I installed one on my c5z a couple years ago. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures. The car is currently in storage 2 hours away, so I can't take any. I will say that I just followed the instructions exactly and it worked. No issues. The hardest part was finding a place to mount the box. Well, getting inverted under the dash is a bit tricky also.

Is these the correct connections? Also, my obd doesn't have the red/ white wire. Do I tap into the orange wire on the obd? Thanks

Those look to be the correct connectors. I think I used the orange brake switch wire for power also because it is much easier to get to since you are already there. Unfortunately the car is far away at the moment else I could snap pics of what exactly I did.

Thanks for you help. The instruction on autoblip is misleading.

Agree on the power connection. They should just say use the brake switch orange wire. It is much easier anyway. Good luck. I really like mine when I'm on the track.

On the throttle position, which light blue wire did you tap into?

I don't remember there being two lt blue wires. According to the pin out the one you want should be near the tan and ppl wires. Seems to be the lower one in your picture.

Hey
Can you help me out with installation plz?
I connected all the wires the way I should. But I cant even calibrate it. It gives me reduced engine power and engine light on.
Thanks.
