Editorial Reviews :
The V2000 deluxe vehicle information center uses PNI's patented magnetic sensor technology--the same compass technology used in GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles. And its sleek new design and metallic finish will get everyone's attention.
The PNI V2000 is packed with a variety of smart features, including automatic shutoff when the vehicle is parked for a few minutes, and distortion warning when magnetic interference from an outside source--such as a steel bridge--is affecting compass accuracy. An intelligent photo diode senses light conditions and turns the backlight on or off automatically. An ice alert displays at 35 degrees Fahrenheit (or 1 degree Celsius) to warn of freezing conditions and potential black ice.
It's easy to mount on a windshield with suction cups, and comes with an adjustable bracket for optimal viewing (even on vertical windshields) and a structural design that reduces vibration. It provides accurate compass bearings within 5 degrees and operates on a long-life lithium battery for over 1,200 hours (without backlight usage). An included 12-volt adapter fits into a lighter socket to save battery life.
Buyer Reviews :
This state of the art compass works well and stays on for as long as the car is changing directions, and when it's connected on the DC power sorce the night light comes on automatic when it gets dark enough and stays lit for as long as it's dark. BUT, the light sometimes stays on after you park and shut the car off and not shut off at all which can drain the car battery. It also does a good job showing the temperture and warns you when it's showing a temperture of 35º or lower to tell you that it's cold enough for the roads to freeze. BUT, it sometimes will show false temperture, for example, it may be 20° outside and it will show 70° and may not correct it self for a long time or not at all, my is still showing the temperture about 50° higher then what it really is and that's been since 12/26/2001 and I don't think it's going to correct it self anymore. BUT, it does work good as a compass and always right dead on of showing the direction that's it's pointing to and it's so easy to set up as it only takes matter of seconds to do.
