BM3 OBD Agent Device Installation

HKD126 · 07-21-2017, 06:50 AM

Just curious as to how people are wiring these in their cars and tucking them away for a clean installation?

Here's mine with dedicated circuit...I have CIC so it tucks away nicely under head unit

What is CIC? How are you powering it?

Yup...custom Map 6 for boost control only (and I prefer the gauges). Will be ditching JB4 all together soon tho...

I got a ribbon cable just like that I was thinking of trying to run it over into the armrest.

I used the same ribbon cable, ran it through the Center console to under this spot. Popped the aux plate off, plugged the obd plug into my Ethernet adapter, slipped the agent device into the hole, plugged in the usb cord and popped the plate back into place.

What ribbon cables are you talking about?

THIS is the ribbon cable I'm now using. Abandoned the last one as I didn't like where the ribbon exited the plug

Off topic but I couldn't help comment on the 5.7x28 round in the picture. Five-seven or PS-90? Sounds like me, two expensive hobbies... cars and guns.
