Anyone have pictures with it tapped into the raido? I have it tapped into the clock, but would prefer to not have the warning alarm going off while just the raido is on.

i salute you sir one of the best write up's on that particular install i have personally seen. you provided all the detail i seek.

importmike · 09-14-2007, 02:29 AM

Thanks exstacy, right to the point and very helpful.

attila · 09-14-2007, 05:41 PM

Thanks. I will try this tomorrow.

I was able to install my Defi gauges cause of this write up.

Thanks!!!

munky69 · 11-13-2007, 04:30 PM

ok got the boost gauge and control unit hooked up. on my 04 the light wire was white/red and not pink/blue like the one on the 1st page. everything else was the same. if my pod ever gets here i'll be ready to rock

well after i hook up the oil pressure sensor ... thanks for the directions, they helped. it was super easy, CU and boost gauge took like 30-40 minutes thanks to the tips here!

alpine_012 · 12-23-2007, 10:38 AM

Okay and sorry,
I got a little confused with all the talk about threads sizes and if you need adapters or not. On my 07 I'm installing the oil temp, do I need the gallery plug adapter if using celcius. Or can the fitting that came with the kit go directly in.

wpwm020 · 02-13-2008, 03:43 PM

what kind of telfon tape are you guys using. should i get e specific one or are they all the same.

***bbong*** · 02-24-2008, 02:02 PM

Awesome write up man, I just finished my install and here are couple things I don't like so far:

Air-bag Light being on.
When Lights are off, the Pod Gauges are not lit <- How to fix that? And you can't change their illumination through DEFI Link, will only work for Boost.

Thanks,
Tom

05_GD7 · 02-24-2008, 02:10 PM

Double check your wiring - especially the illumination part. You should be able to change the brightness on all 3 gauges at the same time. Double check your daisy chain.

Make sure your harness is plugged into METER OUTPUT 2, not OUTPUT 1.

Airbag light, I can't help ya, my 05 didn't have that light.

Airbag light: Did you re plug in your dash clock (assuming you tapped there for one or more of the connections) and tuck it down in the dash? If not you need to, the clock is part of the airbag circuit.

Illumination: If you used the provided wire taps, make sure they're all getting a secure connection. Go to Radio Shack and get a $20 multimeter, it will make your life so much easier when troubleshooting any electrical problem. I was getting a bad ground and my illumination tap was stubborn. I thought I had a defective unit until I got the multimeter and found out what was really going on.

Deuce Cam · 02-24-2008, 02:20 PM

Did you unplug your clock? Your airbag light will come on if you did. You have to leave the clock plugged in under the dash to avoid getting the airbag light (this only applies to the 06-07 models).
