The following procedure
and images are for demonstration
purposes only. Please refer to section
"1.4 Vehicle Specific Instructions"
of the manual for further guidance on
locating sensor, routing and mounting
Derringer application specific harness.
However, installation process should
be similar.
1. Disconnect the battery ground
cable from the battery (If equipped with
more than one battery, disconnect all
negative cables). Secure the cable(s) so
that they do not come in contact with
the battery posts during the installation
See Figure 1.2-1.
2. If required, remove the engine
cover. In some vehicles it is necessary
to remove oil cap and loosen one or
more fasteners before removing the
engine cover. See Figure 1.2-2 &
1.2-3.
3. Locate the desired sensors
(MAP,FRP, TIP, MAF, EGR...Etc.) that
your specific harness will connect
to. Please refer to section "1.4
Vehicle Specific Instructions" of
this manual for pictures/ assistance
locating sensor and firewall for your
specific vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle
year/ make/ model, you may need to
remove sub assembly components
(throttle body, air intake ducts, air
box...etc.) to access desired sensor.

NOTE:
4. Disconnect the OEM harness from
the sensor.
Depending on the
vehicle year/ make/ model as well as
sensor type, each sensor has different
connecting variations. (Push/Pull tabs,
lock tabs, wedge tabs...etc) Please
refer to section “1.4 Vehicle Specific
Instructions” of this manual for
pictures/assistance disconnecting OEM
harness from sensor.
5. Now connect the end of the
Derringer harness to the disconnected
OEM connector and the other end to
the sensor.
6. Route the Derringer harness along
suitable path. It is recommended to
route the Derringer harness along
an existing OEM harness path. See
Section 1.4 for further assistance in
routing harness for specific vehicle.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for all necessary or
desired sensors that will connect to the
Derringer harness.
Figure 1.2-4
“MAP”
Damage can result with improper
connection. Ensure you are using
the designated connectors for each
sensor by checking the Derringer
harness label location. See Figure
1.2-4 to see example of label
location.

The following procedure
and images are for demonstration
purposes only. Please refer to section
“1.4 Vehicle Specific Instructions”
of the manual for further guidance on
locating sensor, routing and mounting
Derringer application specific harness.
However, installation process should
be similar.
1. Connect the Derringer module to
the Derringer harness and mount it in
a secure location with provided zip tie.
See Figures 1.3-1
Tip: Mount the Derringer module
closest to the side your vehicles’
firewall wiring harness gasket is
located. This will be helpful when
connecting the starter cable and
running it to the OBDII connector
inside the vehicle.
2. To route the Derringer starter
cable through the firewall wiring
harness grommet, and into the driver
compartment start by feeding the
6-pin end of the Derringer starter
cable through firewall gasket.
See Figures 1.3-2 & 1.3-3. A wire
coat hanger is helpful for pulling the
harness through the two sides of the
firewall wire harness grommet. Take
care not to damage the factory wire
harness nor the starter cable.
3. Plug the round connector end of the
Banks starter cable into the Derringer
and secure it by rotating the locking ring
clockwise towards its locking position.
See Figures 1.3-4 & 1.3-5 & 1.3-6.

4. If using Switch Configuration
install gray dust cap and if using iDash
Configuration install black terminator
cap to the other side of the Derringer
module. See Figures 1.3-6. Secure it
by rotating locking ring clockwise. See
Figures 1.3-4 1.3-5.
Jeep Grand Cherokee
requires the use of black Terminator
Cap at all times.

5. Plug the OBDII cable into the OBDII
port under the dash. See Figures 1.3-7
For Switch Configuration:
NOTE: If using the Switch
configuration, perform steps 6-8. If
using iDash 1.8” Gauge configuration,
skip to step 9.
6. Plug the 4-pin connector from
the OBDII cable, the 6-pin connector
from the starter cable, and the 2-pin
connector from the switch cable into
the Y-harness. See Figures 1.3-8
7. Install the power level plate to the
switch. Make sure to align the slot of
the switch with the red line on the plate
towards Sport. See Figures 1.3-9
8. OPTIONAL: Mount switch in
dashboard by drilling two holes using
the supplied template See page 44.
Be careful to not damage factory wiring
behind the dashboard. To keep the
switch from rotating, it is necessary to
install the locking tab washer behind
the dash, with the locking tab facing the
backside of the dash face. Alternatively,
Zip tie the switch in any easy to access
location for power level adjustment.

For iDash Configuration:
NOTE: Only perform steps 9-11 if
using iDash gauge configuration. If
using the switch configuration skip
to step 12.
9. Check which iDash 1.8
Hardware Revision you have.
Look behind the iDash 1.8 as shown
in Figure 1.3-10 to check for pins.
Alternatively you can check the
“Hardware Rev:” in the “System
Information” menu, as shown in
Figure 1.3-11.
10. If using a single iDash Gauge:
(If using multiple, skip to step 11)
If you have a HW Rev 1 iDash 1.8:
A. Connect the Starter Cable to the
In-Cab Terminator. See Figures 1.3-12,
Step 2A.
B. Connect the In-Cab Terminator to the
iDash 6-Pin Port. See Figures 1.3-12.,
Step 2B.
If you have a HW Rev 2 iDash 1.8:
A. Connect the Starter Cable to the
iDash 6-Pin Port (Without the In-Cab-
Terminator). See Figures 1.3-12
B. Check for the pre-installed Jumper
Block to the iDash 2-Pin termination. See
Figures 1.3-13.

terminator.
All installs follow steps 12-15
12. Install the iDash 1.8 in an A-pillar
mount or a suction cup windshield-
mount gauge-pod.
13. Double-check all wire harness
routing under the hood and the dash
for proper clearance around moving
parts and sharp objects as well as heat
sources, then use the supplied nylon
tie straps to secure the wire harnesses
safely away from any control linkages
and the operator’s feet underneath
the dashboard. Be sure to step on the
brake and E-brake pedals and move
the tilt column and adjustable peddles,
if equipped, when checking for proper
harness clearance. Also turn the steer-
ing wheel lock to lock to ensure that
the harness does not hit, pull or other-
wise interfere with any moving or hot
parts of the truck.
14. Re-attach any previously removed
interior trim panels, reinstall the acous-
tic foam engine intake cover and oil fill
cap and lower the vehicle. Re-connect
the negative battery cable.
15. Start the vehicle, checking for
normal engine operation.
Section 1.3
DERRINGER TUNER INSTALLATION, cont'd...
Go over the entire
installation as a precautionary check
to ensure that all clamps are tight,
wiring and hoses are properly rout-
ed, and connections are correct and
tight. Make sure that the Derringer
wire harness is not lying in the way
of the brake and gas pedals, or any
moving parts.
If vehicle is equipped with adjust-
able pedals and/or column, ensure
that the harness is clear through the
full range of adjustments.
