Outside Temp display
Yesterday I reset the MPG on the odometer and today I notice the outside temp disp only show the two dashes - - and no numbers. Did I messed something up? I read the manual but can not find anything about outside temp display ??

Are you getting the same 2 dashes on the dash and AC control? My temp reading has always been off from what's really going on outside on the high side. It's usually 5-10 degrees higher on the display but last year when we got to 97 here, I got 2 dashes but came back after about 10 min. of driving. I see you're in Texas. How hot is it there now?

Last week was really hot over 104 degrees for 3-4 days but we are getting a little bit of break this week only around 92 degrees this week so far.

I note you have a a Panamera on the way. I am very interested in your impression of this vehicle. I have driven LS for a while now and this last model has given me some problems. I still think Lexus is great but Porsche has got my interest. They are obviously different types of cars but the Panamera comes in an AWD version (which I like here in the Northwest), it has enough room for two sets of clubs, and Porsche has a great quality reputation.

It probably burned up from the Texas sun. Mine read 108 in San Antonio last Saturday, but is still working fine.

I called dealer and they said that I need to bring it in and they will show me how to get it back, I guess he means there is a way to play with the buttons on steering wheel will get the reading back.

This morning I decided to check out the temp sensor which is located right inside the bottom left grill of front bumper and the thing was kinda loose, pop it back in and outside temp display came back to life...
