so, why did i buy this? well, my car's climate was acting up, blowing hot air when it should be cool—annoying, right? i'm no mechanic, but i've tinkered enough to handle this. installation was straightforward: just plugged it in, and it worked. no need for pros, which saved me some cash. does it do the job? yes, the temperature readings are spot on now, and my drives are more comfortable. but is it prefect? not quite; i wish it came with better guidance or was a bit more refined. overall, for the price, it's a solid fix, and i'd recommend it to others in a ipnch.
- Pros: for the price, it fits perfectly into my car without any fuss, and the readings are quite accurate now, no more guessing if it's hot or cold outside. it feels strudy and should last a while, which is a relief.
- Cons: most lilely, it's not the most advanced part out there, and i had to double-check the compatibility myself since the instructions were a bit vague. also, the pigtail could be a tad longer for easier installation in tight spots.
