1. tiwiPRO™ Installation Overview
These instructions are designed to guide you through the installation and activation of tiwiPRO™—a device that can send you,
the manager, communications regarding your driver’s vehicle speeds and aggressive driving behaviors.
2. Adhere tiwiPRO™
Caution: To comply with FCC SAR rules governing RF energy absorption, this device should be mounted greater than 8 inches
(20cm) from the human body.
a. Park the vehicle on a flat surface with no incline.
b. Mount tiwiPRO™ in a vehicle by adhering it to a windshield or by adhering it to the dashboard.Typically, tiwiPRO™ is
adhered to the inside of a vehicle windshield in one of these locations on the left side of the windshield (Figure 1 on
page6).
• Lower left corner (driver side) of windshield.
• Upper left corner (driver side) of windshield.
• Some states have restrictions on attaching items to the windshield. Make sure your installation conforms to state laws.
2.1 Adhere tiwiPRO™ to Windshield
Before deciding on a windshield installation location, you need to determine if the vehicle has side impact air bags. If it does,
tiwiPRO™ should not be installed in the upper left corner, which requires routing the tiwiPRO™ cable through the vehicle’s A
pillar (the metal beam supporting the windshield to the frame). When side impact air bags are present, the A pillar is not an option
for this use; therefore, you will need to install the device in the lower left corner of the windshield.

Figure 1: tiwiPRO™ device location,
left side (driver side) of windshield
To adhere tiwiPRO™ to a windshield:
Note: Your windshield needs to be at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer before adhering your device.
a. Remove any obstructions, such as temporary window stickers, such as oil change reminders.
b. Use included alcohol wipe from installation kitto swab area clean. Wait for the area on the windishield to dry completely.
Caution: The tiwiPRO™ must be positioned so that the cable end of the device faces the dashboard. If it
is not positioned this way, the device will not function properly.
c. Position the tiwiPRO™ in the windshield, making sure the LEDs are at the top and the cable extends from the bottom
of the device.
d. Remove the backing from the adhesive pads.
e. Press the device against the windshield and hold for up to 30 seconds to ensure the device adheres to the windshield.

3. Route tiwiPRO™ Cable
Route the cable extending from the tiwiPRO™ to the OBD-II connector. The route required depends on where the device is
being positioned. See section 3.1, 3.2, or 4 as needed for more information on routing cables for your installation.
3.1 Route Cable from Lower Left Windshield
If the tiwiPRO™ device was installed in the lower left corner of the windshield, route the cable between the dash and the edge of
the door toward the underside of the dashboard.
3.2 Route Cable from Upper Left Windshield
If the tiwiPRO™ device was installed in the upper left corner of the windshield, route the cable in the A pillar or door bar down
to the underside of the dashboard. To accomplish this, perform the following:
a. In most vehicles, tuck the cable under the cover molding that covers the A pillar. To do this, loosen the molding using a
flat-edge tool (i.e. flat-head screwdriver, cable tuck tool, etc) or remove the screws holding the molding to the A pillar.
b. Insert the cable behind the cover molding and reinstall the cover molding by snapping it back into place or replacing the
removed screws. Make sure the cable does not interfere with any existing wires or cables.
c. Route the remainder of the cable between the dash and the edge of the door toward the underside of the dashboard.
4. Plug tiwiPRO™ into Vehicle OBD-II Connector
WARNING: If you are installing tiwiPRO™ , ensure that the cables are far enough away from the
driver’s feet area that they won’t interfere with the floor pedals. Failure to do so can cause an accident.
a. Inspect the area under the dashboard and find the OBD-II connector (also referred to as a data link connector or DLC).
Sometimes the connector is covered by a decorative dash panel or is behind the ashtray, coin box or wiper lever. Figure
2and Figure 3 on page8show examples. For specific locations by vehicle make and model, see Appendix A: OBD-II

Connector Location By Make/Model on page 50.
Note: Since 1996, U.S. Federal Law requires all vehicles (domestic and imported) sold in the United States use an OBD-II con-
nector. If your vehicle is older than 1996, look under the hood in the engine compartment for a Vehicle Emission Control Informa-
tion (VECI) label, which indicates if the vehicle is OBD-II compliant. The VECI label may be located on the bottom side of the
hood, the radiator fan shroud or the strut tower. If the vehicle is not OBD-II compliant, you need to contact customer support for
alternate instructions.
b. Identify how to route the tiwiPRO™ cable to the OBD-II connector, then route the cable, ensuring it does not obstruct
normal use of under dash controls, such as the hood release, parking brake, brake pedal and gas pedal.
c. Plug the tiwiPRO™ cable into an open port in the OBD-II connector.
Note: The cable and OBD-II connector were designed to fit in close spaces. In vehicles with limited space, the cable can exit from
either side of the connector and can be tied (with the supplied cable tie) to the connector through the slots in the connector. This will
minimize interference with other controls in the vehicle.

5. Verify LEDs on tiwiPRO™ Are Working
The LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the tiwiPRO™ indicate the following.
•BLUE indicates the device has GPS lock
•GREEN indicates the device has power
•RED indicates a violation has been detected (this light will not illuminate for this test)
Note: If the device does not power on within 3 minutes, unplug the device, wait 5 minutes, then re-plug in the device. If GPS lock is
not detected within five minutes (no blue light), move the vehicle so that it has unobstructed access to open sky.
If there is no power or GPS lock, perform the following:
a. Ensure device is plugged into the OBD-II connector properly.
b. If device is connected properly, disconnect device.
c. Verify orientation of OBD-II connector in vehicle. Pin connector on top left (Figure 4) is Pin 1.
Figure 4: Diagram of OBD-II Connector in Vehicle.
Pins 4 and 16 are used for checking voltage.
d. Check in-vehicle OBD-II connector with a multi-meter.

56 © 2008 tiwi™ iv© 2008 tiwi™ iv© 2008 tiwi™
i. Connect positive multi-meter lead to Pin Connector 16.
ii. Connect negative multi-meter lead to Pin Connector 4.
6. Orient tiwiPRO™
Orienting your tiwiPRO™ establishes an initial communication with the tiwiPRO portal at http://www.tiwipro.com. Orienting
the device ensures that alerts such as speeding, hard acceleration, and hard braking are accurate. If the device is oriented improp-
erly, inaccurate data will be sent to the portal.
To orient your tiwiPRO™, perform the following:
a. Park the vehicle on a flat surface with no incline.
b. Wait for blue LED to illuminate. This indicates that you have GPS lock, and the device is ready to be oriented.
Note: It can take up to 10 minutes for the blue LED to illuminate.
c. Press and hold the green button for approximately 15 seconds until the red LED flashes. After approximately 30 sec-
onds, one of two things will happen:
i. All LEDs will flash a few times. A voice will sound saying, “Device oriented.” tiwiPRO™ is now oriented.
ii. A voice will sound, saying, “Invalid orientation.” If this occurs, wait 3-5 minutes and repeat step 6c. If the orientation
does not succeed after 3 tries, unplug the tiwiPRO for approximately 15 minutes and re-try step 6c.
d. If you do not see the red LED flash, let go, wait 20-30 seconds, then retry step 6b.
7. Secure Cable
Once tiwiPRO™ activation is complete, return to the vehicle to ensure cable routing is clean. Neatly fasten with cable ties and
hide the tiwiPRO™ cable to prevent interference with vehicle operation.
