Install PP Gauges on Non-PP Model - Recap

[Bnewell101]

I have a late year 2015 (vin claims 2016 production date is 8/15) GT premium and apparently I also do not have the plug and play wire for the gauges. Has anyone run into this and found the wire elsewhere in the dash? I'd like to avoid splicing as much as possible but I don't particularly want to go on a wild goose chase for a non existent wire

can you post a more clearer pic?

what happens if you stick small screwdriver through the square hole in the plastic structure behind screen, does it go all the way through? did you stick your hand behind the plastic structure to see if the wire fell out of square hole? not saying your wrong but I would be suprised if you don't have the wire on 17 gt premium.

Here’s a better pic. Not all GT premiums have the connector. I found out the hard way.

Ok I was told today that SCT tuners can't turn them on, only hptuners. Can anyone verify this?

My Tunes from Lund and AED are both for my SCT X4 Tuner and the gauges were enabled to work by both of them. They also have a feature where you can add the gear that the transmission is in to show all the time, for the analog cluster from both Tuners.

I have a clean 2018 GT PP1 dash board set up for $350 if interested.

I have a 17 GT and it was there. End result but I used GT350 gauges better set up.

I have a 2016 Ecoboost and the wire with plug attached was already there. It was tucked behind the radio, clipped behind a panel. The early part of this this thread shows exactly where it is. Once I plugged it in my boost gauge immediately worked and I needed a local tuner to change a setting for the oil pressure gauge to work.

Is your car a GT model?

Posted this earlier....Does anybody know if the PP gauges are plug and play on a base 18 GT?

Yes. I'm in the middle of doing mine. I bought the gauge, and it worked immediately with no tune. It may need calibration though...not sure.

So it does have the connector behind the radio area, correct? Thanks!

Yes, behind the black Synch module.

I think I’m getting this right from reading this thread and others. So on a 19 GT base I would need (in brief):

New “4 hole” dash panel/insert
Block middle vent
Gauge pack
Fish the lead from behind the sync/stereo/dash
Maybe at tune to activate one or both

Correct?

Thanks so much in advance!
