I'm just looking at the wiring diagram for the NEO,

if you can skip to page 7, vehicles with vtec.

For those that might be familiar, where do I get the splice from the orange(bottom) wire??

It'll be whatever you want to use to light up the display.

Personally, I'd put it to your IGN wire .. that way it'll light up with the keys.

You *could* put it into the loom for the headlights, so it lights up once you put the lights on. But for me, that's running a wire a long way for not much gain.

Sorry to ask a silly question but does that ignition wire run into the ECU too?

I may find a wiring diagram...

There should be a 2nd manual with the NEO.

One for specific cars.

If not, have a look for the VAFC II one on their (Apexi USA's) site.

H6-a - Page 6.

IG-Power.

(H14-a page 37 of the manual you posted).

I assume that's what you were after?

I'd fire the car up and then make the connection (by hand) and see what it does, and disconnect and see what it does. Make sure it's working as you'd like before permi fixing the wires.

Cheers Bibbs,

I already have two wires to connect in parallel to the IG power ECU wire, a red plus a red and white wire.

This orange wire is for illumination power, I'm not really sure what this means, backlighting at night?

Did you buy the harness with the unit ? when i installed mine i used the harness was a lot easier.
Good luck m8.

got mine on the Rolling Road i think i got about 10 - 15BHP will have to check. after tuning.

I didn't buy the plug and play harness seperately for the unit, just the harness that comes with it, ready for splicing to the cars harness.

Bibbs

Yeah .. that's what I'm thinking.

In an ideal world you'd tap it into the dash lights.

So when the dash is bright, the Neo is bright. When the dash dims (when running lights) the Neo dims.

But that means running wire from the ECU (where your loom is) under the carpet, behind the stereo and then up behind the clocks somewhere.

I'm sure someone will know where. Prop on the US forums.

But that can all be done later.

I'd tap it into the IG so you can see it and use it for the time being.

Cheers, IG wire it is, I'll come back with the results later......
