Installation Precautions
Installing the O Car in your vehicle requires a good understanding of your car’s electrical
system. If you are not comfortable installing it yourself, we strongly recommend contacting
an approved professional to install the O Car in your vehicle.
O Car is designed for 1DIN (182 x 53mm) installations, with a custom depth to support its frame
(about 185mm).
The electronic part of O Car was designed to operate with a continuous voltage of 12V. However, it
supports operating voltages ranging from 11V to 14.5V. No matter what, your device cannot work
with electrical systems whose voltage is above or below this range.
The O Car cannot be installed on vehicles with a different operating voltage (24-volt trucks, 6-volt
mopeds, etc.).
O Car is designed only for installation in covered vehicles, protecting it from moisture, extreme
heat, and direct exposure to the sun, all of which can damage it.
Electrical Precautions
O Car comes with a 15-amp protective fuse. It is therefore recommended that you check whether
your vehicle is equipped to draw such a current. If it cannot, you must first create the ability for
your vehicle to draw a 15-amp current before continuing.
If the fuse blows, it must be replaced with an equivalent fuse. Replacing the fuse with a higher
voltage can not only destroy your device, but also seriously impact your vehicle’s entire electrical
system.
A blown fuse rarely happens on its own. It is therefore strongly recommended that you check your
entire system before replacing it.
