Omega outside temperature
« on: 11 January 2009, 16:21:49 »
Have just noticed outside temperature is reading between 56 deg centigrade, and 67 deg centigrade.

Hmmm......with ice all over the car, not sure this is a totally accurate reading.......Any ideas what the problem may be chaps? :y :y :y

I tested my mv6 one a few years ago against a digi thermonmeter, and it was the same.  Whether that was luck, or if the digi one was equally inaccurate, who knows!
