Step 2: Connecting Vehicle Wiring

Connect the power cable and other necessary wires to your vehicle's existing wiring harness. There are two types of power cables: universal and dedicated. Choose the appropriate cable for your vehicle.

Universal Power Cable Connection:

If using a universal power cable, you will need to identify the corresponding power supply definition diagram for your vehicle model. Connect the gifted power cord to the wires corresponding to the original car definition one by one, and wrap them with electrical tape for insulation and security.
