OBDII Plug >> To connect
the Racepak to the on-board
diagnostic system look
for the OBDII connection,
which normally is located
under the dash on the
driver's side. I recommend
using a little electrical tape
with this connection to
keep it in place and also to
keep the wire away from
the driver's legs while
he or she is on track.
Power Source >> Racepak
requires 12-volt power to
work. Because we wanted
to keep things portable,
instead of hard wiring it to
the vehicle, we wired in a
cigarette lighter connection
to gain quick access to
power in any vehicle that
still has a cigarette lighter.
RAM Mount >> You can
order RAM Mounts in
different lengths of shafts
and different suction-
cup sizes to design any
system you want for your
application. For precaution
in race conditions, we
ordered two suction-cup
systems to hold in the
Racepak, which set us
back about $80 shipped.
