I've spent a bit of time researching your problem on the ordinary internet and have found feck all really.Yup, though none solving my problem!
I expect the tacho will need a connection to the road speed indicator connection to the OBD2, but I don't know which one that is. Maybe your mate knows.
I hate electronics altho i am having to learn 'em as the wretched vehicle seems to spend a lot of its time thinking up new electronic problems.
I'm fine with mechanical stuff!
I wonder if @sierrafery might know as he is the whizz on D2s and especially the electronix.
