Outside Temp gauge stuck
Anyone having there outside temp gauge get stuck for awhile, mine usually gets stuck at like 71 for the first 5-15 minutes of driving then it will start to adjust slowly, not sure if there is something wrong or it’s just programmed weird

I've had this happen occasionally with every car. It usually clears the next time I start the car. If it doesn't, bring it up the next time you're at the dealer. Personally, I wouldn't bring it in for just this.

The outside air temperature indicator has several internal modes that it selects depending on conditions. Some light reading is attached for your enjoyment.

Not sure if you still have your Acura with the temperature problems, but it is easily fixed by replacing your ambient temperature sensor. This is a $20 part that is located directly behind the bumper and in front of the radiator. It's as big as a lighter, and as easy to replace as looking up under your bumper, unplugging the old one, and plugging in the new one. And just like that you will see your temperature correctly displayed in your car and your new sensor will allow the right amount of AC to pass through the cabin. There is a good YT video on replacing it, I did it in an RDX and saved hundreds from what a dealership would have charged:
