dmanaenk Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I wonder if there is a way to make it show coolant temp instead of outside one, and oil pressure instead of athmospheric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to run a line through the firewall all the way to the front, or is everthing already there, and all I need to do is connect it up ? Thanks in advance.

John:banana: Hi john Yes you have to run the supplied harness through the firewall for the sensor that goes by the grile. all you need to do is to pop the ruber plug right above the brake pedal on the firewall and that will be right under the brake booster, so just shove the wire throught there and you'll see it in the engine compartment then pull it carefully untill enought is needed to route and reach the center part of the wood latch. More info is here. this guy did it with his WRX and it works the same for us, just the unit placement for the legacies is right uner the radio. http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-1203.html BTW it is not a major mod. to do, if you can swap radios you can do this. :-p good luck and let me know how it goes, i'll post pics of the installed harness soon cheers Neo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
