* This display of absolute pressure includes barometric pressure and may differ from a meter showing relative pressure (mechanical type).
* With the key in the ON position, due to altitude the boost needle may show a minus reading.
During the Opening Demo,
the needle will move
slightly to minus several
times. Then it will move to
the maximum value and
finally to reading for current

With our X2-M5 and 52X-BW, just by connecting to the diagnostic monitoring connector, the MINI specialized CAN communication can be
analyzed and two types of data can be simultaneously displayed. (Not for use with incompatible models)
Install by simply connecting to the diagnostic monitor connector and fuse box.
Metallic molded meter holder means reasonable pricing.
Newly designed lightweight meter holder with superior adhesion means less movement under vibration.
Uses same orange Illumination as that of standard meters.
The X2-M5 display switch is an easy-to install adhesive type.
If the boost limiter has been made inactive, the display may not function properly.

The X2-M5 can be installed on either the left or right.Only carry out the following instructions on the side being used.
①Remove the standard tachometer
Remove the screw from the hole at the
back of the tachometer.
*Put the bolt store in a safe place.
Line up the screw holes on the
original tachometer with the screw
holes on the meter hood and lightly
fasten with the double-sided tape.
*Do not press to strongly on the tape;
it may become difficult to remove.
When installing the 52X-BW please
make adjustments to line up the
meters on each side.
Unscrew the two screws (torque screw T30 x 2) from the base at the back of the tachom-
eter and remove it by pulling it forward. (As the wiring for the tachometer is connected to
inside the steering column it cannot be removed. Carry out all operations with the wiring
pulled out but connected.)
*Make sure not to lose any removed parts.
Affix the supplied meter hood to the back
of the standard tachometer.

Trouble Possible Causes Possible Solutions
Does not work with Engine start. Poor connection of meter cable, OBD connector or fuse.
If wiring has been direct to power the red wire may have
been improperly wired or there is a poor connection.
The unit has been installed into an incompatible car model.
The unit has been installed into an incompatible car model. Please check the “Fitting List”.
Please check the “Fitting List”.
The displayed values are different from the standard meter.
The opening demo works fine, but after that nothing happens.
Due to the ECU information received, the displayed values on this product may differ from those of stan-
dard or other meters.
This product’s boost meter reads absolute pressure and may differ from a meter using relative pressure.
Please reconfirm whether wiring and
connections are correct or not.
Poor connection of 2-pin connector.
The boost pressure display is different from the standard or
other meter.
The sensor for absolute pressure is subtracting for barometric pressure and hence the display shows
minus. (EX: Elevation of 700 meters = minus 8 kPa)
With the key in the ON position the boost needles points to a
minus reading.
This is due to a special characteristic of the meter and is not a malfunction.Before the opening demo starts the needle briefly moves.
I can’t change the display.
Because after changing modes, if the car’s engine is turned off within 3 seconds, the new setting will not
be stored, make sure to wait at least 3 seconds before turning the engine off.
Upon starting up, the unit will start in the newly
changed mode.
Please reconfirm whether wiring and
connections are correct or not.
