Sensor On front bottom grill?

[polo_spec_d]

Was looking at pulling out the front grills yesturday and noticed a small sensor attached to the bottom front left or right (depends what way you are looking at the car) grill.

Does anyone know what this is for???

Thanks,

Is that monitoring it for the benefit of the engine or another unit?

For fun, shows you the temperature of the outside world so you feel better about your air con

Ah ok, So its set up for the cars with MFD them im guessing? Cause I dont have one

Well, depends what it is actually for, but the outside temp shows on that. Whether that sensor is for the outside temp... that's a different qn (the original one)

Diesel drivers don't care what temperature it is or how much fuel it uses. Apparently.
