mellonman Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Apologies mate, I stand corrected. I must say that it doesn't sound like a very good bit of kit in that case. For a start the reason for an ignition live and a battery live in every gauge I have seen/installed is to keep the current draw at an absolute minimum from the ignition. It is neither fused nor gauged for anything other than switching. Sounds like a massive howler from AEM IMO. I would be selling it and buying a decent one. No worries we cant be right all the time....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I have always used Innovate LM-1 and LM-2, and they have just ignition live and earth, whether as a fixed, or hard wired via cig lighter, they have a calibration and settings memory, but have no need of a battery feed to retain them.

Scott Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) I have always used Innovate LM-1 and LM-2, and they have just ignition live and earth, whether as a fixed, or hard wired via cig lighter, they have a calibration and settings memory, but have no need of a battery feed to retain them. I've got the innovate lm1 and the gauge has B+, Ig+, earth and illum. My gauge dims when I turn the lights on. Fitted it myself other than the welding. Edit: I think it's the LC-1 I have actually. The small unit with the 3.5 mm jack. I'll check how I have it wired when I go in. I did all 3 gauges at the same time.

Yeah, I got it all in a kit. LC-1 and innovate blue digital gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Mine went in the second decat pipe, which Chris Wilson welded a boss onto. After that, doddle. Mate yours is in the downpipe. I put it there myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
