Has anybody else had the outside temperature flash off/on..Then resume a steady readout? If so, do you know why it does this?

At first I thought it was just when it was changing the readout..like changing from 40 to 39..but that doesn't seem to be the case

I didn't look at the manual, but it might be an indication of icy conditions where it cannot get a clear readout of the temp?

RobNorm

On UK models the temp flashes when it reaches 3C (37F) to indicate possible icy conditions

Mine does it too at 37 degrees. it blinks a few times then is off then come back on. I noticed this manyly on my way to work.

it only blinks at 37F for a minute or so.....reminder of possible black ice.

why can't they make it have a visable a warning:

"Possible freezing road conditions"

Mine did that between 28-34 degrees when I was driving through the Carolinas.

Absolutely warns the driver of icy conditions, the first generation IS 300's did this in January when the temps dropped.

It does it bacause the corrected ambiant temp not. the wind chill will make it feel colder so it warns of a freeze.

mine blinks at 32 degrees or lower

A trip to page 110 of the owner's manual answers this question:

not really, what the hell does flashing do for ya?
on Audi's, a cool snowflake pops up next to the temp....simple and effective.
