Dear ALL

Request you to let me know if i can connect a Digital speedo to my Swift, Basicaly i need to know which wire sends signals to the digital speedo.

Regards
Tabrez

Do u mean digital speedo as in the civic??
If your normal speedo is the electronic type, can't the signal be taken from there??

[NetfreakBombay]

IF you are looking at adding additional Speedo, then you might be able to get signals from OBD II port and attach OBD reader that displays RPM/Speed.

Frankly speak i have got a HUD display, in that there is a wire which has to go to the Speedo. And mine is Swift,

Any technical experts comments on this ?

the OBD on the swift and most of the suzuki's really suck!!
I think the baleno is the only exception..
so OBD option is out....

hey tabrez02 do mean speedo or rev counter [tachometer] if it a tach than you can get the input from the original tach input, for the speedo there has to be electronic speedo in the first place as oem then you can connect to that wiring itself. or you will have to get the sensors and other associated components from the place you got the unit. or make one .

I've seen some Swifts with electronic speedos fitted. And they all were working fine. Maybe they aren't accurate to the core.
Get in touch with Viper! I've seen him helping out another bhpian fit one in his Swift.
You can also get help from V16. He has one in his Swift too.

I don't have first hand experience with OBD, but its supposed to be a requirement for any card to be sold in EU. So its strange that Suzuki will not implement it properly in swift.

Zak - He has a digital tacho not a speedo.

For speed reading one will need senors on the wheels or the drive shaft, nothing with OBD, unless the car is equipped with ABS.

My friend redfire's swift doesn't have ABS, but he has got a central locking system which will lock all the doors if the car exceeds 20kmph. So if that has to work then definitely an electronic signal regarding speed is provided by the ECU to the central locking control unit.

In that case it should be possible to connect an electronic speedo to that source. ECU geeks and tuners may be able to provide more information here in this thread.

The best person to answer this will be RDKarthik as he know what all the ECU controls and also he has the wiring diagrams for it.

The Ecu will give a output at a set speed to the central locking , for speed sensing one will need a proper speed senor, that give the output proportional to the speed of the car. That to the system will need to be hacked before the ecm and senor placed there[ if the speedo on the car is electronic in the first place like I mentioned], the output will not appear at the OBD.

What brand and model HUD is this?

[babhishek]

check it out on a friend's car.. I am talking of the Indian swift. to top it off the MASS mechanics don't even know where the OBD port is.
Bought an OBD II unit and had to sell it off. Tested it in my Swift, friend's swift, alto zen and Esteem.
