Find a wire harness for mounting the MVAC within 2 feet of the OBD port. Once installed, the MVAC must NOT interfere with the driver’s operation of the vehicle (pedals, steering, etc.). Make sure the weight of the MVAC will not damage or pull out the cables from their connectors. If the MVAC is installed against a vehicle surface (e.g. metal plate), verify that the I.D. Systems logo is facing against the surface, so that the clip side is visible and accessable after installation. Slide back the locking pin and push back on the clamp lock to release the snap clamp.3/8-inchactual 3/4-inchactualMINIMUM SIZE <--- BUNDLE ---> MAXIMUM SIZEPush downRemoving the Unit from the Vehicle(refer to install instructions for image references)Electrical ConnecƟons (Cont.)Motor Vehicle Asset Communicator™Confidentiality Notice © 2012 I.D.
