I recently installed a wideband in my s1 c34 stagea. I cut the power and earth from the clock and used those. Now my problem is, now my dash doesn't store the trip a and trip b kms traveled, it just wipes it every time I turn the car off. Is the memory for that run through the clock loom somehow?

they don't have to be run through a relay. It is just like wiring any other gauge or head unit. a afr gauge is not going to draw that much current to warrant a brand new power run from the battery.

using the clock is a interesting one for a power source. the fuse probably blew while he was tampering with the wires.

my innovate diagram said to specifically run through a relay. along with everyone with an innovate

here is the install from the manual. If you read carefully it does not say you "must" use a relay. Says if in doubt. And draws 3 amp, your cigarette lighter draws more lol

Connect the RED wire to an isolated switched 12V source in your vehicle. A switched 12V source goes ON as soon as “key on” power is active. The circuit to which you will pull power from should be able to support a 3 amp draw. Make sure this connection is protected with a 5A fuse.

Circuits that share power with the vehicle’s stereo, ignition system, ECU, lighting, or fuel pump should not be used. When in doubt, create an additional circuit using an automotive relay available at any automotive parts supplier. See the next section for a relay installation diagram.

The BLACK wire should be grounded to a solid ground source. The best possible ground source would be the battery ground (-) post.

Yeah hadouken I must have done it when I was moving wires about when I was in there with the test light. That circuit has a 10A fuse, and given the wiring was already there and that's where I wanted to mount my afr display anyway, it made sense to tap into it. And as I've already found out, if it does trip the fuse, only the trip reading and clock are affected so I can still drive the car.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
