Outside Temperature Display?

2018 XLT with XLT Premium package and Sync 3 but no nav. I can't find an outside temp display. It is listed on the sticker. What am I missing?

On my xlt premium it is on the top of the center display, I do have the nav option though.

Thanks guys, found it. I must have overlooked it while driving. When I was trying to get everything all figured out I didn't have the ignition on and it only displays with the ignition on.

That temp sensor is crap anyways. It takes forever to update, sometimes its 80F out and it says its 50F, Ive seen it say it was 143F....I'm guessing its software related, but its hardly ever accurate and takes forever to update.

Compared to other vehicles I've owned, mine is reasonably accurate.

Could you possibly have a bad sensor? I would have not considered it either but in my old Chevy the ambient air temp sensor started reading some crazy high temps. $10 part and was plug and play. After the change it was back to normal readings.
That said I haven't noticed any readings that were off in my 2018 but I'm sure I don't see the temp variations that some do so that could be a contributor.

Could be, its pretty close about 75% of the time. I really dont care to be honest. I always have Android Auto running and the temp there is always spot on. I forget the truck has a sensor most of the time.
