Oh, and when adjusting stuff, how do you press the "Hot" button when the Stagea has a dial instead?  Do you just turn it up to a warmer temp?

Yeh, i just set mine ti 32 degrees if i want it mega hot to warm me up, otherwise, once im warm, just put it back to whatver i want..

Hey, isn't there a button you can press so that it displays outside temperature?

I bloody hope so, id love that feature!

Sorry guys, I should have been more specific here - what I meant was "When adjusting the temperature in CALIBRATION MODE, how do I adjust the temp when the R-33 has a "Hot" button to increase temps, but the C-34 has a "Dial" to adjust it?"

I'm downloading the Manuals as per bwilkeson's link, hopefully it'll be answered in that.

It'd also be good if someone (hopefully) can offer a link to the Stagea manuals...

Thanks in advance,

On my Series II when I press in the temperature knob a temperature is displayed but not sure what it actually is.

Next to the number there is Japanese writing that I can't read

I'm pretty sure that it is the current internal temperature..

I tried that in my series 1 when looking for the outside temp reading, but you can't actually press the temp dial.

And I've skimmed the R-33 service manual and found nothing on calibrating the air-con so it actually heats or cools to the desired temperatures...

Any ideas, people?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
