INSTALLATION
SAFETY FIRST!
Install DashDAQ in such a manner that it does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle If DashDAQ cannot be mounted in
such a manner, promptly return the DashDAQ, in new and unused condition, with a dated proof of purchase, to the place of purchase
for a full refund less a 20% restocking fee
OBDII CONNECTOR
The OBDII or “data link” connector is necessary for DashDAQ operation in OBDII vehicles Power and all vehicle information come
directly from this vehicle link Some custom applications (aftermarket ECM’s, aftermarket data acquisition equipment, etc ) may not
have an OBDII connector in the vehicle In these cases the connection between the vehicle and DashDAQ is application specific
Most OBDII connectors are found directly below the steering column It should be in plain sight If you cannot find the OBDII connector
have a local mechanic show you where it is
CABLE ROUTING
The DashDAQ OBDII cable must be routed so that it does not interfere with safe operation of the vehicle
Cable routing tips:
• Find the OBDII connector first and work the cable to where DashDAQ is to be mounted on the windshield
• Route the DashDAQ OBDII cable between interior panel grooves to hold the cable as well as conceal it
• Use wire or zip ties to bundle any excess cable
Cable routing “Do nots”
• Do not let the cable dangle by your feet
• Do not let the cable hang free
• Keep the cable away from the steering wheel and any steering column controls
• Golden Rule: If the cable looks to be poorly routed, it is Reroute it

Mounting Suggestions:
Find the vehicle’s OBDII port Plug in the DashDAQ OBDII connector Route the cable safely, (see “Cable Routing” Page 9) and note
where it reaches Mount the DashDAQ in a spot that does not obstruct view based on where the cable ends
