The good news answer is, yes.
If you select the Dashboard module @ address hex17 and then select adaptation and then search for "outside_temperature" , you should see the following channels
- p_ice_warning_entry_temperature, which has a default value of 4 °C (i.e.39 °F)
- p_ice_warning_exit_temperature, which has a default value of 6 °C (i.e. 43 °F)
Not sure if you are familiar with the term 'hysteresis" (it's a method of dynamic-lag that is sometimes used in control systems), but this is how these two channels operate. The entry channel value is the threshold temperature at which the black-ice alarm will be set and the exit channel is the threshold temp. at which the alarm will clear (i.e. at the warmer temperature). If only one threshold temperature is used, the alarm would "hunt" (i.e. continuously turn ON/OFF) as the car traveled through different temperature zones. But with hysteresis control, the black-ice alarm remains more constant with changing ambient temperature.
So, if you are going to change the value in one of these channels, I suggest that you also change the other channel value so that there is ALWAYS 2°C difference -this maintains the size of the hysteresis differential.
OK, so now for the bad news answer!
To change the value in the 2 x adaptation channels above, you will need a security access code. This code was 20103 in early versions of the dashboard module, but I'm not aware that the code has been found for newer modules. Happy to be proven wrong

Before i get linked to this post I want to make it known that i have googled this and i did find multiple threads with these exact instructions. The problem I'm having is that those 2 channels are not showing up in my adaptation menu. I put in the security code as shown click adaptations in dashboard module and they are simply not there.
Does anyone know why i cant seem to find this selection in my adaptation menu. Was it (re)moved or something? I've lurked the bad out of these forums for the past 2 weeks and made many nice changes thanks to the ODB eleven tool, videos and forum posts but this one is the primary reason i got the tool in the first place..yes it is that annoying to me. I'm canadian. I know when ice forms. I dont need this nagging warning popping up in what seems like every 20 min when its below 4 degrees.
I'm sorry if this has been posted before but the search function and google have not yielded me any results to remedying this issue beyond that post copy pasted 1000 times
