![]() I thought it would be a good idea to add heat shrink, but do not do this. This end was too stiff, and did not let the fuse box properly close. I thought it would be a a good idea to add marine-grade heat shrink to the end of the power cable where the fuse spade connects. Be sure to avoid areas where your foot could catch them.Ĥ. A few zip ties and the HDMI will not come unplugged from the box.Ĭonnect the HDMI to the OBDII adapter box and tuck away the wires under the dash. I modified a quick and ugly way to prevent the cable from coming unplugged. But HDMI does not provide for a way to “lock” the cable to the OBDII adapter box. Using HDMI is a great way to avoid proprietary cables (which would have left me stranded earlier). The HDMI cable provided does not take too well to that abuse, so unfortunately I thrashed the HDMI end, and had to steal a replacement from my Blu Ray player! Use caution with the HDMI ends! This is an IMPORTANT note! I was having a hard time getting the HDMI cable up through the weather stripping, so I grabbed a set of needlenose pliers. I chose this hole in the frame to zip the cable, once in place.įeed the other end up through the weather stripping at the base of the windshield. Run the HDMI cable up from the floor, into the side panel area. Start by pulling off the driver side dash end panel, they are just clips and it is easy to pull off. I believe the total time the update took was about 30 minutes.ģ. Follow the key on and off steps meticulously. Important: Be sure to NOT disconnect power to the device during the update process. The thick cable seems to be on the wrong side of the plug for the Jeep application.Ģ. Install the updated tune to the vehicle per the on screen and printed instructions. I drive a manual transmission, so I hope this will not get caught by my foot when working the clutch. I will cover this in the review, but my initial impressions are a little sketchy on the placement of the cable that comes out of the OBDII plug. Make sure the small switch on the box is set to “battery.” Plug the unit into the OBDII port in the Jeep, and the other end into the tuner. ![]() Second Phase: Installing the unit to the Jeepġ. Your Jeep and dash will do weird things but be assured it is all a normal part of the install. ![]() Once ready, prepare for installation to the Jeep. The initial software is comprised of two phases – installing the updater on your computer, and installing the updates to your device.Īfter installing the update agent, follow the instructions to register the device and add the SD card to the tuner. The update agent will sync with the device and pull information into it. So I eventually ran Parallels on the Mac and used Windows to complete the setup. For example, the Bully Dog Update Agent only runs on Windows (it downloads an exe file). I use a Mac, and found the process to be difficult and not as easy (see page 30 of the instructions for Mac). The instructions provided with the unit are very clear and straightforward. In the box: the tuner, USB cable (tied in with the HDMI cable), HDMI cable, OBDII adapter, windshield mount, power cable, electronic connectors, and two badges.įirst Phase: Initial Software Install and Setup The install had some gotchas, so I thought I’d write a more detailed install, to help others save time. I will write an actual review of this unit after I spend some time with it. On a recent visit to 4 Wheel Parts in Portland, I decided to pick up a Bully Dog GT Platinum tuner. One of the areas I have been interested in was the tuner market. Now that my build is pretty established, with the long arm kit, coil overs, and new 37s I figured it was time to start thinking about ways to save money and improve some trail functionality.
