Look on migweb.co.uk sure there is a how2 etc detailing everything.

I want to try to work out how to fit one to my cav v6 auto. As its being built into a BTCC rep and it will look smart in the dash.

[Robsey]

Yep, it is do-able...

I have one in mine... see my W.I.P on page 1

To be honest, the fuel gauge and temp gauge are very vague

But it is nice at times to have something that isn't too common.

Is it worth the time and effort ? - initially yes, but now I have done it once, I wouldn't be arsed to do it again.

i have this in my turbo,hate the bugger after 6 years,want to put clocks back in now.

[Robsey]

Here are the clocks in mine.

Nice to be different, but they are like Marmite.. you either like them or loathe them.

[HAIRIBO]

I like!

theres anothe digi dash that came in a cav from factory thats a rear sight to see n find these days

[vauxtillidie]

had one in my corsa a long time ago great at the time not too keen on them now and as said gauges arent very accurate

Fitted to an Astra or Corsa from the looks of that picture too, I admit I prefer the Cavalier one to the Astra dash though.

Recently I bought this digi-dash vectra 2000 (cav GSI)


My problem is that I have no connectors included...
Does anyone knows if astra mk2 gte (kadett GSI) connectors are the same? I asked this, because they are easier to find...

[gsi pie]

im not to sure buddy

if you evr wana sell tha dash let me know asap

Pics of the back would be helpful... nice and high res

[specks]

may i ask how much you paid,£400 maybe

im pretty sure the connectors will be different to the gte ones,will probably look more like the cav style plugs,any chance of a picture of the back of the clocks so i can compare the plugs?

[boki_SRB]

I will take a pictures of back tomorrow (without connectors)....
This picture I found on internet


@specks I paid it 100€ (I know that she looks great but 400£ are too much for her) ,but I am not sure if it is working, and I think that another 100€ will be spent on speed sensor, Oil pressure sensor, and connectors (if they are not the same as on kadett gsi)

[Robsey]

From that image, it looks like you have

both the standard Cav connectors (Middle two connectors / slots)

the GTE digi dash white connector (far left)

and the cavalier check control blue socket connector (far right)

Enough to keep anyone busy installing this for a while

i wouldnt mind a digi dash, but i dont know anything about them and i dont want to start sonething and end up makeing a mess of it

[Robsey]

If it is an original Vectra-A (Euro-Cav 3) digi dash, then most of the plugs should matchup already (The middle two)

The blue Check control could be optional to wire up, but would require the fitment of the check contol unit behind the glove box.
Higher specification models would have this wired in already.

The 26 pin white plug.. well that should be easy enough to get the pin-out from Haynes.

Do note though, that if you have a GSi style fuel computer, then you would have to move the petrol tank sender wire to an alternative pin within the yellow plug.

Finally, note also that the Digi Dash was only sold as an option in mainland europe, so all units will be in metric - kilometres, litres etc..

This would need reprogramming with Tech 1 - You could reprogram your GSi computer whilst you are at it, as some memory numbers are unit (metric / imperial) dependent

Not for the faint hearted when it comes to the wiring / electronics.
but at least it will just fit into the dash pod.

The Astra GTE cluster requires some silly cutting, shutting and glueing to make a tidy job of it.

I forgot yesterday to take a pictures, but I will do it right now....
@Robsey
I have some diagrams, but I have to find damn connectors, only white connector and bigger connector in middle needs to be connected for proper working (I have no check control in my car)...


P.S. Sorry if my english is not so great

Your english is pretty damn good chap... better than mine in some cases, and it's my first language

[boki_SRB]

My friend just told me that I can use standard Bord Computer connector, only I need to rearrange order of pins
Now I only need the proper sensor for my F16
