outside temp/odometer

OK, this is driving me crazy. If you want the outside temp to display, can you not have the odometer displaying as well? If I want the outside temp displayed, above it is either trip A or trip B. Is this the way it is or am I just having a permanent blonde moment and can't figure it out???? I could care less about the trip mileage.

You can't have both. Our '03 Accord is the same way. Not sure why Honda has decided to go that route with its newer instrument panels. I never know how many miles are on either of our cars.

there is no way to get this done... since I'm normally looking at the distance since last fill up (Trip A), i never know how many miles on the car overall.

Or you could just hit the Info button again to bring it back up...
I mean do people really spend all their time watching the odo compulsively? I just look at it each fill up.

Thanks for the responses! I guess I have just gotten used to previous cars that I have had show the outside temp and the odo at the same time. But change is good... especially since I changed from American cars to a TSX!

I only look at the odo when I have to take the car in for servicing (to answer the question "how many miles?"). other than that, I really don't care.

However, it is more of a minor frustration that you should be able to see that, if you so chose...

Is this something they changed for 2006? My 2005 shows all three at the same time.

Right - it changed in MY2006 with the addition of the MID.

Sort of blurry, but see below (yes pointless pic)
