My van displays only the compass. If I am reading all of the responses correctly, if I buy the temp sensor it will not work without a reflash which most likely a dealer will not do?

You may have the sensor. The reflash, that the dealer won't do would make it show on the DIC. But an OBD2 Bluetooth device with the Torque app will do the job.
BTW, I was wrong. The PID I have IS "Air Temp". I don't know why I thought it was Ambient Temp.

I got the new sensor. This is what I'm getting. I selected outside temp from the GM pid. I don't know if it's supposed to be blank.
Finally got the image to upload.

Hi, the way I get pictures from my android phone to my laptop is to email them from my phone to my laptop email address, then I can grab them and put in the forum.

I was hoping the OBD Bluetooth device would show everything I wanted. But because I'm a cheap b@%tard, I got one with a lesser version software. When (if?) I win the lottery, I'll step up. But for now, I'll settle for what I have. Torque does have the PIDs I want, like TPMS (pressure AND temperature!), and a dial compass (easier to read). Until then.....
