I have a small question, Why are you installing a Tac?? Is the OEM on in your dash broken??

Give me a shout via PM about audio install, and we can discuss what you have/expect from your equipment.

And ya, why the new tach?

Just curious is all.

maybe he just wants the shift light? cause that is still helpful even with a tacho in the cluster  
-orrr a tacho in his eye visibility? so that he doesnt have to look down and take eyes off the road? i dunzo

or…as most car “tuners” these days like to do is add pointless parts to there car to make it “FAST AND FURIOUS JDM TYTE”

ALSO- like you said your a new 240 driver…a tacho on the dash should really be used for a serious powered car so you can get bang on shifts…i dont think your cars really pushing madass hp reasonable enough to have a monster tach.(no flame just discussion)

hey…we all have our reasons…i might even do it…if i tear apart my dash

green wire- goes to the negitive wire off the coil  
white wire- goes to a illumination wire  
red wire- goes to a acc wire. so power comes on when the ignition goes on.  
black wire- is a ground
