VERY easy

hook up +pos power source, hook up -ground, plug into OBD2, for power/ground some people tap into the stock boost gauge. I pulled mine from the sunroof switch, as I chose hardwired my radar detector at the same time.

3 wires, voila

Lemme know if you have any questions

Pretty easy. There used to be a How-to.

Plug the big plug into the OBD port, find a switched 12v source (usually the pink wire off the boost gauge) and youre good to go.

You'll hafta pull the pillar for all of the wiring. Plug the OBD2 cable in and route it under the dash and up the side, (under the weather stripping inbetween that and the dash, and up into the cavity that the pillar wiring comes up through

Take the A-Pillar off. Open the driver's side door. There is a little panel on the end of the dash (where the door opens). Open it. This will assist in pushing the wiring harness up to the A-Pillar area. Its all pretty straight forward from there. Wire it up, plug it in, and go. Make sure you remove the red jumper.

I don't remember the wire colors... but standard wiring colors should be Red (Positive) and Black should be the ground, iirc.

Yeah you need a better ground, if the boost gauge ground, or the sunroof switch isn't working for you. You can make a real solid ground on the frame for the center console. Just pull the panels off from the side by your feet and there is a not you can remove to make a solid ground.

I forgot when I added my WB I switched all my gauges to that ground. With just the Interceptor the sunroof GRD worked good for me, but it wasn't enough for the Innovate WB, so I switched all my gauges over to that one, and it works perfectly

Interceptors don't need a separate ground, they pull everything from the OBDII port, except for the external 12V power that goes to the red wire in the small plug on the back. The green and white wires are for extra sensors that the gauge can read.

Well there ya go, even easier than we said. It's been so long since I installed mine I guess I forgot. 1 wire, 1 plug, and you're set

The newest models of the Scan gauge plug right into the ODBII port. No other connections are needed.
