Hi All
Some of us on the GH site have been looking for a way to get outside temperature cheaper than a new rear view mirror for our FEH, but one better than those cheap gauges you wire to the door frame. A new poster responded with a wireless compass that can monitor inside and outside temperature. The unit appears to be of high quality and is called the Wayfinder V2020. The list price has been claim to be anywhere from $129 - over $200. I got a new one on its way from Ebay for $74.99 which included shipping (no tax). The unit I got came with only one outside temperature sensor.
Just ordered the additional inside temperature sensor for my Wayfinder V2020 wireless gauge. It's hard getting details on if the inside sensor is any different than the outside temperature senors. From what I can tell, the outside sensor can be changed into an inside sensor and the optional inside temperature sensor can be changed to an outside sensor. It must be the same sensor, does anyone know?
Lost the bid on Ebay for the inside sensor but got it on the internet for $29.99 plus shipping. Later found it for $25.99, but none were available there. The total cost was $74.99 plus $37.00 for the extra sensor = ~$112.00 including shipping and no tax. Not bad when you consider no installation cost.
It looks like you can put the sensors just about anywhere like in a horse trailer, the cargo area, glove box, under the front or back seats and monitor the temperature. You can even put it in a cooler in the back to monitor food. It's like the SG, you can move it from the vehicle to any car, truck, RV, boat, and have a compass and monitor two temperature locations at the same time with no wires. How about the garage (outside temp) till you open the door and back out! To bad we can't feed a sensor down the HV battery vent.
Way to cool and I thought this group needs a heads up on the unit.
