Unprofessional cable-laying and cable connections cause again and again
malfunctions or damage of components. Correct laying and connection of
cables is essential for long-lasting, fault-free functioning of retrofit
components.
Please note the following points:
–
Always lay cables in such a way that they cannot be
damaged. Never lay them for example over sharp edges or
next to hot or moving parts.
–
Lay cables alongside original cable sets and connect them as
much as possible with insulating tape or cable binders.
–
If cables have to be laid from the vehicle interior into the
engine or boot, use the existing bushings in the walls.

Electrical connection / plug connections, P1 (see ✎ D 1)
ORANGE (P1.1)
This cable must be connected to a switched power supply. Observe that
the voltage does not drop when the engine is started. Terminal (+15)
GREY (P1.2)
Connect to the grey wire that goes to earth when the bonnet is opened. If
no such circuit exists, fit an additional pin-switch that gives off a ground
signal when the bonnet is opened.
