It took a bit of cussing and sweating in the 90 degree heat, but finally I got everything wired up and yesterday I went to the JY and got the temperature sensor that I needed to make the temp display function properly. Now I know what direction I am heading in aswell as the outside temperature! I like it a lot.... now I know how hot it really is when I am stuck in traffic without A/C! Here are a couple of pictures.

It was something that I have been wanting to finish for a long time now. It was a pain hooking it up to my VSS though, other than that, it was a pretty smooth install.
