Aeroforce Interceptor hardwire? I want to purchase an Aeroforce Interceptor gauge but I know from reading posts on here that sometimes the install is a little more complicated than plug and play via the OBD2 port. I believe the 1998 model years have to also hardwire the gauge for power via a 12v source whereas someone with a 2001 model year camaro did not, he just plugged it into OBD2 and was good to go.
I have a 1999, does anyone know if I would have to hardwire it or not?
I hate messing with wires so I hope I don't have to.

I have 2 of these to go in my car as well, mine is an 02, areoforce is not clear as to the model years 1998-02 and if it need the 12v hard wire it's probably the luck of the draw either it works off ECU/OBD2 or you need to hard wire.
Any stereo installer can do this it's very, very simple same as wiring a radar detector red wire to power source black to ground like most all wiring...don't sweat it it's a piece of cake.
Don't buy the cheapo glow shift gauge pod off e-bay...get the auto meter much better quality get it from summitt racing you'll have it in 2 days and it's very inexpensive.

Thanks, I like that the interceptor does so much but I went back and looked at my budget and it will put me over $2000 for this round of mods and I really want to keep it below 2k so I may opt for a standard auto meter trans temp gauge for now, and then get an aeroforce later when I actually need it idk lol
get it now!! lol you should be fine and dont need to hardwire it. i have to hardwire mine since its a 98 but i havent in 2 months and it works fine all i do is unplug and plug it in every time i use it lol
