Installed the optional outside digital temperature gauge today into my 945T. The sensor went under the left front bumper area and the gauge went on the instrument cluster. Works great and properly registered the actual temperature when key was turned on.
However, it seems to be picking up engine heat under the bumper, as the temperature rose significantly after running the engine.
I only zip-tied the outside sensor to the horn wiring harness where it was placed by the factory.

QUESTION: Where does the sensor actually attach under the bumper area to avoid this false engine heat and give true ambient temperature all the time?
