Unhappy Outside Temperature readings?
Is there a way to calibrate the outside temp reader/thermometer? Because my temp reads about three degrees off (warmer) during summer and maybe a couple degrees off in winter.

I don't think you can recalibrate it. The temp sensor is located in the drivers side brake duct. So you can try moving it higher up off the ground and maybe that will make it a little more accurate.

With the sensor being so close to the ground, you might be getting a higher reading from hot blacktop. I wouldn't worry about it.
