    I just got my car back from the body shop :( and they forgot to install the outside air temp. sensor.
    Every thing seems to work fine, except no outside temp is displayed. I looked and can see the plug hanging there but no sensor to plug it into. I know they will replace it next week , but in the mean time, will not having it affect anything if I drive it? Thanks for any input

    The HVAC may not work properly in the auto mode. You may have to keep it set manually
