Many-moons ago, about 480 of them, in fact, when I was a twenty-something fresh out of school, I went to work for Union Carbide Corp - a plastics films & resin manufacturor.

One of the old-timers had a rating-system for stuff we were testing:

"CPS" in his ratings stood for cheap plastic s _ _ _.

(I'll leave the fill-in the blanks to your imagination).

Took me a while of being there before anyone clued me in.

Sounds like that dash unit would qualify for a definite "CPS" rating.
