VIP connection to Radar
2.5.2 Connecting to the On-Board Diagnostic Port (OBD II)
Connect the VIP™ to the motor vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostics
port. (Refer to your owner’s manual for the location of your motor
vehicle's OBD-II port.)
In some motor vehicles the clearance between where the
diagnostics port is located and the bottom of the dash is very close
and can cause the port and VIP™ to be bumped by the ocer’s
leg when getting into the motor vehicle. In those cases, Decatur
oers a two-foot right angle extension cable (S769-15) to allow the
VIP™ to be relocated away from the port so as not to be damaged.
