Review this installation manual 

to become familiar with all installation procedures and electrical wiring 

requirements  prior  to  starting  the  installation.  This  installation  guide  has  been  prepared  to  provide  you  with 
details necessary to complete the Qube installation.  

Use of proper tools and testing equipment is required. Never use a grounding style test light. Use only a 

Digital Multi Meter 

(DMM) to test wires in the vehicle. It is strongly recommended that one of the battery post 

cables is disconnected or battery disconnect switch is engaged prior to making electrical connections. 

The recommended method of 

electrical connections

 

for the Qube is “Poke and Wrap”. “Poke and Wrap” 

is  described  in  detail  later  in  this  guide.  It  is  critical  to  ensure  that  all  electrical  connections  are  properly 
insulated  with  quality  electrical  tape.  Do  not  use  butt  connectors,  crimp  connectors  or  any  other  means  to 
connect  wires.  Failing  to  ensure  proper  connections  may  result  in  warranty  being  voided  and  damage  to  the 
Qube and/or the vehicle.  

Ensure  that  all 

wiring

 

is  protected  from  heat  sources  and  sharp  metal  edges  and  is  routed  in  such 

manner that it will not get damaged or pinched when vehicle components and trim are reinstalled. Run new 
wiring along factory harnesses and secure with quality cable zip-ties. Be sure to leave a “service loop” near the 
Qube, enough slack in the wiring to allow working room and strain relief.  

The Qube is NOT waterproof, never mount the Qube in the engine compartment. When 

mounting the 

Qube

, determine best possible location under the dash and make sure that the Qube will be securely attached 

using self-tapping screws or cable zip-ties. Do not force or jam the Qube into tight places instead of mounting 
it. When mounting the Qube, do not obstruct any serviceable areas such as fuseboxes, etc. The Qube and its 
wiring must be mounted away from any moving parts such as brake, gas, and clutch pedals and linkages.  

Follow all safety guidelines outlined in this guide, the applicable Qube Installation Manual as well as 

those set forth by industry and government.
