Outside Air Temp Gauge?
Hey guys,
I just picked up an 07 Mustang GT and i cant figure out how to get it to display the outside air temp for the live of me.... PLEASE OH PLEASE tell me ford didnt make a booboo and not include that in this car. How is that possible? Its so basic..
Sorry if im being stupid but any ideas?
thanks,
Nick

it doesn't exist sorry man. if you got the rear view mirror upgrade it'll be a gentax with compass and auto-dim only, either way you could upgrade pretty easily to a similar mirror from gentax with a temp for around $180-190. check ebay or this link:

lol i hear ya man. i traded in a '05 grand cherokee for my stang and the top 3 things i miss: temp/compass readout, memory seat positions, and steering wheel stereo controls.
...but hey, this isn't a luxory vehicle so i'm ok with it, and i can 100% assure you if i traded my stang back for the SUV there'd be a hell of alot more i'd miss!

Luckily there are electric windows. Roll one of them down, stick hand SLIGHTLY out window. You'll get a good idea of the temp.

Yeah, because you can't properly operate a motor vehicle w/o knowing the exact exterior temp..........................[:@]

OR! you can just add another chrome covered 4" meter to the hood right next to the wheel speed, interior decibel level, UV light meter, sterring wheel angle and passenger count gauges...

I relate to the guy - - I like knowing what the outside temp is. NO.. there is no Temp guage on the car from the factory. I had my dealership install a Homelink/Auto Dim mirror with Temp/Compass.
NOW I know what the temp is out side!

RE: Outside Air Temp Gauge?
Ok thanks guys... Yea i know it isnt necessary but its a nice thing to have i think. And it just shocked me that ford wouldnt put that on a car since it has everything else.. (The whole message center, compus, autodim mirror, ect.)
