Learned something about the outside temperature display in my 2K2
It won't display temperatures below -30C!
I was out at the movies a couple of nights ago and as I was going home I noticed that the temperature display just read ---. I thought that maybe it just wasn't registering for some reason. Then yesterday morning when I headed out to go to work (car is parked in garage) the temp. display read -18C. As I took the car outside and headed to work I watched the temperature start to fall. -20....-22....-25......-29......., and then from -29 it went to the --- display again. The actual outside temperature (heard it on the radio) was -39C.
I guess maybe Nissan didn't expect anybody to drive the Max in such horrible temperatures!

Man, that is cold where you live!! Where do u reside? I'm glad to hear your Max is having no problems with the very cold weather...by the way, in that ultra cold weather, are u experiencing many squeaking/rattling problems from the dash?

so it's about -39 F, too, or another way to say it - "it's insta-snot-freeze weather"

DUDE, how do you live in such climate man? HOLY CRAP!. I'm getting the chills just reading that number! You gotta hate it. It's going to be 9F tonight here, so i'm guessing it'll be spring-like for you. My God. You got one of those wall plugs sticking out of the engine bay so you can plug it in at night for the block heater? Dang! That's hardcore. I'd hate it just because you can't see a single good looking babe from Fall to spring. They're all wearing eskimo clothes.

It's not usually quite this cold. This time of year the average is about -15C (5F) during the day and about -25C (-13F) at night. The block heater cord is usually hanging out the front of most cars around here from about November to April. The other bad thing about this time of year is that we only get daylight for about 6-7 hours per day. It's nice in the summer though......you can golf until midnight!

To see metric, switch your trip computer to display the temp., and then press and hold the "Mode" button, and it will toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

I always use it to gauge how much ice there may be on the road--I'm in Boston, so it's been MAD cold here lately.

NH here... and like BigFly_2K2SE said, all hail heated seats and the steering wheel.

Yeh, it's neat. And the other good thing about it is that it's actually ACCURATE, unlike the MPG indicator. I sometimes drive by those clock/temp towers (a lot of banks have those), and they always display a temp +/- 1 deg. F from what's showing on my display.

I have a quick unrelated question......what tire/wheel setup are you running in those conditions? Snows? Stock?

Anyone have the circuit diagram for the heated seats so we can rig it up to have like 5 settings like the Passats? I want my butt roasting!

By the way, does the driver's side warm up the lower back portion of the seat, or just the butt?
Also, we should have a 2002/3 Max meet in Boston somewhere!

If we do hold a meet, lets hold one in an empty parking lot when its snowing.

I think you will find there are a lot of people on the 'org who live around Boston
And as for the temperatures around here...I think Canada anexed New England... Remote starter was such a great investment this winter!!!

hey, did it read like this: "---"
This happened to me but it was because it was too hot. This was in August in Death Valley, CA. No, I didn't bring my car there but we rented another 2k2 Maxima there (my choice ). I think it doesnt register after 135*F because I read 134 but never read 135. Here's one pic:

The place I had it done sells it for $210 installed, but I had to pay another $40 because of the engine immobilizer, and another $50 to get the remote programmed to replace the factory remote. I love it in the mornings, but I can't start my car remotely for the ride home...that is where the heated seats/steering wheel come in handy.

I really hope I didn't get this mixed up, but when I initially posted, I could've sworn I tried it before and it worked.
Can someone verify? It's too cold to go outside
