- Ensure that the vehicle is completely turned off
- Locate the +12V IGNITION (aka SWITCHED) and GROUND terminals of the vehicle harness using a multimeter or by referencing factory service manuals. *automotive message boards are also a good place to find this information.
- Insert each prong of the SimpleUSB cable into their respective terminal openings behind the harness plug. Try to slip the prong into the corner of each opening as to avoid bending the terminal. *gently pressure should be applied until the entire prong is friction-fit into the opening. It may require a few attempts to find a location in the openings where the prong will fit snugly in place. Too much force can result in a bent-prong!
- Double check that the prongs are inserted snugly into the correct terminals. Connect the USB cable of your dashcam or other USB accessory. This device will now receive power once the vehicle is turned on. *Zip-tie or organize the adapter as necessary. Use adequate slack in the cable to minimize possibility of adapter disconnecting!
