Well after some issues with the first one I received from Aeroforce, I fianlly have my new Interceptor gauge installed. I am very happy with it. I love all the different things it can do. The only thing I was disappointed about is the fact that it doesnt read Transmission temperature. I thought it did, but only on Automatic vehicles. Theres apparently no sensor for a manual. But the two other things I was really concerned about was the shift light and MPG display. Overall, I'm pleased:

Sorry for the crappy pic. The USB cable for my good camera was accidently cut.

Awesome. I have to send mine out to get reprogrammed for my SS.

Where did you get the 12v source from?

Glad I have an A4, WooHoo! Gotta grab one of these now...

I think it plugs into the OB2 port and might have a seperate wire to run out to the battery.

Looks great, I have one and love it! What was wrong with the first one they sent you?

You don't need to hook any other wires up to it on our cars. It gets the power directly from the OBDII port. I think there might be the option to hook a wire up so that you can dim it with your interior lights, but I never bothered hooking that up.

looks good. I have been eyeballing one for a while. Did you say I does work as a shift light.

You dont need a seperate power source on our cars as someone stated earlier. It gets its power from the OBD2 port.
And the shift light works very well. I have mine set at 5800 rpm.
I'm not sure what was wrong with the first one. it worked at first, but after I installed it in my pillar pod it stopped. I thought it was a pinched wire or somethng but it was fine, no visible damage anywhere. I called Todd at Aeroforce technology and he sent me a new one right away. I didnt even have to send the original back first.
Some things are a little confusing though. I'm not sure about how to set up the horsepower setting. Its set at 100 hp right now. Now obviously LS1s put out a lot more than that. But when I tried adjusting to about 330, it threw my MPG way off. it said i was getting like 75 MPG. . I put it back to 100 and the MPG seems to be accurate. I do not know for sure though. I will be calling Todd back to double check on how that really works.

That looks good.

Oh, I had the gauge in my Neon and it got the power from the ODBII port aswell. I thought I read in the instructions that in GM vehicles it needs to have a seperate power source and ground. Well, that's good to know.

Thanks.

I have one of these installed in the same pillar pod. Although yours looks like it fits more flush with the pillar than mine. What did you use to stick it to the pillar?

I used only the supplied push pins.

Heres a quick and shitty camera phone pic at night. Top is MPG, bottom is MPH.

It really is an awesome gauge. I had it for about a year on my last car, it makes it that much better that I can use it on my SS too.

I used some double back tape bc I didn't have the guts to drill into the A pillar. I may have to though
