Mounting Recommendations

Connecting Wires

  • Ensure the device is not powered or plugged in when connecting wires.
  • Fasten all wires to stable, non-moving parts to avoid damage from vibration or mechanical movement.
  • Keep wires away from heat sources and components with moving parts.
  • No wire should remain exposed. If factory insulation was removed during installation, apply proper insulation afterward.
  • For wires routed in areas exposed to heat, moisture, dirt, or external conditions, apply additional protective insulation and ensure they are firmly secured.
  • Do not connect the wires directly to vehicle control units or onboard computers.

Connecting Power Source

  • After the vehicle’s computer enters sleep mode, power may still remain on certain power lines. This delay varies by vehicle and may take 5 to 30 minutes.
  • After connecting the module, measure the voltage again to ensure it remains stable.
  • It is recommended to connect the device to the main power supply line inside the fuse box. Device is protected using an internal Self resettable fuse 3A, 100V

Connecting Ignition Wire

  • Verify that the selected line is a true ignition wire, meaning power remains present after the engine starts.
  • Ensure the wire is not an ACC (accessory) line, which only has power in the key’s first position.
  • Check that power remains available when turning off any individual vehicle devices.
  • The ignition wire should be connected to the ignition relay output, or alternatively to any relay that provides output only when the ignition is ON.

Connecting Ground Wire

  • Connect the ground wire to the vehicle chassis or metal parts firmly attached to the frame.
  • If the wire is secured using a bolt, attach a ring/loop terminal to the wire end.
  • For the best electrical contact, remove paint from the mounting spot before securing the loop terminal.
