Installing the GO10

1. Locate the OBD-II port

Find the vehicle's engine diagnostic (OBD-II) port, typically found in the driver-side footwell. For certain vehicles, you may need to remove panels to access it. Pull the OBD-II port out and detach its connector from its mounting location on the dash. Depending on the vehicle, it might be fastened via screws or a clip/snap mechanism.

2. Assemble the harness

Choose the adapter from the kit that most closely matches the original port.

Slide the adapter onto the short harness until you hear it click securely. If it does not click, flip the adapter and try again. Connect the two harness pieces together.

3. Connect and secure the harness

Connect the harness to the vehicle's OBD-II port and secure the connection with a cable tie.

4. Mount the adapter

Mount the adapter to the OBD-II port's original location. Ensure the cable does not interfere with any moving parts.

5. Connect harness to GO device

Plug the harness into the GO device. Make sure the harness clicks in place to ensure the connection is secure.
