    you only use one of the analogue o/p from the controller, to the analogue input in the DB gauge thing. You need to connect 12v and gnd to the DB gauge too.

    cheers scoff, i think its analogue output no.1 i need which in the book states :1.1V=14AFR and .1V?

    Analogue 2 is set as 0V = 7.35 AFR and 5 V.

    So i would only need 3 of the wires from the gauge. Which 3 though?

    you'll want the 0-5v output for wideband, the 0-1v will be narrow band simulation.

    No manual I presume? I found installation to be quite easy using the manual step by step...

    Red - Switched 12v,
    Black - Ground wire - connect to the same ground as the LC-1 white wire,
    White wire to LC-1 Brown,
    Yellow wire to a light activation source i.e. rear of OE clock or to headlight switch

    Or see manuals attached
