Step 1. Selecting the suitable fuse box

Select a suitable car fuse box that contains the following fuses:

  • Regular electric fuse with an output voltage of 12-30V.
  • ACC power fuse.
    Paste the product on the side of the console center which is close to the selected fuse box.

Step 2. Connecting the hardwire kit to the fuse box

Connect the wires of the hardwire kit to the fuses inside of the fuse box in the following way:

  1. Connect the power wire (Red) to the regular electric fuse with an output voltage of 12-30V.
  2. Connect the ACC signal wire (Yellow) to the ACC power fuse.
  3. Connect the ground wire (Black) to the negative terminal or ground of the fuse box.
    Note: Before installation and wiring, please turn off the car engine and power to prevent short circuit.

Step 3. Testing circuit and ACC signal

Test circuit and ACC signal in the following way:

  1. Insert the L-shape plug of the connecting cable to the Type-C port of the hardwire kit, and the other plug into the power port of the main device. Start the car engine and wait for the main device to turn on.
    If the main device fails to power on, turn it on manually. If the message “Connect to an external power source” is shown, check if the power wire of the hardwire kit is correctly connected to the regular electric fuse.
  2. After the main device is turned on, turn off the engine and remove the key. Check if the main device powers off or enters sleep mode.
    For some cars, the ACC power off signal will only be triggered when the driver seat door is opened after the engine is turned off. Some car models will only trigger the ACC power off signal after the engine has been turned off for a certain period of time. For such cars, check if the main device powers off or enters sleep mode after the ACC power is turned off.
  3. After the main device powers off or enters sleep mode, restart the engine and check if the main device automatically turns on.
    If the above steps can be proceed correctly, the circuit and ACC signal test is passed.
    If the circuit and ACC signal test fails, please check the wiring of the hardwire kit and ensure that the fuse and ground are correctly connected.
    If the connection is correct, but the test fails, contact after-sales service for assistance.

Step 4. Managing cables

1. Managing the Type-C connecting cable
Route the Type-C connecting cable along the A pillar, top of the windshield to the main device.
You can use the wiring crowbar bar to hide the cable underneath the vehicle’s headliner and rubber seal along the A-pillar.

2. Managing the hardwire kit
Route the hardwire kit along the gap between the console center and the A pillar to the fuse box.
If the hardwire kit is too long, tie it up, but do not cut it. Cutting the hardwire kit will affect the power and ACC signal to the main device.

 

Note: The location of the fuse box and the recommended mounting position (position 1 or 2) of the main device may vary from vehicle to vehicle. Please employ a professional technician for mounting according to the vehicle condition. The illustration provided is for reference only.
