I think it's very accurate. You'll see it go up and down a degree or two while you are driving around. On a longer trip it could change a lot. I took a drive up into the hills where I could be sure the temps would change to test it. I don't know if you'll see it move while you are sitting still.

The compass works all the time and has nothing to do with the VSS. It's accurate but I wish it had more than just 8 compass points. But then they are all the same as far as I've seen.

You'll really like the console. Good luck.

Send me a PM if you would like to discuss the VSS. I tried to send you a PM but the system said you had the feature turned off. Turn on your PM's and I will send you an email address.

I also put an ol bird's console in the truck that I had before the one I have now. I have some pics in my gallery. He provides great instructions for putting it in.
