• Route the cable along a suitable path (for example, along existing wiring harness) and then
fasten it using the supplied cable tie.
• When selecting a fastening point, make sure that the RaceChip is protected from expo-
sure to water, heat, and vibrations.
• Do not wrap the RaceChip in an airtight bag as this can lead to a built up of condensa-
tion.
• Do not route the cable in areas in your vehicle that become overly hot during operation
(e.g. the exhaust system, turbocharger, etc.).
• Do not route the cable along movable parts.
• Never fasten the cable onto hoses (e.g. a brake hose) as this could result in abrasion.
– Finishing the installation in the engine bay
• Re-attach the cover of your engine and close the bonnet.
• The basic installation is now complete and the RaceChip can be used
(in the SPORT tuning stage if you have app control).
• Take your car for a test drive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact our
Customer Service department (see Contact for details).
