I'm gonna have a bash at fitting my digi dash tommorow as its my day off.
I have one of these digi dash's thanks to Smart Corsa 
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=287998
So its all fitted nice into a Corsa surround and ust needs wiring in.
i know there is the tutorials guide but was just seeing if there is any tips on fitting it, and fitting the gfearbox sender, i'm at work right now so will get pics of the wiring later, but is there any tips out there 
Essay over 
Here's a few pics of what i have to work with, hy is there so many wires?
Which ones do i use, and where does that gearbox sender plug in and where does the other end go to?







Ps sorry for crap pics

wiring is a straight colour match mate, bar a few. but a quick google search'll sort that, gearbox sender screws straight on in place of the cable... black is live, brown is earth and red/blue is speed signal to dash

the indicators will need wiring into the actual indicators rather than the switch, even though the wires are there it shorts out the relay or something

Ok i have disconnected the battery and took the clock's out, i am left with this plug.




What do i do next, do i strip the wires off this plug and put terminals on them. There isnt much play on the wires at all

I've tried but its uber tight, just like all the looms in my car 
Do i need to strip all the wires from this plug then?

ok ive noticed there are two black wires in the corsa loom, so do i connect the four in the digi loom to one block, and then run a spare wire from that to each of the black wires in corsa loom?
