Default Outside Temp display?

I'm a new owner of an '06 GT Premium. I was surprised to see there was no outside temperature display in the various dash display options. Has anyone installed an aftermarket kit that provides this feature?

Thanks.

Most of us just install a new rearview mirror with that feature. Yep, Ford cost cutting sucks sometimes.

Sheesh. Thanks, Matt. Think I'll just listen to the radio weather report.

Welcome to the forums. I installed the gentex homelink mirror with temp, auto dimming, and compass. I love it. You can find several threads on here to help you. Of course a little bit more than just the "outside temp" you were looking for, but worth every penny. Found mine on ebay for about $225...

Thanks for the tip, Rusty. Will be moving my family from Syracuse, NY to Daytona Beach FL in a week or so, and may look into this issue once the dust settles.

yeh, I figured with that huge message center, there should be some sort of reading in there. Its no skin off their teeth for a stupid sensor.

Why bother then? All the temp will read is "nice" and "really nice" ![8D]
