Details: Sensor over reads when it is sunny outside. I had 23c on it today - it wasn't even that warm in Madrid. Mirror allegedly replaced - still over reading.

And there's more wrong with it. But I am losing the will to live with going back and forth to FIAT dealerships and arguing with them now.
