- :Having done this very thing on a Radio-Shack sort of level, I would recommend
- :mounting the sensor at the very front of the car, as far in front of the bumper
-
- i recall one GM system ( high end, either corvette or caddilac ) which
- supposedly got the external temperature fouled up because the sensor
- picked up the exhaust from the car in front of you.
- I found it hard to believe...but if your thermometer reads 200F maybe
- you should put the sensor someplace else :-)
