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.

able to remove the protective backing.

LINK 2018 & UP Chevy Traverse Central Right –p.7
7. The two headrest receivers will have to be removed to be able to remove the seat back cushion from
the seatback.

LINK 2018 & UP Chevy Traverse Central Right –p.8
8. The seat recline handle, and the t-shaped mounting bracket under the seat will have to be removed.
Then unclip and remove the seat cushion from the seat-base.

LINK 2018 & UP Chevy Traverse Central Right –p.9
9. Detach the rear seat access, mechanism wires from the seat-cushion support, and then remove the
support.

LINK 2018 & UP Chevy Traverse Central Right –p.10
11. Attach the seat-recline handle and fold the seat forward. Remove the two, seat folding tension wires
from the back of the seat. NOTE: there is tension on these wires and are hard to remove.
12. Unbolt and remove the seat-back pan. The mounting bracket for the armrest is removed at the same

LINK 2018 & UP Chevy Traverse Central Right –p.11
13. Remove the plastic trim that covers the elbow bracket that is over the seatbelt receiver.
14. Unbolt the elbow bracket and bend it forward to give enough space to remove the plastic trim covering

LINK 2018 & UP Chevy Traverse Central Right –p.12
15. Extended the wiring using the provided extension.

LINK 2018 & UP Chevy Traverse Central Right –p.13
16. Run the power from the battery to the LINK. To do this, thread the red power cable (+) under the doorstep
moulding 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.
17. 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 2018 & UP Chevy Traverse Central Right –p.14
18. 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.
19. Install the provided doorstop spacer using the M8-1.25X25mm bolt, washer, and plastic spacer. This
will enable the door to open wider.
