Vehicle Wiring
The 4-pin Molex connector on the back of VT-2200 contains the power,
ground and ignition leads. The supplied power cable plugs into the
Molex connector. The opposite end of the cable has a black wire for
ground, a red wire for vehicle power and a white wire for vehicle
ignition.

Ground
Make sure the ground point is welded, not bolted, to the vehicle’s
dash support structure. Strip enough slack in the power cable to allow
sufficient length as to attach the black wire to a solid metal surface
that is wielded, not bolted to an under dash support. Add a grounding
ring connector to the end of the black wire, crimp it and screw it
securely onto a non-painted metal frame or plate. Temporarily connect
VT-2200 to ensure it is on constant power before your final placement.
Power
Find constant 12+v wire and slide crimp over wire. Slide red fused
wire from NexTraq power cable all the way into the holder and crimp
with pliers. Cable tie the fused wire to the lead wire. Next, find an
ignition wire that is 12+v when ignition is in the “ON” position and
open or ground when ignition is “OFF.” Slide crimp onto lead wire and
the insert fused ignition lead into side of crimp and crimp with
pliers. Cable tie the fused wire to the lead wire. Optional step:
apply torque seal to all connections.
