Default pectel monitor owners with P8 management..... read on

does the ECU need modding / programming to talk to the monitor?

or should it just be plug and play ?

im getting a no communication to ECU message on the monitor

If it`s a genuine Pectel monitor i presume it will need pectel software in the ecu....

My P8 (without Pectel board) needed something "switched on" on the chip whilst being mapped to work my monitor.

Ahmed/Harvey supplied chips usually have datastream switched on (software) but as Markk points out, the P8 ECU board will need a slight 'hardware' mod, which Harvey can do for you.
