Thanks for the reply, I can't figure it out either.. Sometimes i think it might be due to the outside temperature or like you mention, the way of shutting off the engine and leaving vehicle in "on" mode and then starting the car again. There was only one single time which i felt the wheel was actually the temperature that I wanted at. Never got that temperature again lol.

BTW Merry Christmas everyone!!
