Tach Installed - Toyota Yaris Forums

spkrman · 12-28-2006, 02:19 PM

Thanks to the DIY tach guide!!!!!!!! Was a big help.

I tapped power and dimmer from the radio, and grounded at the spot noted in the DIY to avoid any noise issues with the radio.

I plan on 'glassing up some sort of pod eventually... but I think I'll wait until I get a few other guages (oil pressure is somethign else I want displayed).

I do have an auto, but I like to know whats goin on with the motor... also I find shifting the car manually makes it 500% more responsive and fun to drive. Best of both worlds, auto for when I need to talk on the phone/do stuff/dont feel like bothering and manual when I feel frisky :). It definitely helps to hold onto 1st and second a few 100 RPM longer than the ECU does when at WOT.
