Attach the mounting bracket adapter to UltraGauge such that the bracket’s
release arm is at the top as shown in this diagram.
Attach the UltraGauge/Bracket assembly to the windshield mount by aligning
the large rectangular opening of the bracket with the matching rectangular structure on the windshield mount. Slide
down to attach. Note that it may be necessary to rotate the windshield mount’s head 180 degrees.
The windshield mount also includes a locking ring which can be optionally added to the swivel ball mount to lock it in
place. In most cases the swivel ball mount is sufficiently rigid.
2.
Remove and save the twist tie from
the cable. Now that UltraGauge is
mounted, form an 8” diameter loop
with the OBD-II cable near
UltraGauge. This loop will allow
UltraGauge to be removed from the
mount and configured rather than
attempting to configure UltraGauge
while it is held in the mount.
3.
Locate the vehicle’s OBD-II connector. This connector is typically found
above the foot controls and below the steering colum. See the diagram
below. In rare cases, the connector may be found in a similar location on
the passenger side or even in the vehicle’s console. To determine where
the OBD-II connector is located for your vehicle, please use the following
resource:

If your vehicle is not listed, check other like model years.

4.
Once the OBD-II connector is located, route the OBD-II cable so that it does not block or interfere with foot controls. The
UltraGauge connector is a right-angle connector. This design limits the connector from protruding into the foot controls
area. Tuck the cable into gaps between the dash and surrounding structures. Route the cable under the dash such that it will
not hang down into the foot control area. Care should be taken not to route the cable near moving objects, such as the hood
release, emergency brake, brake release, foot controls and associated mechanisms. If appropriate, use the twist tie to secure
any excess cable.
5.
Set the ignition to the RUN position, and plug the cable into the vehicle’s OBD-II connector.
