Hey guys, in the process of installing an A&A blower, just about finished with it and one of the next steps is installing my gauges and i want to make sure I get the correct wires/routing before I start.
I have the Innovate MTX-L wideband and the MTX-D boost gauge. So I need
-switched 12v source
-ground
-headlight power wire (but says do no connect this wire to the headlight dimming wire)
Both gauges need those 3, and the wideband has a yellow and brown wire for analog out 1 and anolog out 2.
First question, I read somewhere there is a unused set of wires on the passenger side foot panel that is taped up and perfect for a gauge, can anybody tell me which colors are which? And since both gauges need the same 3, 12v ground and headlight can I splice them in together?
Next is the anolog outputs for the wideband i believe I'm going to need for hp tuners, I'm data logging and sending files. The tuner is not local
What exactly do I do with these wires, I've never used hp tuners or even have the cable with me just yet to see how it would connect.
That's the picture I saw, it looks to me red/orange,black and white. I assume red 12v, white would be the headlight power? And black ground. Can anyone confirm this

I found some more info on the wires.
As long as it is NOT a 2004 there are 3 blunt cut with ends taped over wires in the passenger foot well fuse box that were intended for after market accessories. There is a black ground wire, a switch power yellow wire and an orange always hot wire. Behind the toe kick in the passenger foot well and to the left of the BCM (large silver box) is where they would be located. The wires use fuses #7 (orange wire) and #11 (yellow wire) in the IP fuse box next to the BCM.

Thanks a lot! I couldn't find a definitive answer
Anybody have advice on the anolog outputs from the wideband for hp tuners?
Edit- the orange, always hot would work for what they're asking a headlight power?

That I do not know without seeing the directions that came with the gauges. Mine change colors when I turn the lights on, I tapped into a wire from the headlight switch
What year is your car? I found the directions on it
2002.
I'm reading the instructions also, and this is what I have on my gauge
What I'm understanding is, red wire to the switched power, black to the ground. White wire is for dim, If I don't want to use it just connect to ground.
Then yellow and brown are anolog output, I believe yellow is for my wideband and I just need to run that so I can connect it to the side of the hp tuners vcm.
And I think the serial in and out ports are for connecting straight to a laptop which I'm not doing
