I had my PFC hand controller lying everywhere from the gear shaft to the little pocket bin next to the cigaret lighter. Sick of it. Now I want to stick it up somewhere that I can easily see like the empty place next to the anttena switch so that the screen can be seen just below the fuel meter, that way I dont need to move my head everytime I have a look at it. But the freaking plastic panel can not be sticked with any kind of tapes. And I'm about to go to my last option which is super glue. But it's really sound stupid to me. Anyway, u guys have any ideas how to stick it up or any others place to hang it so we can easily see it when we drive. Turning head and look at somewhere else but not ur front screen is really dangerous. Cheers,

Tried velcro tape?

+1

Use 2 pieces of Velcro for extra rigidity.

N.B. The adhesive backing on the Velcro may remove that stupid rubber coating from your dash surround if you ever take it off.

Hey man, I think mine surround dash board different than yours coz the plastic on mine one is so rough that you couldn't glossy surface at all. I still can see the reflect from yr dash board surround. Pics will be put tomorrow.

just to the left of steering column it'll cover your fuel gauge slightly but you don't want to be reminded how much fuel you just used so its better to hide it alittle...

make sure you clean down the surface with metho to get any shite on their velcro tape is what I used, you just want to make sure you get the best adhesion possible....

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
