So I just bought A 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5s. Now I knew when I bought it the little trip screen only shows my Trip A&B and my odometer. But I know on the higher models it shows you mpg, distance until empty, and outside temperature. When you look closely at the screen, you can see marks i guess where…

I’d take a look at your owners manual. Most of the time you just have to flip to another page is all. There should be a button to push to show a different display.

The owners manual says my trim isint equipped with the other info but it’s not like I don’t have the screen or anything to switch to it, it’s just cycle between a Trip A and Trip B instead of the Trips then mpg, dte, temp, then back to the trips.

There are 7 different instrument cluster part numbers shown, the notable difference being “With convenience package” or “Without convenience package”. The clusters may use a common LCD display but it seems that the clusters are different.

I dunno. I guess if you don’t have it, you don’t have it. Seems strange that they wouldn’t include it and zippo extra cost. Do you have the trip button on the steering wheel? http://www.manualslib.com/manual/232038/Nissan-2003-Altima.html?page=52#manual

You can get an app on your Android smart phone that does the trip computer function when combined with an OBD2 code reader that plugs into the diagnostic port. That is assuming you can’t get this to work. The app is called Torque, both a free and $5 version and the OBD2 reader cost me $10 from Amaz…

The OP’s situation could be similar to what a purchaser of a 2015 Dodge Ram truck encountered, regarding optional equipment. It is possible that the dealership can activate the desired features for a fee: [image] Bamboozled: Alarming charge? Driver charged to activate alarm on brand new.…

Where’s The Ambient Temperature Sensor On These Cars? It Must Be Up In The Nose Somewhere, Away From Engine And Cabin Temperatures. I’d see if a sensor was installed or just a wiring pigtail. Be careful, the airbag sensor lives up front too! Don’t go messing with that! CSA

Another idea, your version lacks the required sensors for those functions. My Corolla has blank spots on the dash for gauges for which there is no sensor, presumably something like oil pressure could appear there on another version. Likewise on some versions you could pop the trunk from inside t…

George you know what I didn’t even think of that. I thought because the trip monitor has the area it can do it. But that makes sense because the Altima as like ABS Traction Control, and a Slip light but that car doesn’t have ABS or traction control. Think I might try that obd2 torque app or might b…
