wonder if a click-on/click-off switch would work instead of
the only on when held switch that currently occupies the button. *shrug*  If
anyone figures this out I would love to know how to do it!  ..  (and I'm an
EE student, heh).
