How about temperature, Byron??? It gets mighty hot in a car
parked in the sun down south. If the sensors in the cube are
the same as the airbag sensors, then I don't think that this
would be a problem, either. It doesn't hurt to ask though,
especially since my cube has been mounted in my center console
for over a year now.....
