We have an older english bus on which we need to install Geotab GO gps unit. The older bus doesn't have the OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics II) port. How can i connect the Geotab GO device to the 12 volt and ground directly. What is the pin out on the GO device for connecting to +12v and ground. Are there other pins on the Geotab GO device that I have to connect to some other signals on the bus as well besides the 12v and ground ? This bus is from 1992, so this before any type of OBD type of ports were invented. Any help you can provide me would be so much appreciated. Thanks ever so much. Sam

Hello @SSoha-7955​ ,

 

Thank you for asking your question in our community. You will want to a use a 3-Wire harness for the installation. The three wires connect to power, ground and ignition. Here is some information on installing that harness: HRN-CW03K3

 

Let us know if you have any other questions. We are here to help.

 

Have a great day!

Hello. If it is possible to connect the GO device in the bus, I recommend using the following harness: HRN-CW03K3 3-wire harness for GO devices – PWR, GND, IGN.
