This was in reference to DZire petrol.
So petrol Tachometer is what needs to be installed

Both of you are giving different versions to buy. Please clarify which one works actually. Petrol tacho or diesel tacho ?
I was referring to the installation done on my Diesel Swift.

For Alto, the A-Star tachometer can work as the alto k10 and the erstwhile a-start used to share the same engine.

Will the Zen have the same engine speed (brown) wire as Swift? If someone can confirm, I'll take the plunge and do it this weekend!

It should. But please check the PS module and check if the wiring is common, else access a service manual to verify the signal before buying. It

Yes for the Alto, but not sure about the Kwid. Signals vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and its just the uniformity within manufacturer that enables this install on multiple cars.

For a 3 cylinder engine - ALTO, one can try installing A-star tachometer.
This is not required. They are cross compatible. Number of cylinders does not matter for the digital ones. The analogue ones which take the engine timing as reference have this issue.

Else, if you are planning to put an aftermarket tacho in Zen Mpfi,
You can tap the input to tachometer from ignition coil.
I had done as per below
In the below pic, marked in red.

Re: DIY installation: Ritz tachometer in a Swift LDi

How do we get rpm signals in a maruti gypsy?
I took the connection from the cam shaft sensor wire there's too much disturbance in the rpm signals
The reading isn't accurate and the metre isn't showing smooth rpm signals.
Then I removed the ECM and check for rpm signals and found a brown wire through which the rpm signals are fed into the ECM
Just took a testing pin and connected it to the tachometer there is no rpm signals
Can anyone help me out?

  • YELLOW/WHITE - Goes to the brown wire (T-Tap connector) of the Power Steering Unit
Any idea about the fuse tap size that is compatible with dashboard compartment fuse box?

I own a 2012 Ritz LXI. Took some pictures of the fuse and fuse box diagram from the cover.

12V +ve and backlight are to be fuse tapped? can you guide me on how to go about this based on the fuse diagram?
