I had this problem of the outside temperature reading a couple of degree's off. When I took the car into the dealer for the first oil change I mentioned it to the service manager. They hooked-up the car's computer to check the gauge. They told me they did not find anything wrong. However, since that time my temperature has read correctly. Seems like just resetting the car's computer fixed the problem.
Hope this helps...

In the stickes at the top of the page under Mega threads under tips and tricks you will find "things you don't know about your c6"..............
17) Pressing and holding the Fan Speed button, the Windshield Defrost button, and the Rear Window Defogger button at the same time resets the outside temperature display.

Forum member figured we would know what he's talking about when he needed a new sensor for that outside temperature.

I have 3 cars with outside temp sensors. None of them are accurate. All they give you an approximate estimate, I wouldn't count on them for accuracy.
I get a different temp from radio news, different from TV news, weather channel and my phone all have something different.
Just another useless feature, I ignore it.
