Hey
After having installed RS2 Recaro front seats in my 3b (thx to you guys, although the seat heating is still in progress.. bought a loom from a s2 thats gonna be converted to some kind of rally-car) and the RS2 speedo (300km/h!! ;>), I'm going for the RS2 Aux Gauges... of course it ain't a straight/bolt on kinda job... ! <;
Has anyone attempted this? the 3B (at least mine) has got a different set of connectors than the ABY/RS2... the RS2 has a white 6pin, male, connector soldered on a pcb while each of the 3B Aux Gauges has 2 connectors, one with 2pins for the gauge "function" and another one for the light bulb...
However... between the (3x) 3B Aux Gauges and the loom itself there is an intersection of one female 5pin connector/one male white 6pin connector where the female connector is a straight fit for the soldered on RS2 6pin connector (ie, there is a pin thats not connected through this intersection)... exept that this connector is on the (3x) 3B Aux Gauge side of the loom and not the "car's" side.. ie. i can't fit it into the RS2 Aux Gauge panel without switching it over... an attempt to illustrate:
And furthermore the 3B loom passes by a VDO relay thats "hidden" behind the ashtray inside the center console part of the dash, what does it do? is it needed in the conversion? on the relay it just says: VDO <partnumber>, 58B - 58b - 58.
Does one just make an adapter for the 3B 6pin loom-side connector -> RS2 Aux Gauge panel? or? Please guys, help!! <; before I go and fu*k it up <:.................
