Well, after installation of audio system, I noticed how my temperature on the screen always shows somewhere around 7 degrees. Thought it was just a weather..

Well tonight, I am pretty sure it's way below than 11 degrees... when I start the car it was showing 11 degrees, as I drive, the temperature went down to 3-4 degrees. Is this suppose to be like this? or is the temperature suppose to be at around what it actually is when I start the car?

Only modification I have is 5 channel amp and speakers in front door, woofer, and T1R voltage stablizer..

Thanks in advance.

OK, damn it, you and Zigen really need to start a translation site or post up a dictionary for all the combination of smilies you use in a post.

Trying to read your posts is like reading those wordless comics and then trying to figure out what the story is. :laugh:

lol, we don't have some code to follow... just need to figure out what those stands for, lol

Can you guys keep the PWing in the PW threads...thanks!

As for the temperature sensor in my TSX I notice that its usually off 2-3 degrees from the actual temperature, according to the thermo gauge I have at home. When I start the car the temperature seems low, but it goes up 2 degrees after my car gets warmed up.

taken off ajr's website

"The T1R V-Power Voltage Stabilizer regulates the voltage of the car's electrical system, providing constant voltage at all times. Normally the electrical system's voltage will fluctuate under acceleration resulting in power loss and rough power delivery. The Voltage Stabilizer eliminates this voltage fluctuation, providing a constant voltage, thereby smoothening power delivery and optimizing power. Low rpm performance is improved noticeably, with improved response, acceleration, and smoothness. Fuel economy is also improved, especially for city driving conditions. This product also features a ON/OFF switch for safer installations. Avialble in 4 colours i.e. red, blue , silver & gold."

don't want to comment anything on butt dyno or "feel"...
there are always morons who like to pick on those, b/c "stock for the win" for them.
I just use them as extra capacitors
