Defi Experts, Lend Me Your Ears!

Hey all, just bought a brand new Defi BD Oil Temp gauge to go in my dual gauge pillar mount alongside my existing BF Boost gauge.

I went to daisy chain the oil temp to the boost gauge so that I could have both set both gauges fully done inside the car at least, as the sensor & sandwich plate are getting installed next week.

In looking at the back of my boost gauge and the new oil temp gauge I notice the connectors are different. So the little daisy connector that came with the oil temp gauge doesn't fit in the back of my boost gauge.

To try and get around this, since they're all 4 pins anyway, I removed the different white plastic connector on my old gauge and connected the daisy wire to the pins directly, but when I turn the accessories on, the oil temp gauge does nothing, and the boost gauge goes through its "error" sequence.

Are there different series of BF gauge? If so, can my older one work with this new gauge somehow?

I thought you needed the controller to daisy link them up. I could be wrong tho

Yeah but he's right.

There's the Defi link BF gauges and the Defi Link II controller (which I have).

Then there's the Defi Advance BF gauges and the Defi Advance Control Unit (which I bought my new gauge for).

Now I'm gonna have to sell my old Link II controller and boost gauge.

Rookie mistake.
