While driving I will periodically hear a ding.  Any one know what it could be?

Does your OBC show that the outside temperature is -22F?

it is either -22 F or +122 F  It never is in between them.  I am taking the OBC out next week though to put in my temp gauge.

I think what John is getting at is that the ding is telling you to watch for ice, which would surely be on the road at  -22F.  So be careful out there.

I've got a dark blue 1999 with the tan leather and a 2001 LS in silver. Not sure why I have two, esp. since one is on the left coast right now... but yeah, clubroadster has a much better forum that miata.net...

Right - the ding is the 'below freezing' warning from the OBC. Kinda annoying, but at least yours works!  Well, maybe not the temp sensor, but...  :)
