Does outside air temperature sensor exist?
I have a 2016 XLT with the 302a package and the tow package. My display will show me the temperature of my transmission, but not the outside air temperature. I'm assuming that the outside air temperature sensor does not exist, but I thought I'd post here to ask if it does. Maybe I have overlooked something.
My old car had the outside temperature reading and I used it as my default display. It came in handy during winter. There is a big difference in driving when the temperature is a couple of degrees below freezing compared to a couple of degrees above.

Wow, I feel like an idiot. It was staring me in the face the whole time. I went through all kinds of screens and settings looking for it. I also searched the owners manual. For some reason I never noticed the little temperature reading next to the digital clock at the top of the center screen. Thanks.

Oh my friend.....did you not know you could add your own wallpaper to the MFT screen?!? I would give you the link, but I can't get it while on my phone. Just search MFT wallpaper and you'll have all the info you need.
