Was the AC on? Could the nav have been showing the climate control temp?

...a lemon? ...because of a thermometer? Do what I do. If you're cold, turn the heat on. If you're hot turn the AC. It's pretty much an FU solution to mother nature.

The Nav screen temperature is the cabin temp..the computer on the left shows outside iirc.

Pretty sure that is what is going on. There was a thread on this were the OP got bashed..glad to see it not happening again.

Unhappy Temp gauge in my head was screwed up !!

My bad, I shouldn't have said that. it's not a lemon, I was cranky after a long day. Everything works, I was looking at the AC temperature, the only thing that was wrong was my head ! Should keep the trap shut some times, I love my car.
