P3 Cars Boost Gauge Install Guide?

[tHegeRm]

Anyone know where to find the link, it's not on their home page. I found it here once (yes HondaGoneRogue I can use the search function) alas I don't seem to be using the correct search criteria.

try here:
http://www.p3cars.com/install/

if not I had a thread too on it

Personally the video was ALOT more helpful on YT
http://www.youtube.com/user/P3Cars

i also did the line reverse from the engine bay into the firewall, not from the interior

Thank you.

but neither of those are the install instructions, all I'm looking for is the pictorial guide I found a link to somewhere on here.

I have a V1 gauge and don't need any of the tune controls connected as I am running a Dinan Stage 2.

Bump. Please.

Can anyone who has this installed go over the install with me verbally or in pics if you have the abilities, I'm not getting any help from Rix and think I pretty much know what needs to be done.

Install power supply harness to d/c socket behind parking brake, run wires inside of center console and under across the steering wheel?

How exactly does t-line connect to d/v's?

Is the hole in the firewall I want to use the one with the single braided fabric covered wire running thru it under the cover for the brake fluid master cylinder and abs pump?

I am not running a removal/adjustable tune, is the above all I need to do to connect the gauge?

http://www.rixeffects.com/store/support has all the old stuff, docs, video, etc.
This web address is listed in the paper that came with the v1 gauge.

As the install linked here is for the 335 I just wanted to verify nothing was different. I appreciate your reply.

The V2 gauge reads boost from the CAN doesn't it? We wouldn't need to run anything in that case correct?

I have received the latest P3cars boost gauge for my 07 335i with Dinan Stage 2 upgrades, without instructions for install. I have installed the boost line and the readout in the vent (by making a small cut in the vent unit to direct the flat cable out to the OBDII connection). My problem is that I am left with 3 power wires with spade clips. Red, Brown, Blue . Where do they pick up their power?? I assume with this unit,it doesn't have a 3 prong connector to get power from the ashtray, I don't need to use that power but get it somewhere else...
Anyone out there installed the new device?? I would appreciate help. Have emailed and called P3Cars with no response. Rixeffects install is not applicable to my device. I assume it was a previous generation.

It gets everything it needs from the obd2 port.... simply plug it in. If you read www.p3cars.com/install/bmw you will see that blue and brown wires are optional analog inputs and green wire is optional dimmer input. All you need is obd2 and vacuum line.
