Unless I somehow missed it myself, I don't have it in my 06.

Nope there isn't. You will have to tape a thermometer to your windshield.

The car uses the maf temp and infers ambient. Ambient is reported as 2 degrees less than maf temp unless the ac is on, then it's 3 degrees less. Ambient can only be updated if the coolant temp is 170 and the car is moving at least 40 mph.

If you have a blow through supercharger setup the inferred deltas should be changed by the tuner.

Don't forget that you have to change the temp gauge fluid every 5,000 miles to maintain accurate readings as well.

I wasn't making that up. At least I thought it was interesting.

yes i did see that, but i am referring to an outside temperature gauge ... like one that tells you its 98 degrees, or -5 degrees.. .. just plain ol'air temp.

My '10 has it displayed in the radio display, did the pre 10s not have this ? The sensor is also in front of the AC condenser in front lower grill.

Pretty sure it's the 2010+ mustang. Don't think the previous cars had it.

you don't have one. the 2010+ shows it in the radio display and the sensor is behind the grille

Correct

This needs to be moved to TECH ASAP

 

[TGR96]

Give the new guy a break. At least he didn't post it in tech!

You know, if you have a nav system, you can drive 'round and 'round in circles and make the compass spin!
