DIY - AeroForce Interceptor Gauge Install
2 Attachment(s)

The interceptor is a rad little gauge. I've thought about it for my LS1. It would be nice to know my trans temp.

I am getting the duals later on. I still have no idea on where to mount them. The pillar pods aren't ready yet, and haven't heard much about them lately.

I'll post up a few pics of my install.
Pull the rubber back and pop the top of the A-pillar out. Attachment 580844 You can see the safety clip here that you will need to pop off and re-install on the new Pod Pillar Attachment 580845 I just pulled the bottom of the A-pillar out and twisted it around to get a hold of the clip to easily slide it forward and off Attachment 580846 Notice the tab that releases the clip. Attachment 580847 Pic of the stock A-pillar removed Attachment 580848 Pic of the Autometer Gauge pillar and the silver mount where the clip will slide back on Attachment 580849 Pics of where I tucked the extra wire. Note: I have radar detector and footwell wires in here as well so it's a bit messy. Attachment 580850 Pic of the OBDII plug. Save this til last and just plug and go. Attachment 580851 Just showing the back of the gauges after installed and the small plug attached. This plug only goes one way (slots on the side and ribs on the front) Make sure it is pushed in all the way or it will easily unplug itself. Attachment 580852 Once gauges are plugged up and the clip is installed on the new pillar. Stab the end of the Pod Pillar into the slot and push until everything lines up. Peek in the top (Pic #1) to ensure the pin on the clip is lined up to snap the top side back in and you're done. Attachment 580853 Before you plug everything up do a test fit to make sure the gauges turned so they are level when installed. I guessed at it the first time and was way off. Attachment 580854 |
Any videos of the install? I called a shop local to me about doing the install, and just to install the gauges was $300 ($150 per gauge). I have been sitting on these gauges for probably a year or so lol.

The A-pillar pops right off and I provided a good pic of how the clip comes off of the stock one. Pop off the side fuse panel as well and just tuck the extra wires in where I circled. I think the hardest part was plugging the small plug up to the back of the gauge. Before I snapped the new A-pillar into place I turned the key on and made sure they came on. Really not much to it. |
Thank you for adding the text for each step, definitely helps out.
I can't wait to install mine, had no idea it was so easy. Hopefully the weather is nice enough tomorrow for me to do it. I don't think I'll be able to read boost pressure until I have a shop install the new ZR1 map sensor though. The shop I mentioned above, wanted to do a complete retune to install the sensor, another $300 - $400 I think. So the gauge install would have ran me $600+ if I had went with them.:crazy: Quote:

In order to read boost correctly with zr1 sensor, you will need a tuner to input the necessary adjustments. Im on a phone or I would link threads but a search will turn them up.
Installing the sensor is as easy as unplugging the wiring and removing a screw. Pulling stock sensor out and putting zr1 sensor in, replacing screw and plugging connector back in. 5 minutes at the most |

Yeah I know, but this shop was telling me that they had to do a complete retune, because they used different software than my previous tuner (ATLPF.com). I don't know if that is true or not, but I know the MAP sensor install is easy, the tune adjustments is what is holding me up. I'd rather not get a complete retune if I'm not upgrading any parts. |

Glad the text helped. |
CEL and other issues with install
I installed mkne relatively easy, setup the gauges no problem. Turned the key to start my car and it wouldnt start until i unplugged them! When it did start the CEL was on. Plugged up the gauges while the engine was running and my dash started displaying a few different service codes to include power steering and traction control. Also the analog tach was all over the place! Im calling aeroforce today but has anyone else experienced this?
