I installed this tach on a 2007 Toyota Yaris with manual transmission. Connection was simple, involving only 4 wiring connections (red wire to 12 volt "+" at ignition switch, black wire to chassis bolt under dash, white wire to dashboard lighting circuit, and green wire to Tach Signal wire at OBD-II connector). Product does not come with wire taps, you have to buy your own or use wire nuts or solder the splices. The tach mounts via a 1" square, flat pedestal that has holes for three #8 sheet metal screws, or you can use the included double-sided adhesive pad.The movement of this tach seems to be very smooth and precise. At $68, it is twice as expensive as the equivalent Sunpro tach, but I wanted full scale of 6000 rpm, not the 8000 rpm that was the only type offered by Sunpro, so I went with this unit. Build quality seems very good, consistent with the $68 price.The instruction booklet for connecting the tach is not very detailed. The instructions suggest that the product can be used on "most" types of electronic and CDI ignitions, and older point-and-coil ignitions. This tach can NOT be used on "magneto" type ignitions, which includes most recip airplane engines and smaller outboard boat motors (typically 25 hp or less). There is a three position switch on the back of the unit for selecting 4, 6 or 8 cylinders. This implies that the tach would probably give an incorrect reading on other engines, for example 3 cylinder Honda Insights, or the new-for-2008 5 cylinder Volkswagen Rabbit.UPDATE: September 2012Have now had this tach installed for five years (55,000 miles) in the Yaris, and it's still functioning perfectly.

Good tach for people who don't need an 8k.Wanted a 6k for my older V8. Made for mounting on horizontal surface like dash so had to fabricate mount for my use.

Purchased this Tachometer to install on my Dodge Ram van 5.2 L V/8 w/o.d. Reads very accurate..because of it's smaller in diameter size you can just about mount it anywhere. mounted mine on steering wheel column and still have great visibility of the stock instrument cluster gauges. the larger model would have partially blockedthe stock gauges. I give this Tachometer a thumbs Up Rating! Recommended product.TABJR Huntsville,AL
