Heater ques? and more

Just picked up an 04 RX8 GT. Great car, very quick and everyone seems to look at it. Couple questions.

When I was on my way to work this morning I needed to use the heater to get some fog off the front window. Problem is I didn't have any. It blows cold. Anyone else have this problem? Fix?

Also I noticed the ambient temperature display was off. When I was driving it went up way higher then the temp is outside? Is the outside temp related to the climate control? Anyone else experience this? Fix?

Thanks for the help.

I tried it on the way to work and home. Same thing. Cold air from the floor ducts.

Thanks abbid I will try that in the morning.

Does anyone know where the probe is for the outside temp? I read an old thread about it and looked for mine. It wasnt at the front drivers side near the rad? Where else should I look?
