1. INTRODUCTION
his document describes the installation outline and detail for the Connect2Car MFC also
known as the Multi Function Controller Module is designed to provide multi-purpose
solutions for real-time control and management of vehicle accessories. he Multi
Functional Controller is a new type of flexible dynamic controller system geared
specifically towards car accessory management. he heart of the MFC unit lies in the
flexible user configurable software management and control system. Using a cell phone,
PDA or CarPC Computer system, the user or installer can specifically control any accessory
in any manner they wish, or use known preconfigured packages. Using the selected
configuration packages, the controller device (phone, PDA e.g.) establishes a two-way
communication with the hardware unit in the vehicle, and provides the user with virtual
dashboard of their controls of interest, based on their configurations. Furthermore, the
rich user interface skins also provide a more customized experience and local
personalization to taste.

1.3 Safety Issues
It is recommended that you read these simple guidelines carefully before use, to
ensure the safe operation of the module. he MFC should be installed by a
professional automotive electronics installer.
he fact that there is unlimited control through the SOF DASH interface software
could give rise to one putting the accessories in and unconditional or dangerous state.

CAR.COM
(e.g. cranking the ignition of a manual transmission vehicle in gear, controlling
moving parts without caution, e.g. window, door poppers, hydraulics, linear
actuators, etc…) Because of this unforeseen multi-functionality, Connect2Car, Inc.
CANNO VALIDA E NOR ENSURE HA ANY OR ALL SAFE Y REQUIREMEN S ARE ME
DURING INS ALLA ION AND HEREFORE ACCEP S NO RESPONSIBIL Y FOR HE
INS ALLA ION OR LOSS CAUSED BY HE INS ALLA ION OR USE OF HE MFC MODULE
AND HE SOF DASH IN ERFACE.
Below are outlined safety features implemented in the MFC to minimize risk of
damage or unwanted use or control of an accessory with the MFC.
1.3.1 RECORDING AND SAVING THE INSTALLATION WIRING SETUP
he first thing you “user or installer” should do during installation is to label
the installation wiring in the SOF DASH “Installer Wiring” menu. his
automatically uses this information to remind you of accessory configuration
mismatches. his also serves as a good reference point if you were to change
that accessory control in the future. Most times when people go to a different
installer to install or change some wiring in their vehicles, the installer
completely rips out and rejects the old wiring because it wasn’t done by them,
and charges for a totally new job. he main reason being that they do not want
to start retracing or following somebody else’s wiring. Sometimes the previous
job might be obviously bad. However, this installer menu helps to share this
installation data between old and new installers. You can input detailed
information about the wire, its color, type, comments on its usage/connection
etc. his helps to refresh things later, and also it is used to remind you when
changing controls in the SOF DASH interface.
1.3.2 SIMULATION MODE FOR RECIPES:
If you are going to be configuring or trying out a custom recipe that is not
endorsed by Connect2Car, make sure you test it out in the software simulation
mode and observe and make sure the output effects on the accessory
indicators are what you expect. If you are not sure, consult your installer to
verify or test the Recipe, based on your current car Installation/configuration.
ALSO MAKE SURE O CHECK HE ACCESSORY SE INGS OF EACH RECIPE BEFORE
YOU USE HEM. HE ACCESSORY SE ING IN HE RECIPE HAS O MA CH HE
SAME ACCESSORY LOCA ION INS ALLED IN YOUR VECHILE. E.g. using a recipe
from somebody that runs a door controller accessory on ACC 1, might do
something else in your car if a different accessory is installed on ACC 1 in your
car. You will have to check your installation wiring diagram to make sure ACC 1
in your car runs the door lock control, or map it to the correct accessory
output.
1.3.3 ACCESSORY TIMEOUT FEATURE:
he accessory timeout feature forces the MFC unit to turn off any given
accessory, based on its timeout setting. his is to safeguard against unwanted
effects that can be caused by accidentally trying out or unexpectedly using an
unknown or badly configured Recipe (Accessory control configuration setting).
Before you try out or activate any recipes, make sure you configure the safety
timeout settings of each of the MFC accessory outputs. he time out settings
should reflect a realistic timeout of the maximum safe time that accessory
should be activated. Default setting is 5 seconds for all the accessory outputs.

MFC INSTALLATION MANUAL Page 5 of 22
CONNECT
2
CAR.COM
It is also recommended that you use very short timeouts for accessories that
control electro-mechanical devices or features e.g. ignition, windows, sunroof,
linear actuators etc.
1.3. LOST CONNECTION SETTINGS
he SOF DASH interface by default will automatically turn off all the accessory
outputs once the user control device has been disconnected either via data
cable or is out of Bluetooth connection range. his setting can be over ridden
from the configuration settings. It can be configured per accessory and a [WAI
FOR RECONNEC ] time can be set so as to control how long the unit will wait
for the user before engaging into the safe mode. It is recommended that you
do not disable the safe mode for accessories that control electro-mechanical
devices or features e.g. ignition, windows, sunroof, linear actuators etc.

2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
he MFC accessory customizable functionality is presented as vehicle data called RECIPES.
In the recipe you make a series of steps, and say what happens or gets activated through
each step. You set these based on timing (e.g. max time, min time etc) or tachometer
reading (e.g. if below certain RPM’s, if above certain RPM’s e.g.)
One can create recipes for practically almost any purpose since the hardware interface to
the vehicle is a universal blank multi-functional control device that has standard input and
output interfaces to most vehicles. he hardware unit performs remote functional
instructions contained in the Recipes. hese Recipes are sent over the wireless or wired
link at runtime command by the user. hese Recipes are also saved locally as XML
(Extensible Markup Language) formatted data files on the device, which describe the
functionality of the accessory.
he user interface to the vehicle is on the smart phone device. he mobile device or PC
acts as a tool to hold, configure and deploy the recipes which are actually run in real time
on the hardware controller while reporting status of activities back to the smart phone
device. Recipes can be made, shared or customized on the mobile device, and are created
to fit the interface of the accessory to be managed and also the functionality based on
user interaction.
Sample recipes include Car Alarms, Keyless Entry; achometer Shift light, urbo timers,
Strobe/Emergency flashers, Engine cut-off, Window rollup/down, Remote Starter,
Fuel/Ignition Cut-off etc.
Administrators can setup package of Recipes for users/installers. E.g. Recipe packages
with Recipes specifically setup for a Ford Mustang security system installation, a custom
urbo timer Recipe, hydraulics control recipe, or even a custom combo.

3. .1 MAIN HARNESS 12 PIN CONNECTOR
3. .1a Red (+) Constant Power Input
his wire supplies the main power for the MFC and must be fused. Before
connecting make sure P2-Black is wired to a solid chassis ground.
3. .1b Black (-) Chassis Ground
Connect this wire to a paint free metal chassis ground. Make sure wire has a
solid connection and does not move around
3. .1c Green/Yellow/Pink/Orange ACC1- (+) or (-) Outputs
hese connectors are output from the 4 MFC internal relays (rated up to 12v
@ 30amps peak). hese wires will be connected to the vehicle accessories
such as door locks, radio turn on, trunk release, etc... hey can all either
send a (+) or (-) Signal depending on what the ACC source input wire is
connected to. (P8-white wire) See pg10 for details.
3. .1d Brown -Tachometer Input
With this wire connected to the vehicles tachometer signal wire, it will allow
you to get an RPM read out on the Connect2Car SOF DASH Software running
on your controller device (e.g. phone, PC or PDA, etc). he RPM can be used
in REMO E S AR recipes to synchronize with the RPM while starting (as well
as using a limited pulse time). It can also be set up to activate any specific
output based on the RPM (e.g. activate/deactivate an output below or above
a desired RPM level). For accurate performance of the tachometer readings,
the tachometer must be calibrated from the SOF DASH software interface.
3. .1e White (+) or (-) ACC 1- Source Input
his is the input for the internal relays that control P3, P4, P5, and P6. If
connected to a 12V+ the outputs of Acc (1-4) will then be 12V+. If connected
to a (-) chassis ground the outputs will then be (-). his wire must be fused
with a 30A max fuse to protect the vehicle and MFC board in case of a short.

CAR.COM
3. .1f Gray/Light Blue/Blue/Purple ACC 5-6 / 500ma (-) Outputs
hese four wires will supply a 500ma (-) output and in most cases will require
the use of external relays. You can use these to connector to a direct
accessory that requires a 500ma (-) or less trigger. For any other type of
control, these outputs should be coupled with an external relay, where by
the relay coil is grounded by this output. See section 0, page 16 for details.
3. .2 BLUETOOTH ANTENNA CONNECTION
Connect the Connect2Car MFC Bluetooth® antenna to this port (optionall
supplied in the box). Mount the Bluetooth antenna unit in a suitable location in
the vehicle that is not closed or boxed in by metal panels. A suitable location is
somewhere on/above the dashboard or panel height level or at least window/glass
level for best reception. With the Bluetooth antenna plugged in, you can now
perform all your MFC controlling via the wireless Bluetooth interface. he led
indicators on the Bluetooth antenna indicate active Bluetooth® status. Red only
(indicates power). Blue/flashing colors indicate live Bluetooth connection.
Note: The Bluetooth® data connection will be overridden / disabled if the serial
data cable is plugged in and the controlling computer/device has the serial port
activated.
3. .3 SERIAL DATA CONNECTOR
his gives you local serial port control to the MFC device. Use standard DB9
(Female) cable provided in the box. An active serial port data connection with the
MFC unit overrides the Bluetooth® connection.
Note: The Bluetooth® data connection will be overridden and disabled if the serial data
cable is plugged in and the controlling computer/device has the serial port activated.
3. . USB Chargers
he PDA/PHONE charger connector will charge devices with a USB charging
capability. he charger can handle up to 5A maximum @ 5v. Check your device
manufacturer for details.
3. .5 POWER AND SERIAL DATA LED INDICATOR
he LED’s can be mounted anywhere for visible indication. he green LED
signifies a power connection and the yellow LED signifies active serial data
connection. If the yellow LED lights up, the Bluetooth® connection will be
automatically disabled/bypassed (See section 0, pg 12)

.3 CAR CONTROL (Alarm Style with Remote Start)
This is an example of a direct installation setup, however, in this setup; you waste a lot of
accessory output connections, due to the intermediate sections needed to achieve a single
functionality. Triggers in the picture are assumed to be setup depending on the purpose (i.e.
positive controlled or negative triggered setups).

5. EXAMPLE ACCESSORY WIRING CONFIGURATIONS
Since the unit has the capability of controlling any 12V electronic device you want,
possibilities are pretty much endless. Below are a few examples of the many things you
can control. All the necessary software configurations for the accessory examples below
are included with the SOF DASH software interface. You can also make your own custom
configurations for custom accessory controls (refer to the software manual).
5.1 REMOTE START ACCESSORY CONFIGURATION
he MFC can be used as a stand alone Remote Start or can also be used to activate an
external remote starter unit. By using ACC (1-4) and setting the Black/Red Input wire
to positive you can wire into the vehicles Ignition Harness to Remote start your car.
Making the right connections is important and should be done by a professional or a
person who has a good understanding of the vehicle electrical system that they are
working on. he recommended remote start configuration utilizes tachometer as well
as timed remote start. he tachometer timing/calibration is the basis of the ignition
crank, and the pulsed time out serves as the maximum possible crank time limit.
Connect2Car ACCEP S NO RESPONSIBIL Y FOR HE INS ALLA ION OR CONFIGURA ION
OF HE REMO E
S AR FEA URE IN A MANUAL RANSMISSION VEHICLE. he fact that there is no
guarantee that the transmission will be in a neutral position for manual transmission
vehicles puts your or the car at risk of damaging/injuring ones self or others in the
surrounding should the ignition crank while the car is in gear.
5.1.1 TRIGGERED REMOTE START
Setup any of the MFC accessory wires as a positive controlled or negative
controlled accessory wire, depending on the type of trigger on the external
remote start unit. Connect the final trigger wire to the trigger input of the
remote start unit.

Setup the software configuration for a single pulse on that accessory wire. On
the software, setup which convenient button on the device you want to use for
the remote start.
o SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
The single pulse Recipe is included in the default download package of the
software. There is also a dela ed single pulse recipe that makes sure ou
hold down the button for a minimum dela before the pulse will be
triggered. You can use this if ou want to filter random accidental ke
press on the phone. You can adjust all the timing dela s as needed from
the software interface.
For the trigger accessor line, set the maximum safet timeout for that
line to be 1sec. (This means that no matter what recipe/accessor
configuration is assigned to that line, the maximum time that output will
be activated is 1 sec)
5.1.2 DIRECT REMOTE START
In this setup, the MFC directly interfaces with all the necessary wires needed for a
remote Start, however in this configuration, you use up more accessory wires
compared to the triggered remote start. Also note that for this configuration to
work, some vehicles might require and ignition bypass kit to override an
electronic chipped key or any other type of factory security override.

o Finding the Starter wire.
he starter wire can be found in the ignition harness which will be coming off
of the Key cylinder. his wire when tested will read 12V+ only when the key is
in the crank/start position and will return to a ground (-) when the key is not in
the crank/start position.
o Finding the Ignition wire/wires
he Ignition wire/wires can also be found at the ignition harness. Some
vehicles may have more than one ignition wire and it is important that they all
receive power in order for the remote start to work. When testing an ignition
wire it will read ground (-) when in the key is in the accessory position and will
be 12V+ when the key is in the run position and also in the crank position.
o Finding the Accessory wire/wires
he Accessory wire/wires are not needed in order for the remote start to work,
however in order to turn on the Radio, Heater controls, and AC controls you
will also have to power up the accessory wire/wires. When testing accessory
wires they will read 12V+ when the key is in the accessory and run position,
and will shut down and read ground(-) when in the crank position.
