Installation |Power Source Connection
IMPORTANT
When searching for the correct wires, DO NOT use a test light style
circuit tester. Damage to vehicle computers and vehicle air bag restraint
systems result from the use of a test light causing a short circuit.
One Method for Locating Correct Vehicle Wires
1. Use a multimeter.
2. Set your multimeter to DC voltage.
3. Attach the negative (-) probe to the vehicle chassis ground.
4. Probe the wires you suspect of being the constant and ignition power sources.

© Nauto 2019. All Rights Reserved. 9
Installation |Power Source Connection
1. Find a source of constant +12V DC under the dashboard of the driver side of the car.
a. There are multiple places where this can be found, and locations vary between vehicles. Plan your installation according to your needs. You may nd
specic wiring details by specic vehicle online, such as on The 12 Volt (www.the12volt.com).
b. Ensure that the wire you choose is a constant source of +12V. If you use a multimeter, it should show approximately 12V or better between your source and
chassis ground regardless of the ignition switch position, open or closed doors, on or o lights and other accessories, etc.
2. Using your preferred connection method (poke & wrap, solder, or posi-tap), connect the red wire from the Nauto power supply to the source of +12V. Be sure NOT
to permanently disconnect the 12V source from other circuits in the vehicle and take care to make a strong connection to survive vibration and temperatures.
1. Crimp or solder a ring terminal at the end of the black wire.
2. Connect it directly to a suitable metal spot on the vehicle’s chassis to create a solid ground. One method that may be appropriate is using a self-tapping screw.
The driver’s kick panel under the dashboard is a common grounding area, or any painted metal surface.
1. Locate the wire that you have veried will have ignition (switched) power.
2. If you use a multimeter, probe the yellow wire with the meter lead to check:
a. There should be zero voltage.
b. With the key turned to the “ON” position in the ignition (do not start the vehicle), the wire should show 12 volts DC or more.
c. With the meter lead still probing the wire, start the vehicle. While the starter is cranking, the wire’s voltage should not drop by more than 2 volts.
d. Turn the key to the “OFF” position. The voltage should return to 0.

WARNING
Do not plug harness into the Nauto Device while making connections.

Installation |OBD Connection
1. Locate the OBD port within the vehicle, removing vehicle panels as necessary.
2. Gently remove the factory OBD plug from the mount.
3. Select and install the vehicle-appropriate adapter from Nauto’s OBD Adapter Kit (page 6).
4. Using the appropriate adapter, replace the vehicle’s OBD port with the female end of the Nauto Y-cable.
5. If there was an existing device in the vehicle’s OBD port, please reconnect it utilizing the Nauto Y-cable.
6. Plug the male end of the Nauto Y-cable into the vehicle’s OBD port.
7. Zip tie all connections to help ensure plugs will not disconnect.
After making proper power and ground connections, properly secure all loose and extra wiring. A slot built
into the side of the power supply unit can help to secure excess wiring to conceal and secure the wires of the
harness, and trim or bundle up unused wires.

Installation |Power Cable Connection
1. Locate the power end of the power cable, or the end with the small black block
(see image for reference).
2. Leaving 8-10” of the cable exposed, start tucking the cable under the windshield
headliner, starting just above the rearview mirror.
a. The cable should be buried under the headliner so that it will not slide out or
drop from the headliner.
3. Route the cable to the left (driver’s side of the vehicle) and remove the A-pillar
panel to route the cable around, behind, and away from all airbag components
and related vehicle accessories.
4. Pull the door gasket away from the body of the vehicle and run the power cable
into the channel near the pinch weld, but without crossing over the pinch weld,
towards the power supply unit.
5. Connect the white clip into the power supply. Bundle and secure all excess wiring
so it will not interfere with vehicle and driver controls.
6. Mount the power supply unit and bundled wires in a secure location under the
dash of the vehicle with zip ties.
a. The power supply is not waterproof and is intended to be placed inside of the
vehicle. It is not designed to be mounted externally or under the hood of a
vehicle.

Installation |Device Installation
1. Connect the Nauto Device to power.
Insert the power cable end that extends from under the headliner into the
device’s power port. The Nauto Device will now boot up.
2. Check for green lights on the device.
This can take up to one minute. Blue lights will appear on the device rst,
meaning the device is updating software, followed by two green lights.
3. Fit the windshield mount to the back of the Nauto Device.
Do not remove the adhesive backing at this time.
4. Review live images from the Nauto Device.
The Nauto Installer app will show live images from both interior and exterior
cameras. This can take a few minutes.
5. Determine the optimal mounting location.
This is based on the live images and recommended locations (see image on
right).
6. Locate the small screw on the accessible side of the device.
Find this on the exposed side from the rearview mirror. Rotate the T5 screw
clockwise to lock the Nauto Device into place. The other screw will not be
tightened.
7. Clean the desired location using the provided swab.
Dry the area with a clean paper towel, removing all lm and residue.

8. Mark location for the Nauto Device.
Using the live images as guidance, mark the location for the Nauto Device
on the windshield with tape or marker. For optimal device performance:
a. The forward-facing camera should have a clear view of the front of the
vehicle with no obstructions.
b. The forward-facing camera should not be blocked by window tint or metal
lm found near the rearview mirror. If neither side of the rearview mirror
will produce the desired result, please contact Nauto for additional options.
c. The driver-facing camera should not be easily obstructed by the driver-side
visor.
d. The cameras should not block any sensors or rearview mirror functions.
9. Peel the liner from the adhesive on the windshield mount.
10. Slowly align the device into position.
Check the live images on the app. If your view is properly aligned, gently press
the whole assembly to the windshield.
11. Press and hold.
Press and hold the complete mount to the windshield for at least 15 seconds.
15 seconds is the minimum time for the adhesive to adhere properly. Failure to
properly secure the Nauto Device may cause it to detach from the windshield,
which may lead to catastrophic damage or injury.
12. Verify the mount and Nauto Device are securely attached.
13. Secure all dash panels.
Make sure all cables are secure and out of the driver’s view and movement.
