Makes me want to put a sharp stick in my eye. Maybe a compass in its place.

You guys are funny! Poke myself in the eye with a stick. That's funny. I don't care who you are.

Ambient temperature of what? Oil gauge tells you way more relevant information.

If you want to make it accurate, move the sensor to the radio bracket as low as the wiring will let it. Fasten it with some velcro. It'll read properly then. Might take a few miles to get it spot on if you park in a warmer garage.

Will the Whistler Cruisader fit in there and is the temp gauge in that better? I really want it for the radar detector.
Thanks

I bought mine from my local stealer. $139.00 plus 15% end of the year discount. A little more than the other aftermarket gauges.... but it matches the other gauges EXACTLY.

Very few people get close enough to see the lettering on the gauges... or the glow color at night.... but as we all know.... real beauty is in the details.
