Why does your car need a vario? *I would think it's high minimum sink

.... and what is it floating in? The trunk of an old Toyota I had
would take on a bit of water in a heavy rain, but not enough for
anything bigger than a peanut to float in. Maybe you ought to drill
some drainage holes. Or, you might just relocate the vario to the
dash board. It's got to be difficult to read, floating around in the
trunk.
