Thread: TM2 -where to mount the display?

Is that the one with the square face, or the oblong one?

I've got a square one sitting in a box here, but can't decide on a good place to fit it.

I think you've got the EMS one. Mine's a TM2 ENGINE WATCHDOG TM2, Engine Overheating Alarm, Gauge & Sensor.

I think I', just gonna mount it underneath the stereo on the original dash mount... for now. Might have a rethink if I get a Mudpod or something.

Ended up mounting it under the factory stereo dashpod, using velcro dots as a temporary solution.

Did mine recently together with 2 x heavy duty outlets and 2 x analog volt gauges. I have 2003 110.

For those interested I got the volt gauges ($17.50 ea ) from here

RGB Electronics (Australia)

They are connected directly (so on all the time) to the AUX and Main battery, I believe the current draw is about 5 - 8mA? Maybe less. They were also the smaller size I was after most of the gauges are 52mm. I will also be painting the screws enamel black...wish it was easier to get black screws.

The 12v sockets from a caravan supplies shop.

For the volt gauges I just used speaker wire with inline glass fuse (100mA) and piggybacked negative from one of the new power outlets. Used cheapy hole-saw (the blue set from bunnings) that was the perfect size.

The 2 power outlets I wired direct to battery with inline blade fuse (20A) and they share the same negative. Used hole saw and cleaned up with file.

The TM2 power is piggybacked off the original ciggy lighter (as most have done). Made a rough L-shaped bracket to secure bracket to the top of the TM2 unit (note: remove the 4 rubber bungs and remove the 4 screws to check that u dont put a screw into important bits, you need short,small screw) then fix bracket to the 2 screws just below the stereo. I have found
this installation to be quite strong and robust.

Everything seems to fit in there quite well . I should have got all the goodies at the same time though to save me pulling the dash apart 4-5 times. But loved every minute.
