– vPOD ADAPTER 

The vPOD Adapter (133917-VPOD) enables the LMU-26xx device to connect to the vehicle bus data. This 
cable reports on-board diagnostic computer data (Diagnostic Trouble Codes – DTCs), fuel efficiency 
reporting, true speed, true ignition-on and true odometer values. The vPOD supplies power to the LMU-
26xx when connected to the vehicle’s OBD-II port so wiring harness 5C261 is the preferred harness for a 
cleaner install.  vPOD white wire is the “Ignition” wire and is used to provide true ignition by connecting 
it to the white wire of harness 5C261, 5C260 or 5C908.
