Aeroforce

[10sec]

So I've had my aeroforce gauge for a while now (6 months) and I've been turning it on by unplugging it from the obd2 port, then waiting a couple seconds and plugging it back in. How does everyone in a 2002 or if they are all the same a grand prix hook up their gauge to come on with the ignition. I remember when i first got it, I tried hooking up the power wire to a switched 12v signal and everything on the dash came on as if i put the key on to run.... So... how do they do it? :lolsign:lol good show btw. TIA!

when u got it u shoulda got a spare wire with it fo the acc 12V.
Wat my brother did on his 03GTP he wired it to the radio's 12v (just strip the original and connect it to it) and it works fine with the car on and off, since the radio goes on and off with the car

It doesnt come on automatically? My room mate had one from the first batch and he just left it plugged into the OBD2 plug and it turned on and off with the car. My scanmaster does the same. Did they change something with it since then?

dangit i sure hope not! lol, that would suck. I thought that i could leave the thing plugged in too and it would come on and off, but noooo it has to be difficult! Anyone else? There is only 2 people on this entire site that have an aeroforce scan gauge?!?!? I highly doubt that...

I also hooked mine up to fuse box (radio). Left it plugged in to obd II. Came on with the turn of the key. Worked like a champ.

Mine came with my car (04 gtp) and its hooked up inside the AC vent. Look really good. Not sure about the power source but it does come on and off with the key. Its hooked up to the OBD2, which I though was its power source.

me too, its like mixed lol, some have the power wire hooked up to a switched 12v source and some have it just in the obd2 port lol, now i'm even more confused than i was before haha. dangit!

mine aslo has the seperate power source, since I have a 2000(this is the bitch year). I can unplug the obd2 and the gauge will go off, and it will go back on when I plug in the obd2(while the car is running. found this out at the emissions testing).
car off, gauge off
start car, gauge comes on

Its a cool gauge, but Im still glad I have a scanmaster. None of that whole power wire BS and I dont need a gauge pod.

if the power wire is beyond your skills>> :lolsign: OH-MY

the reason I bought this gauge IS because of the gauge pod fitment.

yeah but a gauge pod in a regal? The only pod going in my regal is the HUD pod

Nah, just a PITA. Gauge pods in Regals look blah as well.
