Can someone confirm for me if there is a spot for a temp sensor on 2013+ tow mirror? I got an aftermarket one works fine after swap.. been a couple of years but I'm noticing the temp reading in the car is way higher than outside temp (119f when it's a brisk 70f outside) I still have my original non tows and knows they have the sensor and see the spot for them but wanted to validate that the oem tow mirrors has it too?

I have standard mirrors on my 2017 Tradesman. My outside temp reading isn't accurate either...5-10degC higher usually. Maybe just poor design?

If the mirror is in the sun it will read much higher until you drive the vehicle for a while.
