Can A-star's RPM gauge be programmed to work with M800?

I was searching for an RPM gauge for my M800 and came to know through a Tbhpian that A-Star's rpm gauge might work with a 3cylinder car, So technically it should work with an M800, So my question here is, Is it possible to make it work with my M800?
How can one program it to work with a 3Cylinder car?

Can some one help me out?

A-stars tacho runs off the ECU so you dont need cylinder settings, As far as i know cyl setting come into play when you run them off the ignition coil.

I can be wrong. Let the experts confirm this.

But yes im sure the same tacho is being used in RITZ as well so it has multiple cyl setting, I have seen people run it in a SWIFT and Wagon R too..

The same tacho is being used with Ritz, Even ritz is a 4cylinder car, Swift also is a 4 cylinder car, And people using it on a swift are powering it through the ignition coil i suppose.
How can i power this gauge from the ECU?

There are many threads that will update you to the details.

I would stay away from the ECU/ECM ? one mistake could cost you a 10 to 20K.

Swift has DUAL ignition coils, Are you sure that A-STAR tacho was connected via ignition coils?

Why dont to go to a MASS and ask them the spec's and installation chances in your car?
