Default Outside temperature?

My car is a 92. I'm replacing the upper radiator support because the previous owner cut it up when they replaced the radiator. The new/ used one I got came with a sensor mine doesn't have and my research has me believe its an outside temp sensor. My car apparently didn't come with one? Where is the outside temp displayed? My car has the connector for it.

That's used by the C68 (digital) HVAC system. It shows the outside air temperature on the display.

So since I have just the push button HVAC one, I won't see anything and there's no point to installing it? Can I get the C68 one and plug-n-play? I Googled it and that would be a cool upgrade.

If your HVAC control head has a lever that moves back and forth to control the temperature then you have the C60 manual HVAC system.

Yes I do have the manual C60 unit.

Is the wiring in the car for me to drop in a C68?

No - it's a much more complex system. You have C60 - enjoy it!
