I don't see why it wouldn't work, but just to make sure, ask at:

Based on wat ive read from the PDF intructions the tach wire can easily connected at the gauges instead of pulling out the OBD II connector and laying on ur back trying to solder when u can just take out one screw above the gauges and pop out the connector and tap into the PIN 26....please let me know if this sounds right, il try it anyway later today after work if i get no reply....with pics lol!

There is nothing easier than the OBDII connection. Black wire in the right side.

No way it took me under 5 minutes to install, check it out....i did a custom mounting which worked out great, just thought of it on the spot (im the first),i just took off the bracket that comes built in and ran the wires through the vent opening slot and made a tight fit so it didnt move around, so much easier because the wires only were 8 inches long so the connector was right next to it (no patch wires)

I have that same one, but it didn't work for me. Is it the adjustable one?

how many wires did you have? because i know most have 5(3 regular, 2 closed loop), you have to cut the 2 looped ones for your 4 cylinder, and then 1 accessory(gauge cluster), 1 ground(bare metal), 1 tach wire(to gauge cluster)
