4th Cell/VR3 Connection?

TechWreck · 10th April 2007, 04:22

As we all know, the Ouroboros O2 sensor bay accomodates a fourth O2 sensor and (in my unit) even has the pin to plug into this auxilliary sensor. The debate about the usefullness of this option notwithstanding, I do want to implement it. So my questions is: does anybody know where the cable for this fourth cell output terminates? And if so, is there a way to extricate it and configure to connect to a VR3? This would afford an independent real-time PO2 read-out for an additional level of redundancy.
Again I do not wish to debate the efficacy of this option (I am willing to concede that this is a case of 'overkill'

and paranoia), but, be that as it may, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to how this modification could best be accomplished.

Hello

was told me, the pin conector will be for kind off future co2 sensor.

cheers

I would call the factory....I'm sure they'll give you the correct answer. But I think it goes back to the pod. Please post your findings. I think it's a great idea for a second VR3. Never have all your cookies in one jar and many options to bail yourself out. I think thats smart diving! Like Jose I herd it's for a co2 sensor.
Good Luck Frankie
