defi genomi sti boost gauge

[Cloud]

Have one of these seems to work ok but for the life of me i cant work out how to use the peak and hold function and the record and playback function, I can set the warning light to go off at the desired boost level but when I switch the car off it does not save the setting and the warning goes back to 1 bar, which is way to low and its a pain to set it all the time to my desred setting. It has constant power at the controll unit.. Also the gauge seems to read slightly high . Any ideas ?

Maybe you wired the accessory and power over incorrectly for it not to store.

For example: red is 12v access and yellow is 12v constant (don't quote me on that)

I concur, your 12volt permanent feed isn't hooked up properly

Sorry to hijack but I got an apexi EL mechanical from a member on here.

All it has is a yellow and black wire , plus boost tube obviously.

My thoughts were that:

yellow = permanent 12v

black = earth

Thoughts?

If you cbf pulling it all apart and can access spotlight switch easily you can link it to that which I did.

Pretty effective.

[ODB]

so just link to lights you reckon?

Yeah could be a go.

I want to position it in front of park light switch so i can see it between rpm and speedometers.

wiring seems correct to the controll unit might rip it out and put a mechanical gauge in

[reaperblitz]

Hopefully it isnt a copy or a faulty controller

I just quickly put together this short how to vid explaining the operation of recording and playback using the Subaru STi GeNOME boost gauge as it's not too straight forward to work out.

Cheers will try this way!

Mate you are a legend play back works!.. any chance you know how to get the warning light to reset I push the select button and set it with up and down and it stay on that setting untill I turn car off and it goes back to the 1bar setting wheres I want it to stay at 1.3-1.4 . Get a bit annoying having the light flash if i forget to set it all the time

It sounds like what was said above, you don't have the permanent 12v hooked up to a constant 12v feed? So the control unit is losing its settings when you turn the car off, reverts to standard settings (which must be a warn setting of 1bar). I have my warning set to 1.3bar and it remains at that after restarting the car. It doesn't sound like your control unit is fuct if you're having success with the recording and playback.

Also, if you didn't know, there is a factory harness/plug connector already under the dash which you plug the sti genome control unit into (if you get an original uncut power harness). So, if you power harness HAS been cut, you can wire it into this waiting plug/connhector/harness. It's a white connector from memory, kinda near your right knee under the dash.

Check the white plug here -

has a subaru specific plug - controller plugs in the bottom of dash - where it gets the power and acc light wiring etc - basically no cutting and slicing of loom
