WARNINGS
PLEASE REVIEW BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION
Look through the entire manual to understand the installation process.
Watch the tutorial videos that are found on the tablet.
During the installation use the ‘BYPASS’ mode to move the LINK.
Do not use the pendant or ‘PENDANT’ mode until you have reset the home position.
The LINK is designed to ALWAYS use the original seat. The biggest challenge this will present for the installer will
be extending the vehicle’s original seat wire harness, as this MUST be done. The general process does not vary, but
the exact steps will vary due to the trim level, the model and seat options from the vehicle manufacturer. Keeping
this in mind, we have made an effort to clearly describe the process required in this manual. However, it is possible
that the pictures in this manual do not match exactly the specific vehicle you are working on.
SEAT WIRING EXTENSION PROCESS
The wiring must be extended 80 inches. This extension is placed near the seat connectors that are under the seat.
The extension (80 inches) then passes under the LINK and loops around the back of the OEM seat –allowing the
seat and the LINK to travel in and out of the vehicle. Depending on the make, model and seat options, there are
components that must be disconnected, bypassed and/or relocated. On vehicle models with a seat position
memory function, the forward/backward, tilt and height adjustments as well as seat memory are replaced by the
LINK. However, the seat recline function is retained. (EXAMPLE: In the Ford F150, 2009-2014 model; the seat
height, tilt, forward and backward adjustment motors are disconnected and removed with the seat frame, but the
recline motor is retained. The control and memory box are relocated to the floor under the seat, next to the seat
connectors. The seat position sensor is also relocated to the floor under the seat. The wiring harness is then
extended from this point under the seat.)
PLEASE NOTE: If the ignition is turned on while extending a wire harness that includes airbags, this may cause the
airbag light to stay on following the installation.
ADAPT SOLUTIONS CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FAULTY WIRE EXTENSIONS.
Please use caution during the installation.
ANDROID TABLET –LINK I.T. SOFTWARE
If this is your first installation of a LINK, you will have also purchased an Android tablet that is required for the
installation and maintenance of the LINK product. This tablet will have the LINK IT software already installed.
We have prepared quick, easy and to the point tutorial videos imbedded into the software. Take a moment and
watch the video that shows all the features of the tablet. To do this, open the LINK IT app and tap on ‘INFO’.
Make sure your volume is turned up and tap on App-101. The video will start automatically.
REDUCED POWER MODE
A safeguard is integrated in the LINK system. Following any changes to the preset or sequence of the LINK, the
unit will enter a reduced power mode. This is to allow you to visually inspect the movements of the LINK to ensure
it is not damaging the vehicle or itself during its first cycle. On the tablet, a yellow bar will appear at the top of the
screen to indicate you are in reduced power mode. To exit, simply run the LINK a full cycle. NOTE:It is possible
that the LINK will stop during this cycle as power is reduced. Visually confirm nothing is impeding the movements
and then simply press the IN or OUT button again to continue the cycle. During the installation, if the 12V power is
removed and replaced at the same time as the 9V battery (LINK memory back up) is unplugged or fully drained,
the LINK will enter reduced power mode. Simply run a full cycle to exit. PLEASE NOTE: You will find an explanation
of this mode on a YELLOW tag attached to the hand pendant. Please explain the functions of the reduced power
mode to the LINK user (your client).
For technical support call 866.641.0419 or email [e-mail]
Please have the serial number of the unit on hand before placing your call.

1. Remove the passenger side OEM seat, and place on a workbench and remove all the plastic trims.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.4
2. Disconnect the seat back wiring connectors, remove control box (if present). Disconnect seat back,
remove the wiring, and then remove the seat back.
3. Remove the seat cushion.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.5
4. Remove the seat belt receiver, wire seat cushion supports, and the metal seat pan.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.6
5. Remove the seat wiring harness. The photos of the wiring harness are for a manually reclining seat.
6. Drill out the rivets that hold the lumbar adjuster, which, will be reinstalled on the LINK seat base.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.7
7. The interior center armrest support trim will have to be removed, and modified to allow clearance for
the LINK seat brackets. Cut off the protrusion halve way across and then reinstall.
8. Run the power from the battery to the LINK. To do this, thread the red power cable (+) under the
doorstep molding and through the firewall. Make sure you pass through a grommet in the firewall to
prevent the cable from chaffing. Install the circuit breaker near the battery and then connect the
battery to the circuit breaker. Attach the black ground wire (-) to the vehicle’s frame, under the
doorstep moulding using a self-tapping screw. Locate a spot where the sheet metal is doubled-up to
ensure a proper ground.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.8
9. The wiring harness extension can now be made using the provided multibrand cable. Extend the OEM wire
harness with the provided connectors and 18 gauge multi strand extension. For best results, extend one wire
at a time. Test continuity of each wire through the extension to avoid errors. (If you wish to keep a record of
your wire extensions for reference, you will find a lined sheet at the very end of this manual for that purpose.)
The wiring extension will be routed out of the bottom left hand corner of the seat. Control box (if present) will
be relocated to the floor.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.9
10. The Position the extended floor connector on the floor before installing the floor adapter to avoid
having to unbolt the adapter to pass the connector and control box (if present) at a later stage. The
LINK floor adapter # LK-F250C11R-01 can now be installed. NOTE: On some models, insulation under
the carpet may also have to be removed to be able to bolt down the floor adapter.
11. Remove the LINK from the shipping box and set it on a table or workbench. Connect auxiliary 12V
power to the LINK. The LINK will ‘beep’ during the installation. (See LINK Audible Warnings chart
for further references.)

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.10
12. Next, connect the LINK to the Android tablet via Bluetooth. Connect the Bluetooth module (small,
blue and white, 4 pronged connector) to the LINK pendant plug. Make sure the tablet and LINK are
connected. (Detailed explanations are found in the video tutorial, under INFO.) Using the LINK IT
application, open ‘BYPASS’. Press the ‘PIVOT OUTWARD’ button to move the LINK out just enough to
see the eight (8) bolt holes.
13. Place the LINK in the vehicle on the floor adapter. Use the four longer (3/8’’-16 x 1¼’’) socket cap
bolts to secure the LINK by the pivot, and use the four shorter (3/8’’-16 x 7/8’’) to secure the interior
of the LINK. Be careful not to pinch the LINK wire harness between the LINK and the floor
adapter. IMPORTANT: Run the LINK harness around and under the pivot. Do not run over the top of
the pivot as it can interfere with the function of the slide.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.11
14. Connect the previously installed 12v power supply to the LINK, and using the ‘bypass’ mode on
your ADAPT SOLUTIONS tablet carefully ‘pivot’ ‘travel’ and ’tilt’ the LINK out of the vehicle
to install the seat.
15. Install the metal seat pan with the self-tapping screws provided.
16. Install the seat belt bracket # LK-F250C11R-02 with the provided M12X1.75X25mm bolt and lock
washer.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.12
17. Install the lumbar adjuster with the self-tapping screws provided.
18. Install the wire seat cushion supports.
19. Before reinstalling the seat belt receiver, the OEM bolt will have to be replaced by the provided
M10-1.5X25mm G.8.8 hex bolt reuse the two washers.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.13
20. Before the seat cushion is reinstalled, the plastic flap will have to be modified as in the photos.
Install the seat cushion onto the seat adapter. The tab on the front right hand side will have to be
bent up to allow clearance.
21. Bend the tabs at the bottom of the seat back.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.14
22. Route the extended wiring harness into the seat at the lower right hand corner, over the round bar.
Locate the wiring connectors to the approximate positions, and fasten them in place with zip ties.
Be sure to attach the unused motor wires in the seat. The seat back, can now be reinstalled onto
the LINK. Run the wiring connectors to the seat back. Pay specific attention to firmly fastening the
harness where it exits the seat back.
23. Reinstall the cable for the lumbar adjuster.

LINK 2011-2016 Ford F250 Crew Cab Front Right p.15
24. Attach the pendant wire on the side under the right hand shroud and position it to come out
between the seat back and seat cushion. Leave enough loose cable to be able to plug in and unplug
the pendant and the Bluetooth module. The connector can be attached with Velcro under the
shroud. Verify the positioning of the wire to make sure there is no chance of it pinching or binding
once the seat moves.
25. Remove the plastic elbow on the seat adjustment switch, harness, before routing the harness.
