PRE-INSTALLATION NOTICE
When reflashing the engine controller, we strongly recommend using an external battery charger or booster. If the battery voltage
gets too low during a reflash, your engine controller may be damaged, which can be time consuming and costly to repair.
1 INSTALLATION
1.1 CABLE ROUTING
The nGauge OBD II cable must be routed so that it does not interfere with safe operation of the vehicle.
Cable routing tips:
•
Find the OBD II connector first and work the cable to where nGauge is to be mounted on the windshield.
•
Route the nGauge OBD II cable between interior panel grooves to 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 the cable dangle by your feet.
•
Don’t let the cable hang free.
•
Don’t allow the cable to be near the
steering wheel and any steering column controls.
•
Don’t mount the cabl
e in a way that puts stress on the connector on the back of the nGauge. This includes routing the cable at
angles other than directly out the back of the mount. That connector can be broken off when too much physical force is
applied. Any damage caused by improper cable routing is
not
covered under the nGauge limited warranty.
1.2 ATTACHING WINDSHIELD MOUNT
Mount the nGauge on the windshield in a spot that does not obstruct the view of the road or in any way that interferes with the safe
operation of the vehicle.
Mounting Suggestions:
•
Mount the nGauge as low to the dashboard as possible.
•
Mounting to the left or in the middle works well.
•
It may be illegal to mount the nGauge on the windshield in some states.
1.3 SD MEMORY CARD
Always insert and remove the memory card with the nGauge powered off.
Insert the card with the gold contacts facing towards the chrome ring. Press the card into the nGauge until a click is heard. If the card
sticks out at all, it has not been pushed in all the way. Using the black plastic spudger eases installation and removal of the card.
To remove, press the card in until a click is heard. Release and the card will eject enough to grab it.
