Installation

A GO9 or later device is required for operation of the IOX-KEYBOX. For GO9 device installation and setup, refer to the Telematics Device Quick Start Guide, and the HRN-GS16K22 T-Harness guide.

Before installing the IOX-KEYBOX, do the following to ensure the key fob is compatible:

1. Check that the 3 digit KEYBOX type code found inside the drawer on the white key tray matches the key fob photo found in the KEYBOX catalog.
2. Physically place the key fob in the white tray and ensure a snug and secure fit, such that the fob easily snaps in place.

Kit contents

The IOX-KEYBOX container includes the following:

1. IOX-KEYBOX unit
2. HRN-KEYBOX cable (3.5 meters)
3. Three Velcro fasteners
4. Mounting brackets*
5. Optional Key Power Control (KPC)

* Product will be available at a later date.

Inspect the units for any damage prior to installation. If there is damage or a strong odor, contact Geotab Support at +1 800 397-7102 for assistance.

Key Power Control (KPC) installation (optional for bladed fobs)

The Key Power Control (KPC) unit is necessary for use on all push-to-start vehicle installations. The KPC unit is optional. The KPC replaces the key fob battery with power from the IOX-KEYBOX, where it is only powered when required. This accessory aids in preventing the vehicle from being operated without authorization.

KPC polarity:

1	Open the key fob, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
2	Remove the manufacturer's battery from the key fob.
3	Place the corresponding KPC in the battery position. Ensure the cable will exit the keyfob and pass under the keyfob to the power socket.
4	Close the key fob with the upper part and bend the cable in the direction, as seen in the image. Pre-bending of the cable may be required to avoid cable damage. Ensure it is not stretched and contours the fob to minimize strain.
5	Connect the plug to the socket in the key bed of the box drawer. Ensure the cable exits and passes under the keyfob to the power socket. This prevents excessive cable from interfering with the IOX-KEYBOX operation.
6	Place the key fob in the key bed.
7	Carefully close the drawer of the box, ensuring not to damage any cables.

Guidelines for mounting locations

! IMPORTANT: To ensure the key fob remains in place and the unlock/lock commands function reliably, the IOX-KEYBOX should be mounted horizontally. When mounting inside the glove compartment, where the glove compartment floor may tilt when opened or closed, mounting so the given angle is 45 degree or less from horizontal through its travel is acceptable.! IMPORTANT: if the glove compartment door needs to be or will ever be slammed to shut, glove compartment mounting is not recommended.

The IOX-KEYBOX can be installed in a number of locations in the vehicle, depending on its size, configuration, and type. If no modifications can be done to the vehicle, we recommend installing the IOX-KEYBOX in one of the following locations:

1. Inside the glove compartment
2. Underneath the seat

The following alternative mounting locations require additional mounting brackets:

1. In the cargo area.
2. Under the rear vehicle seats.
3. Inside the passenger footwell.

! IMPORTANT: Any additional IOX devices must be installed AFTER the IOX-KEYBOX, and only if the overall daisy chain will not exceed 3.5m.

WARNING! If the IOX-KEYBOX is installed inside the cabin area/cargo area of a vehicle, it must be contained or otherwise secured to the vehicle to prevent it from becoming a projectile in the event of a collision. Failure to properly secure the IOX-KEYBOX using the recommended brackets could result in serious personal injury and/or vehicle damage.

IOX-KEYBOX is NOT to be installed in the following locations:

1. Where it is exposed to heating sources.
2. Where it is exposed to water (IOX-KEYBOX is rated IP31).
3. Where it is visible from outside the vehicle.
4. Where it can interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
5. Where it is not contained within, or physically mounted, or secured to the vehicle.

Installation instructions

The Installation Technician must consider the mounting locations of the IOX-KEYBOX and cable routing. Evaluate the safety of the installation, and determine an appropriate method to secure the IOX-KEYBOX.

NOTE! The functionality of the key fob in the installation location should be tested prior to mounting and installation.

IOX-KEYBOX — Glove compartment installation

Prior to installing any equipment, determine a suitable installation location based on the vehicle.

1. Ensure the IOX-KEYBOX has adequate clearance for the tray to fully open.
2. Consider how the HRN-KEYBOX cable will exit the location and route to the GO device. Avoid high angle bends that may pinch or damage the cable.
3. Determine whether drilling may be required to provide suitable cable routing in glove boxes that are completely enclosed.

1	Prepare the IOX-KEYBOX for installation, and attach the provided dual lock adhesive tape to the bottom of the IOX-KEYBOX.
2	Route the HRN-KEYBOX cable from the IOX-KEYBOX through the access or drilled hole to the location of where the GO device will be installed. Ensure cable routing will not be a safety concern and is concealed within the dash. Secure the cable using cable ties.
3	Using the dual lock, mount the IOX-KEYBOX in the selected location. Ensure the IOX-KEYBOX is mounted securely, and the tray can fully open without obstruction.
4	Attach the HRN-KEYBOX cable between the T-Harness and GO device, and the IOX connector to the GO IOX port.
5	Install the T-Harness and GO device to the vehicle following instructions in the Telematics Device Quick Start Guide, HRN-GS16K22 T-Harness guide, and the Installation Video for GO9 with HRN-GS16K22. Ensure all cables and connections are secured with cable ties. NOTE! Ensure all IOX cables are connected to the GO device prior to connecting the T-Harness to the vehicle. ! IMPORTANT: Installers must perform the MyInstall Test (Steps 1-3B) - Telematics Device Quick Start Guide, (www.installmygps.com) while the vehicle is running. When logging the installation, ensure you see the IOX-KEYBOX listed under the Connected equipment section. If needed, follow the steps in the troubleshooting section.

IOX-KEYBOX — Under seat or cargo area installation

Prior to installing any equipment, determine a suitable installation location based on the vehicle.

1. Ensure the IOX-KEYBOX has suitable clearance for the tray to fully open.
2. Consider how the HRN-KEYBOX cable will exit the location and route to the GO device. Avoid high angle bends that may pinch or damage the cable.
3. Ensure there is clearance to properly install the mounting brackets.
4. Mount the IOX-KEYBOX horizontally (flat) and fasten to the vehicle structure.

✱ NOTE: When installing in the cargo or under the rear passenger seat areas, additional attachment brackets are required to secure the device.

1	Select a suitable mounting location that satisfies the mounting requirements for the IOX-KEYBOX.
2	Use the two mounting brackets — must be ordered separately — to securely mount the IOX-KEYBOX under the seat or in the trunk or cargo area. The brackets install diagonally to each other at the corners of the IOX-KEYBOX and secured with the supplied screws. Ensure the door functions and the brackets restrain the IOX-KEYBOX from movement or removal.
	✱ NOTE: When mounting under the passenger seat, ensure you are not directly in front of the hot air duct or heat source. Example shown:
3	Route the HRN-KEYBOX cable from the IOX-KEYBOX to the location of where the GO device will be installed. Attach the HRN-KEYBOX cable between the T-Harness and GO device, and the IOX connector to the GO IOX port.

Ensure all cables and connections are secured with cable ties. NOTE! Ensure all IOX cables are connected to the GO device prior to connecting the T-Harness to the vehicle.
5	! IMPORTANT: Installers must perform the MyInstall Test (Steps 1-3B) - Telematics Device Quick Start Guide, (www.installmygps.com) while the vehicle is running. When logging the installation, ensure you see the IOX-KEYBOX listed under the Connected equipment section. If needed, follow the steps in the troubleshooting section.

Example of final installation:

Termination Shunt

The IOX comes with a termination shunt installed in the expansion port. If you plan to install more than one IOX in a daisy chain, you must remove the shunt from each device in the line, except for the last IOX connected. The shunt must remain in the last IOX and secured with a zip tie.

The shunt in the last IOX device ensures the GO device detects and configures the IOX as effectively as possible.

✱ NOTE: Failure to install the shunt in the last IOX may affect IOX communication. To ensure the IOX communicates, please secure the shunt with a zip tie.
