Temperature Gauge..

HI there

Anyone had their ambient temperature display on their dash stop working?

Yesterday, when I turned on the car, it no longer displayed the outside temperature on the dash, beside the air flow indicator.

Anyone have this happen? Just a fuse, or is it a whole new part?

Thanks

Hmm, not that I know of, where is the button?

Don't tell me I've had the car for 3 years and not known about that.

Wow.

It's at the top right of the head unit. Right next to "Disp".

Yeah, I noticed by accident that you can turn off a lot of that display and had to figure out how to turn it back on. Didn't read the manual thoroughly ... did I say that out loud?

yeah, took me a few months to find the 'handle' on the trunk lid. Haven't had finger prints on my trunk for almost 2 years now.

Don't forget how long it takes to figure out that there are three compartments and two power outlets in the center console.

You should title this thread "Ambient Temp Display" or "Temperature Display". I thought it was gonna be about the engine temp gauge. No big deal, obviously, though for some reason I HATE extra clicks when I'm online. Don't know why.
