Firmware notes
IMPORTANT: Do NOT turn vehicle ignition ON with ANY vehicle connectors disconnected, including during module
programming. Failure to do so may result with errors in the instrument cluster or hidden error messages.
The optional Plug & Play THHON7 T-Harnesses are sold separately.
T-Harness: All T-Harness wires not listed in the diagram are not required for the installation. Loose wires such as Siren Output and
Hood Input may need to be pulled from the tapped section of the T-harness. Refer to the "wiring diagram with T-Harness" for more
information on connections and installation instructions.
Key2GO may be required if the interface does not program using the traditional method. Refer to the "Module programming" section
for more information.
Fuse positioning: It is important to check that the fuses are positioned correctly in the module. Proper fuse positioning is displayed on
each wiring diagram.
All connectors are displayed from the wire side (unless specified otherwise).
Refer to the "Vehicle connections" following the installation diagram.
