OK seems to be some confusion on this, so I will post up my install of the Aeroforce interceptor.

You have to start by taking this hex bolt out of your a pillar. I am not sure of the size, but IM pretty sure its in any standard issue hex set as its in mine.


Once you have it removed the A-pillar should just pull out. There are 3 small clips holding it in place. You cant break anything so just pull it and it will pop off.


This is what holds the stock gauge in place. 2 small bolts. Losen these and the stock boost gauge should pull right out. also you must unclip that clip.


The Interceptor will not stay in place the same as the stock gauge. If you LOOK CLOSELY here you can see I wrapped the rim of the Interceptor with Electric tape.
I wrapped arround until it fit snug in the housing.


Here you can see it snug in place, and keeps it from moving and falling out. Very easy way to mount it IMO, and allows adjustment on the fly if needed


Here is the stock harness that was connected to the stock boost gauge. I cut this off of the boost gauge and used tapped off the pink wire to power the new Interceptor.
You can just tap off a wire if you find it easier as you dont have to damage the stock wiring, however I found this way more effective.


Here is the stock connector from the stock gauge spliced into the interceptor wiring.


Here is another clsoe up.


This shows how I ran the ODBII cable. I just pushed it inbetween the plastic and the weather stripping using a flat head screw driver. Very easy and once its back there its not noticable at all.


Another showing the wire being pushed through.


Once you have that completed you will have something that looks like this.


I just pushed the excess wire up and into the crevace, again completely un-noticable.


After that. Just reconnect everything and push all the excess cables down near where the A-pillar first inserts itself. Push the A-Pillar in place and make sure all three clips click. Then put the bolt back in and your good too go. of course before you completely reconnect everything you may want to turn your car on and make sure the gauge works incase you need to double check your wiring.

 

This is what you can expect when completed







Enjoy!

 

Awesome! Thanks for the write up! I ordered mine last night (out of stock, but got an email saying that they should ship it by the end of the week).

 

Sweet! Looks good and thanks for the write up!

 

nice job, i mounted mine in the storage bin next to the driver side door, (Copied another member lol)

 

My shift lights don't work.

 

How do you like the shift lights??

 

can u show us some pics?

 

sure when i get home ill post some

 

 

CobaltBurst, I like that. its creative. but its also kind of out of the way.

 

when you have the box closed it angles the gauge up and you can see it from a regular sitting position, the information it displays doesnt need to be viewed at all times.

also someone else on here did it first, i just copied.

 

Did you make sure to set the RPMs for the shift light? As well make sure to set them lower than you think because it won't update as fast as the engine will hit the rev limiter. Otherwise get a hold of who you bought it from, they will get you a new one.

 

Does it stay in place very well using the tape? Thats the part i dont like,

 

so the only wire you connect it the red one.

 

yeah. that ^^ and cobalt burst, huw about a rightup on that one. Did you just run an auxillary to the fusebox for power, and the odbII plug right in. since you still use your stock boost gauge.

 

Red wire is a power wire, it is the only that NEEDS to be connected. the White and Green are ANALOG connectors, if you install additional sensors in your car you can run them to one of those two wires and it will report data from it, but they are NOT required to be attached.

Tape holds it in perfectly. You put enough tape arround so it fits snug in the hole. It wont budge once in place, and will only come out if you twist it out. Makes adjusting its angle super easy and problem free, and if you have to send it back for repair it pops right out. a 30 second tool free removeal and install.

 

nice....sorry to sound like a idiot but is that thing like the boost gauge but digital?

 

not just. it is an everything gauge. it shows over 30 things. you can choose what 2 you see at each time.

 

i went to the site for it but i cant see how much it costs,how much was urs?

 

i just temp installed mine with my other guages. its not gorgeous looking but it works.

i just noticed my lense cover didnt open all the way thats awesome.

 

Installed mine today but it "WILL NOT POWER DOWN" This is the latest version with firmware version 1.4. I'm a lil pissed. and it sucks that they do not have a Number at Aeroforce for support.

 

Anyone else have this problem ?

 

Great Job! Looks great! Now i want one

 

i had that until i just picked a random empty slot and stuck it in there. i cant remember which fuse location it was but i will try to get it for you.
