Default 01 C5 Z06 Climate Controls

Car has 50K miles on it, but the EXT temp seems to be incorrect. Is this a known issue? Are there any aftermarket replacements for the stock AC/climate control panel?

usually when it goes bad, it reads 65 deg all the time. the sensor is next to the radiator on the passenger side down low and it's easy to replace.
