Okay so it should adjust for the tune and show my actual boost psi that the tune runs as well as added power from it and all that good stuff.

Correct, it will display the info reported from the DME (actual values).

Quick revision on Step 33 for 2017+ models, wire color has changed from GREEN/BLUE to YELLOW/BLUE. Pin position is still same as previous models.

2015-2016 - PIN3/CONNECTOR 10 = GREEN/BLUE
2017+ - PIN3/CONNECTOR 10 = YELLOW/BLUE

i have f83 2018, no pin 3 on con 10, help?

What pin is your GREEN/BLUE or YELLOW/BLUE wire? Can you show a pic of connector 10 complete with wires for me?

For those with 18+ models and zcp package, missing pin 3 on con 10, use the following...

Any confirmation that the awron can be used with a MP PSW on a ZCP car?

Awron and PSW cannot be used together as they use the same CAN address.

Just finish installing the Awron gauge.
Awron is working fine. Car is starting. Interior and exterior lights are working.
But i lost ac, stereo, lcd and hud. Trunk wont open too from key fob, handle and trunk release button switch. So, i can’t reset the battery.
I didn’t remove the battery during the install. I’m going to check the fuses tomorrow.
Any ideas what went wrong and what is the fix.
Appreciate all the inputs.

Most common mistake is miswiring the CAN lines (red/blue wires).

If the gauge is showing correct RPM/temps and all wires are verified in correct positions, check the FEM_BODY connectors are seated fully in place & double-check for bent pins. Sometimes a non-seated connector is verified by the AC blower remaining running while key is off.

Thanks Tom!
Main gauge rpm and temps are okay. Ac blower not running/no power. No power for the entire mid dashboard except the hazard button (works).
That will be the plan tomorrow, will double check each pin and connectors.

You're right! It was the CAN lines.
The white awron 2-pin wire connector is loose. Without the FEM body trim cover, it works fine. As soon as I put back the cover, I lost the connection again. I wrap the white pin connector with electrical tape to help hold it together and it now works perfectly.
Strange, this was a new gauge, the pin connector should have work flawlessly.

Do you have anything plugged into your OBD2 port?
