Hey all,

I just had a sound system put in the car yesterday and I noticed that the display where it reads your MPG, Digital MPH, etc, that the outside temperature is displaying "----" and it says ICY in the corner. Could have the technician forgotten to plug that piece in or do I need a reset? Everything else works fine it's just that I don't have my outside temp reading and that it is icy cold outside!

My car specs if it may help:

2007 350z Base Model

Best,
Justin

The only thing I could find was someone saying they disconnected their battery and it reset. There isn't a plug for that specific sensor where the radio goes as far as I can tell. The sensor is located in the front of the vehicle. There is always a possibility the tech cut the wrong wire, though.

That's the negative terminal only and you're suppose to do that overnight just to make sure it gets the job done, right? I've been searching and that seems to be what people do.

Yeah, that is what I read. Granted - I didn't do too much searching, but that is a fix I read. I bet you can leave it undone for a couple hours and be just fine. No need to leave it over night.

10 minutes is all you need.

I usually can finish in 3-5, but I've been training.

I thought he prefers longer?
