Installation Steps
The following steps provide an overview of the installation process:
Install Preparation.
Harness Installation.
Install Accessory
Device Connections & Mounting.
Verify and Secure Install.
1. Install Preparation.
Locate the device, Hardwire harness, wire strippers, cable ties, wire cutter, registration card, pen, and dash panel removers.
Record the 10-digit serial number (ESN) on your registration card.
Remove the dashboard panels for harness installation and device mounting.
Note: The device will be mounted behind the dash cluster.
Remove 1 1/2-in (4 cm) of insulation of the harnesses White, Red and Black wires, then twist the wire strands of each.
Cable tie all inline fuse holders.
2. Harness Installation.
Locate the multimeter, Hardwire harness, wire strippers, insulated crimpers, razor blade, electrical tape, star washer, ring terminal, ground screw, and cable ties.
Hardwire Harness
Locate a vehicle wire which provides between 12 VDC (+) and 24 VDC (+) while the vehicle is On and running and 0 VDC (+) when the key is in the Off and Accessory position. This will be the device’s Switch Source of power (Harness White Wire)
Complete the following steps to poke and wrap the connection:
Remove 1 in. (2.5 cm) of insulation from the vehicle wire identified and poke something nonconductive through the exposed wires to create a loop, then insert the exposed White wire strands into the loop.
Squeeze the loop shut, and tightly wrap the bare wire around the exposed wire at least three times.
Fold the wire back and generously wrap electrical tape around the connection, crossing over the insulation on both sides.
Secure the connection with one cable tie directly over the wire-to-wire connection and another cable tie on a stress loop created about 1 in. (2.5 cm) away from the connection.
Test for a vehicle wire that provides between 12 VDC (+) and 24 VDC (+) with the vehicle On, Off and Keys Removed. This will be the device’s Constant Source of power (Harness Red Wire).
Complete the same poke and wrap steps mentioned above in Step 2.2: A-D, connecting the Red wire to the Constant Power Source.
Locate a suitable location on the chassis to mount the ground wire.
Fold and crimp to the ring terminal.
Slip the star washer over the self-tapping screw first, then through the ring terminal.
After confirming there is nothing behind the mounting location, screw the ring terminal to the chassis.
Route the harness to the area behind the dash cluster.
3. Install Accessories.
If purchased, install the device accessories per their installation guide.
4. Device Connections & Mounting.
Locate the XT25 device.
Connect the Hardwire harness to the GPS device’s OBD connector port.
Note: If device lights do not begin to flash upon connection or do not go solid within 3-5 minutes, see Frequently Asked Questions below.
Without any metal covering the device, cable tie device as high within the dash as possible.
5. Verify and Secure Installation.
Open the verifygps.gpsinsight.com web app on your computer or or use the GPS Insight Verification App via smart phone (iOS | Android), enter your Install Key, Device Serial Number and select Device Type: ‘XT25.’
Then follow the instructions for verification and device registration.
Upon completion, reassemble the vehicle’s dashboard, and give the registration card to your GPS administrator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question | Answer |
What is the white wire that is unused for the XT25 Install? | The 6-pin connector with the loose lead white wire is an accessory connection for the Driveri camera. If Driveri was purchased, please refer to that guide for installation instructions. If Driveri was purchased, please refer to that guide for installation instructions. If Driveri was not purchased then ignore and cable tie to the OBDII cable. |
Why are lights flashing on the device? | Slow blink is searching, fast blink is connecting and a solid light is connected. The red light goes solid when on a trip (ignition on) and is off when not. It doesn’t blink. |
Why are the device lights not illuminating? | The port is most likely not supplying power and you will need to replace the diagnostic port fuse. Refer to your owner’s manual to inspect the correct fuse and replace if necessary. |
Why am I not seeing the vehicle on my map? | Your vehicle will not appear on the map until a trip has started. Start the vehicle and refresh the web page. |
