Why does the DriftBox or VBOX Mini need to be aligned?
The DriftBox and VBOX Mini both have a built-in yaw rate sensor, which is used for calculating drift angle. This must be sitting flat (relatiive to the earth) to work properly. If you have a PerformanceBox, or are not using the drift angle feature, the mounting of the box is less critical. With an external antenna, a box could even be mounted in a glove box, under a seat, etc. • Can these be used on motorcycles? Absolutely! Depending on the layout of your bike, you may want to get the external antenna so you can pack the box away under a seat or in a vest.
