Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Pros:
1. Easy installation.
2. Accurate temperature readings when the sensor is placed at the right place.
Cons:
1. Back light is too dim. At night you have to get as close as one foot to see the digits.
2. The silver cover is too shiny. You can see its reflection in the windshield. It should be a dull color like the dashboard.
3. Expensive for what it does.
4. You would hope the thieves are smart enough not to think it is an expensive GPS unit.
Conclusion: This product is not worth buying. It has been on the market for at least two years, but you don't see the manufacturer making any improvement on things such as the back light. A Gentex auto-dimming mirror with compass and outside temperature has better value.
Update on 11-5-2006: One month after installation the outside temperature sensor went dead.
Update on 12-27-2006: Finally received replacement unit from the manufacturer. Customer Service was not very responsive.
