This is how i did mine according to this discreption below.

1. Before you do anything move your tachometer all over, and choose the location you wish to put it, you will want to pick a location easily viewable while driving, but will not block your view of the road or other gauges. ~Pics coming soon~
2. Look under the passengers seat. Either move the seat all the way foward OR take the seat off by removing the 4 bolts connecting it to your car floor.
3. Locate the ECM/PCM under the Passenger side seat.
4. Remove the plastic cover from the ECM/PCM

5. Locate the wire plugs, there are three wire bunches going into three connectors that plug into the ECM/PCM unit.
6. From the three wire bunches locate the middle wire bunch this is the bunch you will be working with
7. There will be two rows of wires in that wire bunch, one on top and one on bottom, locate the bottom row as this will be the row you will pull from.
8. Locate the Green wire with the black stripe on it(approximatly 7th from the right) this is the wire you will be working with.
9. connect a parallel splice connector to this wire or if you are brave cut and splice the wire hookup onto this wire.
10. From there simply locate a 12v power source for power, we chose to splice off the radios 12v input, and recommend that you do not do this, overloading that power line too many times caused it to overheat and melt!!!

11. Hookup the ground cable to a proper grounding source of your choice.
12. Hookup the light wire for your tachometers backlight if it has one. you can hook this up to a switch so it lights up with aq flick of a switch, or you could hook it up to turn on with your lights.
13. mount your tachometer in its location and test it out.

By ECM do you mean ECU, because in my car, my ecu is in the footwell of the drivers side, i have no ECM under the passenger seat....how did you find out to use this wire?

And your ECU was under the passenger seat? Does the one single wire give you the full signal? Did you use a diode at all?

Was your ECU under the passenger seat or driver footwells and did you use a diode?

Can you remember what position the wire was, for example D10 etc? Did you open up the ecu like the info said?
