Cable routing tips:
•
Find your OBDII connector first and work the
cable to where it is to be mounted on the
windshield.
•
Route your DashDAQ OBDII cable between
interior panel grooves. These grooves will
hold the cable as well as conceal it.
•
Use wire or zip ties to bundle any excess
cable.
Cable routing “Don’ts”
•
Don’t let your cable dangle by your feet.
•
Don’t let the cable hang free.
•
Keep the cable away from the steering wheel
and any steering column controls.
•
Golden Rule: If the cable looks to be routed
poorly, it most likely is.
1.6 OBDII Connector
The OBDII or “data link” connector is the basis of
DashDAQ operation. Power as well as all vehicle
information comes from this vehicle link.
Most OBDII connections are found directly below
the steering column. It should be in plain sight. If
you cannot find your OBDII connector have a local
mechanic show you where it is.
