One end of ScanGauge cable is normally fitted directly to OBD II connector (located inside Puma, behind left side trim, under flap below petrol “badge”):
OBD II connector (trim removed for clarity):
When just connected, it will protrude and can be “kicked” by feet (trim removed for clarity):
To avoid this happening, I removed part of door seal, pulled back trim, removed 2 hexagon head screws and released the metal bracket holding OBD II connector:
Bracket reversed and 2 screws (cross-head) removed, which were securing OBD II connector bracket to body:
OBD II connector removed from bracket:
Manipulated OBD II connector behind wiring harness and attached ScanGauge connector:
Replaced two bracket crosshead screws and re-attached bracket (saves losing them if needing to reattach OBD II connector later):
Threaded ScanGauge cable behind trim, along footwell carpet (just drops behind top of carpet) and then through under ashtray (easier to do if ashtray is removed first):
Connected ScanGauge and replaced ashtray. Positioned ScanGauge using supplied Velcro (gauge wedges fairly tightly between edge of gearlever trim/console and ashtray hinge), using just loop Velcro at bottom and just hook Velcro at top:
No sign of fitting at OBD II connector site, once trim replaced:
Initially, I tried to fit the gauge inside the ashtray so that I could hide it, but it wouldn't fit, even with all this cut away!
