Glad you have a sense of humor......

 

I couldn't get through life without laughing...mainly at myself!!

 

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this. But I have had (and still have) other cars that have outside temp gages that appear to be more accurate than the one in the HHR. Besides ... Why does it appear that the majority of the complaints about the gage is high readings?

 

Mine seems correct. Every time I drive past a bank, mall, or so forth with a time/temp. display on their sign the display on my DIC pretty much always matches. At most is 1 degree different than the sign but I've only seen that once or twice. That's accurate enough for me.

 

Maybe one of the Mods. could sticky the original post to the top. Come summer this will be discussed over and over.

 

Thanks for the info! That would of been my next question!

 

it was 55 deg today and i was in the hhr. only i had a few quick trips to the stores, car wash ect, only i didn't drive it for over 5 min at a time over 18 mph so it read 34 deg out the whole time.

 

With everyone already knowing what the temp is before getting into their HHR, why does it matter what the DIC says? If you don't like the rectal idea, you could always mount a indoor/outdoor therm.

 

OK, it is 85F outside and my dic temp says 58F. i washed Blackie about 9.30 this morning and he's been in the sun all day.

So I went out about 2.30 and drove in stop and go traffic for about 10 miles round trip, about 25-35 mph and it stayed at 58F. So from what I am reading, I needed to have continuous driving, with no stops at over 20 mph for it to change??!!

I'm wondering if I should be concerned as this is the FIRST issue with Blackie in my 6 months of having him.

 

Sounds like Blackie had a dyslexic moment.
