Aftermarket temp gauge

Aftermarket temp gauge
I did a head gasket job on my 02 disco back in December, she has 165,000+ on so I figure it was time. That job went well, and from reading on here about the dummy light I decided to add an aftermarket temp gauge made by Bosch. It seemed to be pretty straightforward coming out of the package. It has 3 posts on the backside, one for 12v,one for ground and one for the temp sensor (sending unit). I thought I could get away with tapping into the existing sending unit wires, and the gauge worked except it triggered a trouble code and the red dummy light lit up and the needle never rose above cold. So I undid the wiring to the new gauge and everything went back to normal. Here's where my headache begins, I bought from glow shift a tee adapter (the gs-aw32) and decided to add a sending unit in my top hose. The only problem is now the Bosch gauge isn't working, the gauge itself is grounded to the engine ground on the firewall, I have the 12v power hooked up, and the sending unit is hooked up but to no avail. I called Bosch and spoke to tech support and they suggested that I ground the tee from glow shift so I did, still to no avail.
Can anyone here help me figure this out?
