It works better than the marvel of engineering that is the GM IAT sensor.
I don't know VWs, but my Audis are way more highly engineered than the Miata. They do require more care and feeding though.

As soon as I fix my hard top latches, the visors are all that holds the top on now.

gm ait = weld on bung, screw in, enjoy.
that audi bullshit: weld on bung, then weld on another, threaded bung, then make sure the o/ring seats properly the tolerances are perfect. bullshit after bullshit after bullshit.
way to overcomplicate the everliving **** out of an ait sensor.
And late 90's-newer audi/vw's suck monkey *****. Constant electrical and other misc bullshit problems.
if by "more highly engineered" you mean "OVERCOMPLICATED AS **** AND THEREFORE HAVE 100+ MORE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS/FAILURE POINTS" then yes, you are right

I don't believe single word of this bullshit.

I think you missed the point. The point is not that the Audi sensor is easier to mount.

Serious question about the "GM" sensors that we buy from DIY and others. Were any of those ever actually OEM on any GM vehicle, or are they some aftermarket parts that happen to conform to GM's spec for RTC curve and connectorization?
They just don't look like what I expect a factory sensor to look like.

Said IC had a sensor in the IC identical in body & connecter to the 'GM' sensor, though the actual element bit was far different.
