(edit: title should read Marks Adaptors )

Yeah,

As the title states, I will fitting mine this weekend and was wondering where other hilux owners have fitted theirs if they have them?

I was thinking just quickly looking at the hilux, that I might remove the glovebox and fit it behind it somewhere.

any ideas?:oops: :oops:

I have one but have not fitted it yet.

Mmaxx,

Can you please let me know what model box you have?

I spoke to them the other week and they wanted me to work out how many wires go to the speedo, I have 5 speed auto.

by **Hilux Max** on Fri, 27 Jul 2007 11:16 +0000

Stoney,

The model box I have is -

MKF1180U

and you have 3 wires that come off the speedo plug/sensor on your gearbox

by **StoneySR05** on Sat, 28 Jul 2007 12:29 +0000

Thanks,

Let us know how you go fitting it.

Heres my old one

under the carpet to the left of the foot rest almost on top of the tunnel

by **badboymatt** on Sun, 29 Jul 2007 3:46 +0000

what do these do
???

by **Doug67** on Sun, 29 Jul 2007 4:05 +0000

Correct your speepo when fitting big tyres.

by **Hilux Max** on Mon, 30 Jul 2007 3:46 +0000

may I ask where did you run the wires through the body to underneath where the sensor wires are hooked up?

by **Danlux** on Mon, 30 Jul 2007 5:20 +0000

drilled a hole through the tunnel and used a rubber grommet and some silicone to seal it up

by **Hilux Max** on Mon, 30 Jul 2007 7:11 +0000

Thanks Dan, thats what I had inmind anyway, just wanted to see what someone elses opinion was. I did the same thing with me last hilux, underneath the centre console.

by **Danlux** on Mon, 30 Jul 2007 9:49 +0000

Second thought is can you track down the wire under the dash, saves drilling a hole in the tunnel :-)

Dan,

I took some of your advice today.....

I fitted the Speedo Ratio Box and tested out the connector on the gearbox and found which wire was the pulse wire.

I then removed the oddometer cluster and checked out the spaghetti that was the wiring behind it.

Found the wire which I was "pretty sure" was the one, (pink with blue stripe)

And then cautiously cut it. (I wouldnt make a good bomb defuser)

Wired in the wiring and took her for a drive to test it out before I put it all back together again.

Works fine, no need to run wiring through the body to underneath the vehicle and Im spewing I never did it like that with me last hilux.

Anyway, I fitted the unit just above the drivers footrest and screwed it into the cooling unit and nicely tucked all the wiring out of the way and checked to make sure under normal driving whether my foot would hit it.

Job well done for once

by **Danlux** on Tue, 31 Jul 2007 4:43 +0000

excellent

Can you easily see what setting the switch is on? That was one of the reasons I didn't screw mine down, so I could pull it out if I needed to change it.

by **Hilux Max** on Wed, 01 Aug 2007 7:02 +0000

yeah, I just need to stick my head under the dash/ Will post picks when get time.

by **Doug67** on Wed, 01 Aug 2007 7:06 +0000

mmaaxx

What's wrong looks like your taking a breath, your sure slowing down this build up. The way you where going I thought you where going to be finished in a couple of weeks.

by **Hilux Max** on Wed, 01 Aug 2007 5:02 +0000

finished? in a couple of weeks?

the cars never finished....alwasy something you can do to her ;)

will be trying to chase up a bullbar of sorts next.

by **scotty** on Tue, 19 Aug 2008 6:53 +0000

So do these units come pre programmed?

Scotty

by **scotty** on Sat, 30 Aug 2008 6:29 +0000

Well i got my adaptor box today. Is it easy to locate the wires you have to join into. I now see how you program them.
cheers

Well had a look at wiring up my adaptor box today, seems a bit harder than i first thought. Can anyone tell me which wire the red , the brown , and blue connect into, i have read that one of the wires gets connected to the wire with pink with blue stripes. And where are they located inside the cab, i had a look but so many wires . Another thing , when i cut the wires do i join it back together with the new wire?

Any help would be great.

Scotty
