2004 Ford Explorer XLS sport compass/ temperature display help

[jbwilson3791]

I recently purchased a 2004 Ford Explorer XLS with very low miles and everything is in near perfect condition. My only trouble is that the outside temperature and direction aren't showing in the control panel. I guess I'm not even positive that it is supposed to show up, but when I put the car in auxiliary mode you can see where that info is supposed to be lights up and then goes away when the car is started. Any ideas? Do some models not have this option? Or is it broken?
