3. Installation Guide

The InsaneASD module is designed for a straightforward, plug-and-play installation, typically taking approximately 5 minutes. No special tools are required beyond basic access to the vehicle's wiring harness.

3.1. Safety Precautions

• Ensure the vehicle's ignition is OFF and the parking brake is engaged before beginning installation.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts during installation.
• Handle all connectors and wiring carefully to avoid damage.

3.2. Installation Steps

1. Locate the Auto Start-Stop Wiring Harness: Identify the wiring harness connected to the Auto Start-Stop system in your Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator. This is typically found near the battery or under the hood, depending on the specific model year. Consult your vehicle's service manual if you have difficulty locating it.
2. Disconnect the Factory Harness: Carefully disconnect the existing factory wiring harness from the Auto Start-Stop component. Press any release tabs or levers as necessary.
3. Connect the InsaneASD Module:
   • Connect one end of the InsaneASD module's harness to the factory component where you just disconnected the original harness.
   • Connect the other end of the InsaneASD module's harness to the factory wiring harness that you previously disconnected.

   The InsaneASD module acts as an inline pass-through, integrating seamlessly into the existing wiring.

4. Operating Instructions

The InsaneASD module is designed to modify the default behavior of your vehicle's Auto Start-Stop system. Once installed, the module will automatically manage the system according to its programming.

4.1. Default Behavior Modification

The primary function of the InsaneASD module is to reverse the default state of the Auto Start-Stop system. If your vehicle typically enables Auto Start-Stop upon ignition, the module will ensure it remains disabled. If your vehicle's system allows for manual toggling, the module will maintain the last selected state or default to disabled, depending on its internal logic. This provides the user with consistent control over the feature without needing to manually disable it after each ignition cycle.

4.2. Verification

After installation, start your vehicle. Observe the Auto Start-Stop indicator light on your dashboard. If the module is functioning correctly, the indicator should reflect the desired state (e.g., off or indicating the system is disabled) without manual intervention.

5. Maintenance and Care

The InsaneASD module requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity and proper function:

• Keep Dry: Avoid exposing the module to water or excessive moisture.
• Temperature: Do not expose the module to extreme temperatures outside of typical automotive operating conditions.
• Physical Damage: Protect the module from physical impact or crushing.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the module with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your InsaneASD module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Module Not Functioning:
  • Verify that all connections are secure and fully seated.
  • Ensure the vehicle's battery was reconnected properly after installation.
  • Check for any blown fuses related to the Auto Start-Stop system (consult your vehicle's manual).
• Intermittent Operation:
  • Inspect the wiring for any signs of damage or loose connections.
  • Ensure the module is securely mounted and not subject to excessive vibration.
• Vehicle Error Messages: If your vehicle displays unexpected error messages after installation, double-check all connections. If the issue persists, temporarily remove the InsaneASD module to see if the error resolves. If it does, contact Insane Audio support.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Insane Audio customer support for further assistance.
