Default X-Monitor... Installed, but ???'s

Alright, so I installed my X-Monitor, I'll grab some pics of it tomorrow, mounted it on top of the steering column, and it looks great (just blocks the view of the WTS light). However, I bought the FP kit for it, and it says it needs a 5V source. So thats the first question, how do I drop from 12V to 5V?

Next, my monitor shows Trans Temp, which is not what I need, I need it to show FP. Will it automatically switch to FP once it reads the right voltage, or do I need to reprogram it somehow?

That is all...

Sounds like an electronics project that's going to involve a trip to Radio Shack.

WTF... Why can't they just give me what I need to begin with. This X-Monitor is dropping big time in my book.

Yeah, BigRig bought the TS monitor.

Big thanks to Red Rattler for noticing the MAP sensor is powered by 5V, so I can tap into that for power. Now I just gotta figure out how to change the display from Trans to FP. I'm not installing the FP kit until I install the AirDog I ordered.
