5.  Begin with the speedometer installation, located in 

the left side opening in the factory dash.  Cut three 
pieces of the supplied foam tape, 

2” long. Install 

foam strips on the top and sides of each opening 
about ½” down from the face of the housing.  This 
foam provides a cushion for the new VHX cans 
and forms a tight, rattle-free fit. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

6.  The speed gauge has two CAT5 ports on the back side. Connect 

the 24” CAT5 cable to either 

port and one of the 

36” CAT5 cables to the other port. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

7.  Remove the protective lens tape and insert the VHX 

speedometer

 into the 

left

 side of the factory 

housing. You will need to fold the CAT5 cables and route them through the opening where the 
original indicator lights were mounted in order to get the VHX bezel to sit flush with the housing. 
As the gauge goes in, route the CAT5 cables through the opening in the bottom of the housing, 
keeping in mind the 

24” cable needs to be routed to the other side where it will connect to the 

tachometer.

before installing so unit will sit
