I got my 2004 Murano just a few weeks ago and last night whilst adjusting the climate control I noticed the degC/deg F conversion didn't seem correct. As I am in the temperature measurement business I went ahead and checked the whole range. It seems the programming folks didn't realize that temperature conversion is not linear.

If anyone else can replicate these results please post info.

Also great conversion tool can be found here http://www.super-kids.com/metric_converter.htm

centigrade = (fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9
fahrenheit = centigrade * 9/5 + 32

I know I am a sad muppet, but being from Europe originally it just niggles me that they did it wrong. 20 deg C is in the comfort zone and its 3 degrees out.
