Ambient temperature sensor

[wechsler22]

My 23 sp consistently shows the outside temperature about 5 or 6 degrees higher than it actually is. Doesn't matter if the car is cold, or sitting in the shade, it's still off. Anyone know where the sensor is and how easy it is to replace?

In the driver's side view mirror assembly, and not easy at all. I don't even think they sell the part separately from the entire mirror assembly.

If I get a dealer to do it under warranty do they need to remove the door panel? Not in love with that as I don't want to introduce any creaks which will inevitably happen.

How are you measuring what the temperature actually is?

Just my opinion here but I would think that a sensor right next to you would more accurately display what the correct temperature is right next to you than an app that shows the temp from a sensor much further away.
