NOTE: The CANport Communication Board is optional and replaces
the Input Remote Module on Carbide systems.

Preparation:

The following procedure should be performed with the vehicle off.

1. Locate your vehicle’s Star CAN C port, typically found under the driver-

side of the dashboard (Dodge Durango & RAM) or the Passenger-side
(Charger). Refer to your Owner’s Manual for the exact location.

2. Locate  the  CANport  Interface  Cable  (included). This  cable  allows  the

CenCom  Core  system  to  communicate  with  your  vehicle’s  CAN
network.

The interface cable is comprised of the following connectors:
• One 2-position MQS connector
• One 3-pin connector

Connecting to the CANport network:

3. Plug the female MQS connector onto the vehicle’s Star CAN C port.
4. Plug  the  interface  cable’s  3-position  connector  into  the  CAN2  port  on

your CenCom™ Core.

The  CenCom  Core  system  is  now  connected  to  the  vehicle’s  OBDII
network.  The  vehicle’s  emission  and  diagnostic  data  may  now  be
accessed 

via

 the Male OBDII connector installed earlier in this installation.

Programming:

Configuring  the  CenCom  Core  system  to  interact  with  the  CANport
network  requires  a  Windows®-based  laptop  computer.  This  connection
requires  a  USB  cable  and  is  only  needed  during  the  programming
process.
