Triple Gauges

[Rapidrider]

Hi my name is Sean i live in the UK, this is my first time on your site. After looking through your forum i have noticed that the xanavi screen to the triple gauge conversion has not popped up recently, i have don it a little differently to others but still have the same problem to get it wired up, now if i can get my hands on the correct loom is there some where to connect it to behind the speedo cluster. You will probably are wondering what i have done different so here it goes. I have taken the screen out but left the cradle in and after a bit of modifing of the backplate put my own satnav in its place but it still can be removed as easy as if it was attached to the windscreen. The triple gauges have been fitted where the headunit for the satnav was, i had slightly adjust the position of the heater controls and the stereo unit by dropping them about 10mm cutting the 2 fixing plates to enable this reattaching them and then cutting the remainder off above the heater control to allow the gauges to fit. You have to cut a bit off the side tags of the gauges to allow them to go back then fixing them back with a screw after drillig a pilot hole.

ONCE AGAIN DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE LOOM PLUGS INTO BEHIND THE MAIN CUSTER.

Here is a DIY i created, it shows you where to look for the factory plug but as i have not tried this method you will need to remove the cluster to

check the plugs are there or just follow option one as this will work.

Any questions feel free to ask..

Thanks Andy for your input i had already seen your post and it has helped me about the loom needed just got to get one. I have just got to sort a facia plate for them. Thought about replacing the clear plastic on them and then cutting a new one to cover the gaps and painting the back black so all you see is the dials i will let you know how i get on.

I actually want to do the opposite to mine, so if anyone has the plastic parts from the N/A dash I'd love to buy them. :-)

No luck with the wiring harness so i have took the plastic bit off one of the leads to the xanavi and connected them seperatly to their relevent positions. Connected the bulbs and ignition feed wires from the hazard switch going to go to mgt racing to find out about the oil and turbo sensors and then trace back wires to the interior then branch off from there so nearly there. After they are all connected just got to sort out a bit of facia but at least the end of this little project is getting closer.

I put up a Page in the DIY showing the correct sensors and what wires to connect to if that helps.

That should get you connected.

Enjoy
