You need to wire it into car.Which isnt that bad if you know anything about electics.
Fitting is easy enough or i can supply it ready to go in A sapphire clock surround but would still require wiring sorting out.

My name is STRETCH NOT Sketch

The speed sensor plugs into existing cable And is as accurate as my snooper s4 and road angel i have had in car.

You can always wire up an ABS light off existing wiring as i will be doing once i find a new dashboard.Complete with new light for battery and oil light.

i assume the revcounter is configurable so i cn run it on a 6cyl? and does it cme with its own sub-loom or do i have to remake all the wiring to the back of the unit?

does it have any warning light functions?

is there a website or something i can look at?

Rev counter will work with 4 6 and 8 cylinder cars.

I used original wiring and a few new ones.Easy enough if you know electrics.

Only warning lights are indicators and main beam.Battery flashes if either low or high.
