Question on Boxster Front Bumper Temperature Sensor

Wayne, the temp-sensor you spoke about, is this for the temperature reading on the dash, or is this a sensor for some other aspect of the drivetrain?

Reason I ask is, I plan on installing DRLs in front of it and didnt want to cause any misreads by some crucial aspect of the "system".

Thanks for your work, your book is flat-out invaluable.

This front temp sensor is used for the climate control system to figure out what the ambient air temperature is outside. If removed or disabled, it will affect the heating and cooling system for the passenger cabin but should not affect engine performance.
