Now you’ll need to get the wiring that came with your gauges, and feed the cable down the drivers side behind the dash, until you can see them coming through the foot well. You might be able to do this without removing the ICC, and by just feeding the cables down, but I had no luck. Then, you’ll need to remove the ICC, which you can find instruction on here. Now to remove the top of the ICC, you’ll just need to stick a credit card at the back of it, and pry it upwards and out, it should just clip off as you pry it.

I also wired the illumination up to the traction control and fog light switch.įirst things first, when working with anything electrical in the car, it’s always wise to disconnect the battery. If you do however have a hands-free kit using it, you could splice into the wires, otherwise maybe find another source for your wiring. I bought mine from Jaycar Electronics, cat code: PP2066. To do this though, you will need to purchase a 4 pin auto plug to connect your wiring to. It was originally intended to be used for bluetooth hands-free car kits, but as I have none, it was trivial to just use that. The easiest and least intrusive way I found to wire my gauges up was to connect them to the plug that lies behind the fuse box located in the cabin. What you purchase is up to you, but to install them is all going to be different, except for the wiring of the ground, power, ignition and illumination (which I’ll show you here) I also purchased a vacuum/boost gauge (This was mainly the one I wanted) as well as a voltage gauge (This was originally purchased just as an easy to install substitute to fill the second pod, but has worked out well as I’m installing the carputer)

I purchased a double gauge holder, similar to the ones that were included in the FPV range. You will need to purchase a mount for the gauges (You can get single, double and even triple mounts for the BA-BF falcons that go above the ICC) as well as the gauges to put in them. I was asked how I had wired up my gauges in my XR6 when I realised I couldn’t find anywhere that specifically showed you, so I thought I would do a write up on it!Īs I had done this quite a while ago, I can’t remember where I purchased my items from, but you can get them at most auto shops, or from online stores and ebay!
