In one of those other threads, it mentions about the ambient temperature in the car, so in theory, as long as the door remains open and the engine isn't running, then there will be no build up of ambient temperature, and the display won't be affected. I don't like much heat in the car (temp set at 18-19 and window opened if necessary), but there's still enough of a buildup to affect mine.
