I took mine out and installed a Compass, equally useless.

Good luck,bub! How about you watch the news in the morning and get the hi/low temp there, or you can keep wasting your time and money. CEO's and dealer principals have a lot more of both than you.

I'd like to replace mine with a gear indicator. I'm not as smart as most of you and seem to never know what gear I'm in other then 1st and 2nd. I know, I got a problem.
