sensor is usualy mounted under the front bumper in front of the grill. the wind chill I am told isnt factored in, just as with your thermometer hanging outside it doesnt change when teh wind kicks up. you need either a hot wire (like in a mass air sensor on a car) or add water to the equation. not exactly sure on how it works, I know that it does.

Say, I had another one of those "pondering" questions for you. Came when driving by a local sign showing the temperature and looking down to catch the temp my car was reading outside. Where do they mount the sensor and how does it account for wind chill when the car is in motion? Inquiring minds want to know!

but, I still have a usb port on it, thats a start.

Don't think I'll get Eddie Trunk (liked the Monday interviews), HATE the damn "Hair Nation" moniker that has not taken over station 41 (although the music was really good and I even had a "stay in the car in the driveway" moment tonight when Locked In came on) but what I miss most of all? Some fine lass saying "Bone me!" as a filler / advert for the Boneyard between songs! HAAAA!!!! |
