Outside temperature sensor

How accurate is the temp sensor outside the LR?

IMO, it's not entirely accurate.

I'd say mine are as accurate as my phone!

It seems to be reasonable w/o wind chill as it is behind a shield. A degree or two is no big deal but when it is reading 98 or 102 in the summer I wonder. Sure feels like it though. Perhaps it takes into account the temp of the asphalt I am going over.

More accurate than the mpg calculation.

I have seen some disparity between the odometer and the 'i' button for the same distance traveled. I do not rely on the MPG reading. Try to fill up when t gets to 1/2 on the gas tank meter. I always carry 10 gallons in reserve, ya never know.

So I am going to rely on the temp gage to be reasonably close. Thanks
