HELP! P3 Gauge - missing parts?

I recently bought a P3 gauge of a forum member (fairly unpleasant transaction).

Today I wanted to install my P3 gauge. This is what I received (in an opened box):

Pic 1


Pic 2



Here's where I'm stuck:

Pic 3


Pic 4


It appears there should be a couple of splice harnesses that come with the gauge? I don't have them. I could probably do it without them... if I knew the wiring (i.e. which wire in Pic 2 goes on which wire on the 1er)...

Meanwhile, my car is sitting in the garage in pieces

It's all there, you just need to read the v2 install instructions, you were looking at the wrong instructions...

Ah cool, thanks so much for pointing that out; it makes more sense. I've been looking at the P3cars.com site, but the link for the 135i installation wasn't working, they must have added it recently

Looks like the only thing I'm missing is an el-cheapo t-tap connector for the dimmer function. That's fine, I can just splice directly into the wire because the colour of the wire in the car is specified in the instructions
