Default DIY: Cubby Hole ScanGauge II

Materials:

Doc Iso Cubby Hole Panel for SG II
Hands
Time

To start:

Connect the scangauge wire to the OBD II reader.


Then run the wire behind the knee airbags behind the cubby hole.


Run the wire into the small gap (i just wiggled it open and put the wire through, its pinching a bit but no biggie.


Remove the shifter colmun (im sure everyone knows how to remove this)


Put the panel on the SG II.


Wire the SG II with the wire and place in the spot.


DONE!!! Installed with the reading of the HP (New update)

I unclipped my OBDII connector and pushed it in a bit so the plug doesn't stick out as much. I was afraid I'd bang my leg against it and possibly damage it.

Where'd you get that 12V outlet cover? I've been looking for one since I don't need the heater element.

thanks man this helped a ton...1 question though. Could the wire fit through where the cubby hole bulb goes rather than pinching it like you did or is that hole not big enough?

hmm ok so theres no fitment issues even though the wire is being pinched. Once everythign is put back you cant even tell right? I just want it to be a really clean look ya know?
