Default XFI Datalogger - Enable Wire?

Jack,

Two questions:
1. I see one wire in the harness that is labeled Datalog Enable. The manual mentions two wires...one to turn it on, one to start it running. Will the one wire (pink?) do both? I understand it just has to be grounded to do it's magic.
2. The two black ground wires...can I ground them to the nearest ground (dash) or do I need to run a ground to the frame?

Conrad

1. Looks pretty simple, power wire to one side of a toggle switch, pink wire to the other. Toggle voltage to the pink wire and logging is ready to go , waiting on preset trigger to begin, like 50% TPS... or whatever you want to use to start the recording.. is that clearer..

2. 2 black wires to ground, I usually ground them on the dashboard where the stock grounds are for the stock harness. You'll find the ground just above the stock computor location..
