Knock sensor on Subaru WRX V6

Hi community,

I've been using my G4X in my Subaru WRX V6 on E85 only so I didn't used the knock sensor yet but now I would like to make it work. If I'm right, the plugin G4X isn't compatible with the original sensor.

What should I do to connect the factory sensor to the ECU?

Do you have any tips for the calibration?

You cant listen to it, that is not how ECU knock control works.  The knock sensor is connected to the ECU and is used by the knock control strategy to try to determine when the engine is knocking.  To set the knock control function up and tune it so it can reliably detect knock needs a reasonably level of experience and generally is verified in conjunction with a standalone audio knock detection device.  It sounds like you will need to get a tuner involved if you want knock control.
