    USE OF THE 3M WIRE TAPS
    This module is installed using the 3M wire taps very popular with 12V aftermarket industry for their reliability and durability. The most common problem during installation is a bad contact between the plugs from the supply wires and the wire taps. Please make absolutely sure that the metal blades of the plugs slide into the slots of the t-taps. It happens that the blade "misses" the slot and the connection looks correct, but doesn't make electrical contact!

    The T-taps come in RED (for thin wires), BLUE (for medium wires) and YELLOW (for thick wires).

    To test if you installed the module correctly after all wires are connected, turn the ignition fully on and watch the green LED on the module. It should blink (flash) to signal a correct installation. If the LED either does not turn on or stays on permanently, there is a bad contact or a missing connection! See detailed explanation of the DATA LED.
    Installation - Steps 1-3
    1. IMPORTANT: Turn ignition off, and pull key from ignition lock before installing the module! Move the driver's seat all the way up and tilt forward. Remove the side panel (1) behind the driver's seat by pulling it out to the front of the car. Behind it is the top controller unit (2).
    2. Push the (usually blue colored) bracket (1) on the topmost plug down (while pushing the small latch in the middle of the plug in) to eject the plug from the top controller.
    3. Connect the plug (1) just removed from the top controller exactly as shown with pin header on the bottom of the smartTOP module. Make sure all pins mate with the holes in the plug and no pin gets bent. Insert the top connector of the smartTOP into the socket of the wire extender, so that the "Tyco" logo (2) is visible / facing up.
    Installation - Steps 4-6
    4. Place the smartTOP module (1) in the void to the right of the top controller. Then insert the plug from the wire extender (2) into the socket on the top controller and move the (white) bracket up to lock it in place.
    5. Attach the supplied blue T-tap (1) to the solid brown wire on the middle plug. Best use combination pliers and make sure that it snaps into place with an audible click.
    6. Now connect the ground plug (1) from the smartTOP to the T-tap, pushing it all the way in and making sure that the metal blade in the plug actually slides into the slot of the tap. Now attach the side panel in its original place and set up the module according to our operation and programming manual. Done.
