Ultragauge installation
My gauge arrived today and is all fine but one thing I didn’t consider was the obdii plug. Am I missing something obvious or do I just need to cut a hole in the fuse box cover to make it fit as it were?

Thanks in advance….

Personally, I would not cut it - the cover is quite easy to remove.

You can also remove the obdii port from its bracket and kind of push it back in the dash with the untragauge plugged in, then close the cover Roaming around 🇳🇴🇨🇭

Thanks I’ll take another look at it and yep the cover comes off ok so was just speaking of refitting it with the gauge plugged in.

Just buy a 90 degree OBD extension cable - allows the fuse box lid to clip back as normal. Rgds.
