What is the little blue thing sticking out of the panel at the left edge of the EDM-900?

That color looks familiar…  the LVL button..?

lots of time behind both.  I like the ability to add alerts and such to the EIS.  The JPI is a fine product also.  if i wasnt cutting a panel, id stick with a round instrument.

Curious, do you have 2 x OAT probes to get temp for the jpi and the g3x?  I wish they could share but I don’t think they do?

There are two.  They always disagree. I am not OCD so I don't fret about it.

Piece of tape or some other packaging artifact left over from install.  See previous post for OCD status.

Some of us prefer CDO (alphabetical order).

The level button is down below.  He is asking about the little blue thing sticking out on the left side of the EDM.  As someone previously stated it looks like a piece of packaging from the install or some such.

It’s a piece of painters tape that held the protective clear plastic it’s ship with.

Set one to °C, the other to °F.

OCD is 3 letters, so I have the jpi700, g5 AND windshield OAT probes. All in C (well, the windshield probe has both)... And they all disagree...

Windshield and G5 probes are pretty close to one another (in readout, not locationwise). Jpi probe is on the lateral air scoop and I'm starting to think that it's not adding any value...

the naca scoop on the side reads higher than actual, too close to exhaust and engine. Really needs to be in undisturbed air. But installers love using the naca scoop because it’s couldn’t be easier to install there.

Knowing that Garmin is selling a lot of their EIS, it wouldn't surprise me to see JPI certify their experimental EDM-350.

True, for those of us with 1 exhaust, you’ll want to install it on the opposite side. Mine runs ~3° hot.
