Installation Steps

1. Installation preparation.

  1. Before you begin, sit in the driver’s seat to identify a suitable mounting location.

    Note: The Reader and Light (if applicable) should be visible and easy to reach from the driver’s seat.

  2. Remove the dashboard panel where the Reader and Light will be installed.

  3. Confirm that the area directly behind the mounting location is clear and the panel can be put back into place without the Reader and Light affecting the panel reassembly.

2. Wire Connections.

Locate wire strippers, insulated crimper, 16-pin harness, wiretap connector, and three butt connectors.

Important!

When using the I/O Extender, the extender must be securely connected to the XT25.

  1. Remove 1/2 in. (13 mm) of insulation and twist the wire strands of all Reader and Light/Buzzer wires, and the I/O Extender harness’ Blue/White wire (pin 2), Black (pin 14).

  2. Crimp together the following:

    • Black with Gray Stripe Reader wire to the I/O Extender Blue/White wire (pin 2).

    • Solid Black Reader wire to the I/O Extender Black wire (pin 14).

  3. Secure all loose wires with cable ties.

Note: During the installation verification process, you will be required to test this accessory; please make sure you have one of the two key fobs available for the Driver ID testing.

To scan in, press the key fob flat against the Reader and slide slightly in any direction so the key fob touches the inner side of the Reader. This connection will turn off the Light, and/or buzzer.
