Install the Controller
1. Mount the Controller
The sturdy COMPUSHIFT housing is water resistant to 3’/1m, so you can mount the controller inside the
cabin, in the engine compartment or even under the vehicle – but AWAY from exhaust system and other
sources of heat.
We recommend mounting the
inside
the cabin
–
on a kick panel, under a seat, or on the floor pan – and
cutting a hole in the firewall for the cables.
Select a spot away from direct heat. Keep in mind:
You may want to be able to see the status lights on the controller.
Your controller and smartphone connect via Bluetooth, so avoid mounting the unit inside a
metal enclosure.
Use the built-in flanges to secure the controller in place with screws or use hook-and-loop type fasteners
to attach it to a flat surface.
There’s a small pinhole in the center of the rear cover that allows a little air flow to equalize pressure
inside the case when you go from sea level to higher elevations. Water cannot pass through the Gore-
Tex® liner. This hole should not be covered.
The controller is a sealed assembly.
Opening the case will void the warranty.
2. Attach the Main Cable Assembly
The main harness assembly includes all the cables needed for most applications – as well as some you
may not use. For those cables not in use, leave them in place and secure the stripped end with insulating
tape.
With the cable tail DOWN, carefully align the connector to the 80-pin assembly on the
controller.
Press in place, then pull the lever down until it snaps in place.
Push the red tab down to lock.
