looking good. Just got the same HU. I am finding it difficult to get the cage to stay in the dashboard....doesnt seem to grip very well. Any ideas?

[BHP Addict]

I put the HU in the cage then the whole lot through the dash trim panel and with a wiggle and a push (quite a lot actually) it went in.

Once in bend the spikes down an hey presto.

You may need to adjust some of the wiring in the back to make a lil more room mate

Looks very smart :thumbup: I have exactly the same gauges and pod but havent got around to fitting them yet, what did you do about extending the wires from the gauges as mine are way to short ?

[Cupra_Jay]

gauges are looking good, i have that boost gauge to go in my car as and when i eventually get round to spraying my a pillar pod black.

is your other gauge an oil temp gauge as im after 1 of them aswell. have you got any closer shots of it? where id u get it from and how much did it cost?

[BHP Addict]

i just got hold of some of the same guage wires in red and black and green i think lol, spade connectors and soldering. Extending was easy.

Boost pipe is tight tho guys, I went through main gromet in bulk head and across under scuttle panel and out into the DV pipe. Then covered in wire covers for protection.

Ye second gauge is oil temp but not wired up yet.sender is in glove box. I cant be bothered to swap it with the bolt under inlet mani. May see if some one will do it for me.

Ill take some more pics when i can guys, they are well nice in dark too.Really impressed

I'm the same, got a Defi BF oil pressure gauge but thats not connected need to find a smaller sender due to it fouling on parts of the engine.

Wheres the best place to look for this type of wiring ? havent a clue where to start :shrug:

[sunilbass]

mate, which pod is that and where did u get it form?

[SCOTTIECTR]

Love those guages mate.

[BHP Addict]

pods were off fleabay, search for leon pod or leon guage etc.... Fairly cheap if i remember.

Screw is nice, they on the a pillar temporarily, i am taking the centre vents out and fitting them in there...eventually :lol: some guys off here have done it and it looks great.

Badlydrawnbanana, you should be able to pick somethong similar up at you local halfrauds i think, my old man got ine from work.

Gauges look great mate as does the headunit. i am wanting these gauges but it seems they are harder to install on diesels. Also i am waiting delivery on this headunit, how do you find it?

[gavthelad]

same gauges as mine.........really good gauges but not too good in the sunlight.....look the absolute business at night!!!

[BHP Addict]

Ytrue, lol, in summer they look off some of the time because of the sunlight, they look the dogz in the dark tho, I'll post a pic when got camera in car.

Headunit it great, the first time i played a dvd was Pirates of the Carribian (sp), and when you get the sound settings right its awesome it really is. You'll love it.

Easy to fit too, get the ISO for the Car and the instructions sort the rest for you.

[Jamie123]

You mean i have to get an addition iso plug to connect this unit? i have a leon fr btw

[BHP Addict]

you dont HAVE to, you can hard wire it.

it's just easier with the ISO

[Jamie123]

Have you got a link as to where i could get this iso mate? I thought it would have plugged straight into the standard iso, no?

[Forbez]

Is that a copper notepad in the centre console???

[gavthelad]

Is that a copper notepad in the centre console???

oh yeah, certainly looks like it........the police round by me dont like modifications....mmmmmm

[BHP Addict]

yea sure is lol, £30 fine for small modified number plate

arseholes!!!!

[Jamie123]

Hi mate, y did you tell me that i would need an iso connector for the avx1. i have just recieved this and it plugged straight into my leon. Another waste of money

[BHP Addict]

i said you need the iso/wiring harness from the back of the avx1 into the leon wiring.

I sent you the links t look at, you have instructions, if you have plugged it str8 in then you obviously had the harness. I helped you with info you MAY have needed IF you didnt have it.

Moving forward if you have any queries speak to a professional or sort it yourself. I offered help i didnt make you buy it.
