Outdoor temp sensor?

Anyone know where the sensor, or sensors, are for the outdoor temperature? Just wondering how they do it. If it's mounted under the car it will pick up heat from the pavement. If it's between the body and the interior it would absorb heat from the body. Especially on my black car. Not very important, but I was thinking about it the other day.Andy

In front of the radiator next to the horn.

Open the hood and look straight down in front of the radiator as JohnC said. You'll see two wires going down. That's for the sensor.

Very accurate too, when the car is moving.
