Installing StealthOne
The StealthOne product includes the following items:
•
The StealthOne module
•
A standard 2 Ft. RJ-11 modular Power Cable. This cable connects between
the Valentine One
®
accessory port and StealthOne.
•
A second 2 Ft. RJ-11 modular Interface Cable with an additional black wire
attached. The single wire connects to your automobile’s I-BUS and the
modular cable serves as the auxiliary programming port for future
programming and/or accessories.
•
Tie wraps
•
Red 3M T-Tap connector
The StealthOne module is small (approx. 2.5x3.5x1 inches, 62x84x28 mm). It is
easy to install and should only take you about 1 hour depending on the location of
your Valentine One
®
and your BMW model.
Just connect StealthOne and Valentine One
®
together using the power cable, and
attach the other cable to StealthOne letting one end of it hang free, as shown
below. The single black wire is connected to your BMWs I-BUS in the 5 Series or
X5, and to the K-BUS in the 3 Series and Z4.
What is an I-BUS or K-BUS?
In the BMW 5-Series and X5 the BMW I-BUS
(Instrumentation Bus) is a communication bus that connects many of the modules
and systems together in your car, allowing various systems to communicate with
each other. For example your car’s radio can use the I-BUS to display messages
on the navigation display or instrument cluster. The 3-Series and Z4 do not have
the I-BUS, instead it uses the K-BUS (Body Bus) for this purpose. The StealthOne
connects to your car’s bus to communicate with the different displays in your
BMW.
