Since EvoMoto's tech site is offline now, I was wondering if anyone out there knew exactly what wires to tap to install the control box for Defi BF series.

So far I know 3 of the 4 wires:

Ignition = Pinout 82
Ground = Pinout 13 or 26
Power = Pinout 80

Now we tried to use Pinout 12 for the "illumination" wire but it doesnt seem to auto-dim when the lights are turned on. Any ideas on this?

Anyone want to make a complete Defi BF install guide for the Evo?

ECU pinouts

 

Just use a volt meter. It is really easy to tell which wire is which -- at least when you are tapping the radio wiring harness.

 

I used the cigeret lighter and radio harness

 

Well I am not electrically inclined. Does anyone know which wire to use for the "illumination" wire (white) ?

 

This is one that I used.

It is not hard. Pull out the radio harness and use a volt meter to check each pin -- red to pin, black to ground. One wire will be always hot, i.e. 12 V (power), one wire will be hot when the ignition is on and off when the ignition is off (ignition), one wire will be hot when the ignition and the lights are on and off when either is turned off (illumination). Quite simple and logical.

You have now identified all the appropriate wires and don't need to trust some random information on the internet.

 

I have an aftermarket face and when ever i connect the power wire to the 12v source for the radio the gauge works but the radio doesnt...anyone know how to solve this?

 

having trouble getting this to work...i wired everything like it said in the write up but still no go...anyone have some advice?

EDIT: Sorry didnt read all your posts, I though you were having a problem with the dimming control.

There is an ajustment on the box for the dimming. Turn on your lights then on the control box two of the buttons ( i think the arrow buttons) adjust the dimess and the highest setting is just as bright as when the lights are off. I think this is your problem. Hope this helps.

 

thanx for the input but my problem is the gauge doesnt work...the control unit lights up but the gauge doesnt work

 

is the gauge warning light blinking at all????

 

I have the same problem. The control unit lights up but the gauge doesnt. Anyone?
