i thought they were fully electric, i.e no cable?

also stu has mentioned before that they need an astra ecu to run the coolant temp guage. i'd pm him mate.:thumb:

Just had a search on MIG. Seems abit of electrical trickery is required. Balls!!! lol

lol

We tried to get one running in Chris T''s nova (way before I had a vx) and it was an utter slag to get the fuel level to read right, the coolant temp issue we didnt know about needing the astra ecu at the time. And the speedo input..... well forget it lol

You 'can' do it, you just need to have an ABS sensor and get the pulses converted to something useable. Not the end of the world as Dom on mig might have a board that can do it.

imho, not worth the hassle, tbh I'm not a massive fan of it in the vx either lol

vx dash = couple of hundered quid tops (real stack from an N/A or fake Stack from a VXT)

Normal Stack = a grand lol
