You guys know if theres anyway to hook up some type of scanner to that? So you can use it like a gauge to read engine info like afr, iat's, etc.... Would be really cool to pull that info in there to cut down on some gauges and monitor the car.

Also very nice setup guys!

So to you guys that have this installed (I am 6") is the oil guage blocked?

Haha I'm the same way my oil pressure and voltage gauges are difficult to see but hey they all can't be winners

Nice install

I am only 5'10 and I really have no issues seeing the gauges. but I am glad to trade any problems viewing the gauges for the large Navigation screen.

Hi,
Nice install.
I purchased the XIA-LCD for my Metra. what does it plug into?
I'm guessing the AXXESS?
I didn't want to take the dash apart again till I knew what to do.
Thanks
Sorry if this is a stupid question

Here is my volt and oil pressure gauge setup. I can not get the oil and volt meter in place at all.

Baldie · 12-06-2012, 11:17 PM

So I am having the same problem. The two pink wires with the connectors need to be connected right? With the male and the female? Or is it the dark Green wire? Any help would be appreciated.

Just finished my labor intensive install tonight, but now I'm havinging an issue. The Axxess XIA-LCD is not letting me change anything but the language. I'll call metra tomorrow, but if anyone is up and has an idea, let me know.

Thanks.
