How many degree's high does your outside Temp gauge read?
Mine is almost 8 to10 degree's over.

That's too much. You can adjust 3 degrees plus or minus by using the MID, but any more than that has to be done by the dealer. Just let the service manager know the next time you take the car in. Mine is dead on (or at least close enough so I don't have to worry about it).

I wasn't able to adjust the outside temp gauge on my own but the dealership adjusted it for me and now it reads quite accurately. It was 3-4 degrees celcius off.
