How do you install the engine tachometer in the Smart 453?

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Instrument cluster

Great video, clear in highlighting the steps to be taken to carry out the work and equally clear in the verbal description. The area of interest is the left side of the dashboard, specifically the two air vents, both to be removed in order to install the tachometer and connect the power cables. With a flathead screwdriver, the grilles of the vents are removed, the left end of the dashboard is opened, removing the screws with a Phillips screwdriver and creating the necessary access for the positioning of the aforementioned tachometer. A very simple job.
