I talked to them regarding this matter two months ago and they have changed the display design.

I took a look at mine today in the direct sunlight and it is a bit hard to read, but you can see where I have mine mounted - directly in the sunlight when my window is open! If you move it somewhere else you should be fine.

Subscribing. I just bought an M500 from another member and will be installing next week Fortunately, I've already had a separate bung welded in from previous tuning, so it will be pretty easy.

I'm 75% done with my install. Here's a picture. I just ordered a blank din plate to fit around the unit.

Has anybody logged the MAF signal? The wiring diagram shows the MAF signal as analog, but I believe it should be frequency. Anybody know for sure? And what conversion factor did you use?

Also, anybody figure out the conversions for Hz to RPM, Hz to MPH?

I've found a few flaws with the R-500, but overall it's a great unit. Anyone else having issues with the analog output? Mine is intermittent.

Bumping this as I'm trying to locate another O2 sensor harness that works with this unit. Somebody please point me to someone/company that has one for sale. It's the same cable that comes on the M-series as well.
