[s-cars] Interior temp sensor source

At least on my '94, there is what is clearly a thermistor
mounted behind the little grille in the sunroof control panel.  

Tony, since I happen to have a sunroof control panel sitting on my desk
here, FYI it is a NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor, and
measures approximately 3500 ohms at room temperature.  You very likely
could replace this with a standard thermistor costing pennies, once the
thermistor parameters are known.  If you want to go this route I can dig 
up a thermometer and measure a few points on the resistance vs. 
temperature curve for you.  

I think the microphone is in the A-pillar, but haven't yet needed to
take that part of the car apart...
