any 2.2 guys running an interceptor on here?

for the gauge to power on do i need to run direct power to it via the the red wire on the three wire connector and an add-a-fuse or can it be powered just from the obd2 port?

It is from 2006, I would have to say the images no longer exist, sure the host has deleted them by now.

I placed the add-a-fuse in an "EMPTY" slot on the fuse panel (slot #22 to be exact).

Some people tap into the boost gauge, sunroof, etc.

****, I dont remember man. It's been almost 2 years now since I installed my interceptor. I think I have the wire I used still at my house. I'll get back to you if I find it.

I have an 07', and I had to externally power my gauge.

Yes, it will power up with the OBD2 port. Not sure if that is what you were getting at??

its mega easy, take out bolt, transfer clips from old pillar to new one if you are using a new one it, route wire, put in gauge... plug in OBD, splice in wire to a SWITCHED power supply ( i used sunroof). done.

Pictures don't work again...so frustrating! How-To threads should not be approved until the pictures are uploaded and hosted by this website (i.e. cobaltss.net)...that way this problem will not happen.

Does anyone have the pictures saved and want to post them?? Would be greatly appreciated.
