Or you could just drop it into the hole, but then you'd need to connect the front light (no huge deal) and you'd have this big 5" oddball speedo sticking out of your instrument panel.

You connect it to 12VDC ignition switched, 2 grounds, and the PCM's speedo output (original purpose was for the Traction Control System or the ABS, I think) goes to the Square Wave input terminal on the speedo.

Put the speedo into self-calibration mode, drive 2.00 miles, then click it out of calibration mode. Done.

Are you saying you have to cut out the back of the white guage holder? I think this would be a good deal still. Im not 100% on that Cable X box.
