I just purchased 2014 LR4 HSE I have noticed that the outdoor temperature display is off by about +5 F. Since it is winter I can not determine if it is a percentage or a flat amount. most of the time it would not matter too much to me, but when the temps are around freezing this makes a big difference.

Does anyone else have this issue or are yours pretty accurate?

It seems to be off whether the car has set outside for our or driven for miles at highway speed.

Does anyone know where the sensor is? Can they be recalibrated?

The sensor is mounted behind the front bumper, in the center.
There's no calibration required.

What are you using to determine the actual ambient temps?

Mine always seems accurate once I get driving and some airflow runs over it (Unless car has been sitting overnight)

When the vehicle sits overnight, I have several weather stations at the house to compare. On the highway, I can read 37°f but it can be snowing sticking freezing on the truck. Also, have had my wife behind me with one of our other rigs. I have driven the same roads for so many years you pretty much learn which roadside temperature signs are accurate and what ones are not.
Any other thought? Just a stickler for accuracy.
