Installation - Steps 7-8
7 Remove the black plug from the top controller and replace it with
the one from the SmartTOP wiring harness Make sure the lever
locks into place Since the introduction of the plug and play wiring
harness, the cloth tape does NOT have to be removed (as seen
here) any more!
8 Connect the original plug to the matching socket on the wiring
harness (also making sure the lever locks into place) Connect the
SmartTOP module to the plug on the harness The green LED on
the module should light up briefly (module starts up) and after a
quick tap on the unlock button on the remote, should blink in a
regular pattern (data bus activity) Put everything back together
We recommend leaving the USB cable installed and accessible for
easy firmware updates or module configuration via laptop
9 The best way to stow the bulky harness and connectors in the
tight space is shown here This way the lid(s) can be reinstalled
without problems
