Below Zero?

First off let me start by saying that cold ain't even the word for the Northeast right now. A couple of weeks ago it was so cold I could not even use my Navi because it could not recognize the heat from my finger tips. Does anyone know if the temp gauge will display below zero temps? The thing that made me wonder this was seeing my gauge read SIX when I left for work this morning. Any???

When I left work the other day, the temp was reading 2. As I drove, it went down to 1, then 0 and finally -1. The readout will show it.

Damn, that is cooold...we have been having like 30 lows and 50 hihgs here in Utah for the past few weeks, its really the mildest winter since I can remember. It's a nice break, since its usually near the low 20' to low teens around this time of year.

Yowzah! That's cold! Hey, shouldn't you be able to use your navi's joystick when your fingers aren't working?

Gotta go... the pool is calling my name.

Bignard,
I feal your pain! We haven't seen above freeze temps for almost 3 weeks now. I'm curious..........why did'nt your navi touchscreen work again? It's not heat sensitive, so maybe it was something else, just wondering.

BTW, check this out:

how the touchscreen works.

Hey Iggy, thanks for the info but I have had this car for a over a year and it only did this on one extremely cold morning. Another reason I felt it was somewhat heat sensitive is because I have even cleaned it with a cloth while it was on and put my finger directly behind the cloth onto the screen and it did not respond. Ah, I don't know. I just hope it doesn't happen again.
