Well i had an attempt today at finaly fixing my speedo.
And read over the wiring diagram again and still no luck.
Has anyone had any luck finding the right wire with a VS V8 Manual????

yeh mate I did it a couple of months ago. not as easy as the autos. ours have the violet/white wire running from the ecu and then it splices off at another loom probably about a foot away from the ecu behind the glove box. you need to get to that loom and cut the wire running towards the dash, it looks pretty obvious once you've pulled the glove box out. here is a link to the info I used.

yeh thats right. follow the violet/white wire from the ecu up behind the dash and it goes into another loom. that loom has the signal coming one way from the sensor and runs to the ecu (the one you followed up), and then the wire also splices off that loom which runs the signal to the dash as well. hope that makes sense!

Found it straight away when i took the glovebox out thanks heaps for that mate.

But now i have a problem.... its the right wire and all. So i plugged the gadget in and was ready to set it up... this is what happened...

I set S1 to 2
S2 to A
installed LK2
Drove the car, it recognised the signal and the led was flashing when i was driving.

Set S2 to 0
Set S1 to 0

This is where speedo should return to normal, by trying LK3 LK4 or LK5.... but none of those do anything, speedo still doesnt work?!?!

PLEASE HELP ME~!~!

I just installed mine and works fine....... have mine on LK2 and LK3 and works perfectly :)
(at the beginning i didn't have both of them on, took it off lk2 and put it on lk3 then was wondering wtf was going on...... then realised i needed both, im such a noob sometimes lol)
