Why does Honda insist on not putting an outside temp gauge, at least in the EX trim, I think this is true with the Accord too. The name Crosstour insinuates a more active lifestyle, in which outside temp plays a big role, especially in the mid-west where we get just a few of 'em good days.

Most Toyotas and Nissans have this in their base trim if I am not wrong.
Honda is too frugal in the instrumentation department when it comes to the baser trims, although it did seem to splurge on the CR-V LX.
Just a rant from a Honda loyalist.

Hey man,

I completely agree with you. I don't see why they wouldn't include that. It's one thing to try and differentiate between trim levels and its another thing to be cheap lol... I believe that even the base CR-V brings that little LCD monitor...

Am I missing something? My EX-L has one, but it's weirdly located in the odometer display.

Yes, that's the one I am referring to, not the best place, but it's something. It's missing on the EX (at least the I4, not sure about the V6)

There's a temp on my nav screen???? I have an EX-L w/ navi ... I only see it on my odd-meter. I must be oblivious.

Sorry I edited, I figured it would be on the navi, I thought I saw one on the demo crosstour I drove. But it must have been the crv, I test drove the same day.

For a moment there ... I thought I was oblivious.

That's ok, I'm demented. Had to go out to the vehicle and check both places.

my 2010 ex coupe does nt have outside temp my 2012 crosstour EX-L does makes no sense not to have it in all models cant be that much to throw in

Come to think of it, I owned an Impala many years ago, and my (base) trim level did not have a temp gauge but the higher models did.

Incidently, all the wiring was still in place, so a quick trip to eBay for the sensor and the display solved my problem.

Unfortunately no such luck here, I believe there used to be a kit (wiring, sensor, harness and control unit) available up until the 07 Accord model, if someone is brave enough to attempt this in their CT EX.

My 2010 Crosstour has outside temp in the Odometer.
