Now that I have the car tuned well, I find the sensor to be more of an annoyance than anything else. I'm tired of having to reroute it and tuck it whenever I remove the battery tray.

I'm pulling it out .

PS: The telemetry only works to within 40 feet anyhow, so it's out of range most of the time for me.

didnt know about the 40 foot range, ill have to keep that in mind.
