Has anyone used OBD for colder AC?

Hey guys. I was browsing YouTube and says a video of a guy with a SnapOn obd scanner/tablet thing. He said Toyota, by default, turn the AC temp to Off, on a setting for colder AC.
Guys shows that you can the ac vent in the lower 40°s.
Can that setting be done cheaper, via Torque app?
I don't have a OBD dongle, scanner or anything like that. I would like to do it cheapest possible

Hmm interesting

 

He didn't change anything with the scanner.
He was using it to see when the compressor was on.
The resistor was added to lower the compressor switch off temp.

 

I thought he did it with the one and the relay thing..
Still interesting, if that says off, wouldn't it be able to be turned on?

 

Think he was just watching it cycle on and off.
making sure temp at vents was changing, and not reading to low.

 

The scanner is indicating if the compressor is running (ON)
or not running (OFF)

 

Oh shit, I get it now

 

I’m gonna try this

 

Let us know how it works...

 

I need this. Someone provide a link for the proper resistor asap .

Is this really an issue for people? In my 15' i am always freezing if i leave it on max and usually have it on 1 or 2.

 

Move to Arizona....even at max you won't be freezing anymore....

 

No thanks... im cool with the 90's here no need for 100+

 

Indeed. The Tacoma ac system is the weakest of any vehicle I've owned. the issue IMO is that even on HIGH, the blower is WEAK. But a mediocre AC is better than no AC.

 

Try owning a 2019 subaru forester, at least 10x worse than tacoma. Tacoma has the best AC of any car ive owned to this point.

 

Haha, I've never rode in a Forester of any kind. I have a 2012 WRX though and the AC is a little bit better than the Tacoma. Thought they both have the issue of getting warmer at long idle, the Subaru blower is at least very good.

 

My subaru is loud as can be and takes for ever in both summer and winter to get cold and hot. I was super disappointed but the wife doesnt seem to mind.

 

@Bebop , are you still on a quest for colder AC??

This seems to be the least intrusive and costly way to date...
