Default outside air temperature reading

I can't locate the thermometer reading for out side air temp in the '02 that I just bought. The vehicle is not equipped with dual air.......does this feature only come with dual air? You would think that a $45K car would have a thermometer reading for out side air temp.......thanks

With manual a/c you have to stick your hand out the window to get the outside air temp.

He still doesn't have one. It's a manual a/c control car with no digital display.

No dual zone A/C, no outside temp reading or sensor.

Ah I see now. 2003 it became standard equipment, I didn't even know it was an option before. I have no idea what his control unit display even looks like.
