Mine does not have anything in this slot. Is this and issue?

Update - All up and running. Does not seem to have impacted.

Most euro cars will not have the wire there. You are good.

I signed up Friday. As of this morning, MHD on my phone says v1.66 (supposedly 1.7 is the beta?). There are no updates in the play store. I've been on MHD for about 18 months. Signup says I'm a tester and play store says I'm a beta tester. Any ideas?

Uninstall your current version then check the play store again

Yup. Did that twice. No luck. Says v1.66, but says I'm in beta program. Rebooted phone on second install for giggles. No luck.

@jyamona .

Can a fuel-it flex fuel analyser be wired directly into the dme to read E content with the new software

How if so ?

Which analyser if so ?

I just want to be able to see E content in the logs if possible.

Any reason you don't just use the built in capability?

Exactly. Seems like something always popping up that I want to power. I believe this is called Term 15 (powers on with ignition only, engine not started)

Be careful how many things you power there off a single orange wire, they supply the coils and injectors.

I'm stumped on connecting the fuel line. Is it supposed to be a direct fit to the stock line?

I removed the stock line from the where it runs up into the engine bay and connects to a vapor filter.

Im confused on how to install the power wire from the flex fuel box. Do i use the posi tab to tap into the orange power wire directly?

Yep, thank you.
So this is a little embarrassing but I will share so no one else does this. There is a vacuum line that runs next to the fuel line. This is what I originally pulled and was confused about how it connects since it never could :) Anyway the vacuum line is the one towards the outside of the car.

For the power wire, use the posi to tap the power wire that is in the DME box all the way to the front. There is only two wire connected there.

Thanks for post this. No reason to be embarrassed - we all do something the first time.

I’ve done stupid things too. I think I’ll start a “Doh!” thread. :eek:

I struggled to work out how to install the sensor and hose until I found that post and looked up the part on realoem. It would be nice if motiv had even a basic guide to point novices like me in the right direction
