I'm not 100% crazy about how you mounted the console.

When I did mine, the rear uses the base of a dome light while the front has a tab that slides between the two roof panels.

How stable 'wobbly' is that setup you have?

Uses the vehicle speed to determine how often to sample the temperature. Uses the last known temp when not moving, otherwise it wills start to report too high of a temp. Updates every 30 seconds from 1-30mph, 15 seconds from 30-50mph and continuously over 50mph.

Well now you have no excuse to get it installed!

I am planning on adding a new temp sensor soon with a switch so that I can get the outside temp as well as the intake air temperature as well.... for no other reason than I just like to have numbers thrown at me!

Well now I want to GEEK it out and do an outside temp on the overhead and add a rear view mirror with the inside temp. I am going to be putting this stuff in my GTP not my Z24.

What does the digital compass use for its display, is it all in the temp sensor, or is it just in the display unit itself?

All of the "guts" for the compass is built into the display unit.
