Indoor/outdoor thermometer?
I have two other vehicles that have Indoor/outdoor thermometers and I sure miss having one in the Vette.
Has anyone added an Indoor/outdoor thermometer in their C5?
If so,
1. what kind/brand/cost/vendor?
2. where did you mount the readout unit?
3. where did you mount the interior and exterior sensors?

Man, you guys really have this newbie confused.
I have an '02, auto trans convertible. The H/AC dash panel has 3 ***** - one for fan control, one for temp control (blue to red), and one for air outlet position. I find nothing else that would show an outside or inside temperature readout.
So, it looks like digitaloutsider is correct, unless various options were available in regard to the H/AC unit controls on various models.
If you have a readout, please post a photo of it and tell us what year you have, transmission, and model (coupe, convertible, Z06) and if you know if it was an option.

Here's a photo of mine I took when it was really hot outside.
Whether you have this display or not depends on which AC/heat system you have - my 2000 A4 has the dual control for driver and passenger, yours doesn't.

Thanks mrlmd.
That makes more sense, So I assume there were options. At least one question was answered.
So, other than adding a salvage yard mirror with a thermometer, and going back to my original question - is there anyone that has added thermometer (see original post)?
