Outside Temperature Gauge

Got my 05 X recently bout a month or so and I notice lately my temperature gauge for outside temperature act slow...
I always park my car inside the garage and when I drive it out it ll take 5-10 minutes for temperature to adjust with current outside temperature
Is this normal cz shouldnt take that long right
I notice after 2 miles ride it only drop 2degree and still dropping
Have anyone ever have this problems, thanks for input

That's normal. If they made it change at a very fast rate it would bounce all over the place, especially when you are in stop and go traffic.

Is it supposed to be that slow tho??? kuz I had an '06 G n it was A LOT quicker, more real time temp than my now '05 G...and doesn't the climate control adjust the airflow and A/C to compensate with the outside temp?? kuz I also noticed that the climate cont temp is way off...for instance it states 90 degrees outside when it's really about 76 degrees and when I turn on the Auto A/C, it blows hella hard and cold as hell when set to 77 degrees...and in the '06 G 72 degrees barely made it blow strong and cold...but was on point and perfect temp....

What about the compass? Mine shows 3 dashes, it has stopped working. Not that I used it but I like all things to be working. Do I have to re-set something?

^ Here is the correction procedure as stated from the owner's manual:

Correction procedure

1. Push COMP switch for about 10 seconds. The direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn off electrical equipment such as lights, hazard indicator, air conditioner, etc. Then drive the vehicle slowly (less than 3 MPH (5 km/h)) and turn the vehicle one or more times in an open and safe area. When the
compass displays the direction, the procedure is completed.
