You will need to run a data cable from the instrument cluster, to the Trip computer plug.....
Not that hard, you should be a ble to knock it off within 30Mins to 1Hour

Seeing as your asking about this mod, you might want to have a look at the modifications section......

In particular, have a read on the Adding a Trip computer to an EF/EL Falcon..... It has all the answers to the questions that you seek

Nah I did'nt I had it installed the cars an EL. But it goes in to a harness does it not? and only a single wire for the trip side so my average fuel would not be working as well if it was that wire...
