Does anyone know where the outside temperature sensor is located? I mean the one that reads out in the dashboard. My OBD reads ambient temperature from the sensor behind the bumper, which is never the same as the readout on the dash. The dash temperature is the correct outside temp, but of course the bumper sensor is always a bit warmer.
 
As did I, but having checked i found that the sensor behind the bumper corresponds to the "ambient temperature sensor" pid. The bumper sensor is always warmer than the true ambient temp as you would expect, and the outside temperature display on the dash is correct, checked against bbc weather. So either there are 2 sensors, or the dis had a modem and a connection to bbc weather service hehe
