ok o i got my aerofroce intercept gauge but my car has been weird since and i have ome questions about setting it up..

p.s. i set it up by wiring it to the red wire from the old gauge.

1) ever since i installed the guage, my car does not turn off when i take out the key. it turns off about 10-30secs later. i know its the guage because when it is not plugged in it turns off right away. the rpm on the guage stays going while the dash is at 0.

2) How do you get it to read boost accuratly? it says altitude, i believe its in meters so chicago would be 189... i get wrong boost levels compared to when i had the stock guage. also which option do i choose (i assumed boost dm)

3) can you change it from kph to mph? so that it is readable without converting manually?

thanks guys, ill let you know if i have any other questions.

 

Tap the power wire into the sunroof fuse. I would suggest to read the manual to figure out how to get it to read correctly.

 

ive read it many times and still get same issue

 

I would contact Aero Force then. It seems like every once in a while they have some bad gauges go out.

 

The aeroforce gauge is finicky. I had it tapped into the old gauge wires and it did not like it to much. I then decided to create my own fuse link to the fuse box and used one of the empty accessory fuse locations and the gauge now works without any problems.

 

alright i got it to work good, no problems with wiring anymore.

few problems though, how do i change it from kph to mph (is not in the manual)
also i cant get it to read boost accuratly, it doesnt say what the altitude is in (measurement)

ive posted on aeroforce and no response so far. anyone else have one? and does it read in mph? thanks

 

Everything is in US measure you cannot change it. I believe the altitude is in feet. Did aeroforce change there gauges. I live in Canada as you can see and my gauge was in US measure.

 

nope im positive its kph. i can get a pic up here too, i sent cobalt-addiction an email asking if i can get the right gauge also

 

Hey I just noticed something on there web page...Do you have the 2.0 firmware version dated 6/1/07 or the gen II 1.4 firmware version. mine is the 1.4 and I noticed the new version has some other inputs than mine.

hmmmm...I went on there web site(aeroforce) and looked into the cobalt/ion tab and they state that it is all in US measure. IIIINNNNTTTEEERRRSSSTTTIIINNNGGGGGG!!!

keep me informed.

If you have the firmware version 1.4 here are the supported perameters and measure.

A1A-GM Supported Parameters (PID’S)
1. INTAKE AIR- Intake Air Temperature
2. COOLANT TEMP- Engine Coolant Temperature
3. TRANS TEMP- Transmission Temperature
4. RPM- engine Revolutions Per Minute
5. MAF SENSOR LB/M- Mass Air Flow (lbs/min)
6. MAF FREQUENCY- raw Mass Air Flow sensor output (frequency)
7. MANIFOLD PSI- Manifold Air Pressure (psi)*
8. THROTTLE POS PCT- Throttle Position percentage (0-100%)
9. THROTTLE VOLTS- Throttle Position sensor output (0-5 volts)
10. MILES PER HOUR- Miles Per Hour
11. KNOCK RETARD- Knock Retard (degrees)
12. IGNITION ADVANCE- ignition timing advance
13. PULSE WIDTH- injector #1 pulse width (4&6 cylinder engines)
14. SHORT TRIM B1-short term fuel trim bank#1
15. SHORT TRIM B2-short term fuel trim bank#2
16. LONG TRIM B1-long term fuel trim bank#1
17. LONG TRIM B2-long term fuel trim bank#2
18. OXYGEN SENSOR B1-O2 bank 1 sensor in millivolts
19. OXYGEN SENSOR B2-O2 bank 2 sensor in millivolts
20. RUN TIME MINS- engine run time is tenths of seconds since last engine start
21. BATTERY VOLTAGE- Alternator/battery output voltage
22. IAC POSITION- Idle Air Control counts (position of Idle Air Control valve)
23. PULSE WIDTH B1-injector Pulse Width for bank 1 (8 cylinder engines)
24. PULSE WIDTH B2-injector Pulse Width for bank 2 (8 cylinder engines)
25. ENGINE LOAD-calculated Engine Load (0-100%)
26. ENGINE OIL PRESSURE (some 8 cylinder engines)
27. INTAKE AIR 2 – Intake Air Temp. downstream of intercooler (some supercharged
applications).
28. KNOCK LEARN FACTOR
29. Miles Per Gallon- instantaneous fuel economy
30. Calculated net horsepower
31. Analog 1 – analog input #1.
32. Analog 2 – analog input #2
33. INTAKE AIR 2 – Intake Air Temp. downstream of intercooler (some supercharged
applications).
*Will read in PSI (pounds per square inch) whether in vacuum or under boost (factory
forced induction applications). Normal range is approximately -9 psi at idle.

 

yep i have the 2.0 according to my manual.

heres the pics





the box even says MPH









i dont know, i contacted cobalt addiction and they said to call aeroforce since they ordered it right and go the wrong ones...so

 

Well I don't think you got the wrong one. The best thing I can say is go to there web site and phone them or the do have a tech forum on there home page at the bottom and ask. I don't have the same one as you with all the nifty new features you lucky dog. I was reading in the manual and I believe everything is set and you can't change it.

 

dam lol i guess im off to call them and hopefully they are cool about it lol

 

Well it would appear that there are now 2 versions of the 2.0 firmware. a US measure and a metric measure. Now being from Canada I like having the US measure cause now I can read things with my cluster in Km/h or from my scan guage in mile/h. I wonder if there is a setting on that gauge that lets you choose.

I went on the aeroforce forum and asked if there is any way to update to the 2.0 firmware virsion. Hopefully someone will answer.

 

ok i called aeroforce and he was cool about it, i just need to send him my gauge and he will reflash it to us! woo lol plus its only in ohio so i should get it back in no time
