### Installation & Setup

#### Installation & Setup Guide

This heavy-duty OBD2 Splitter Cable features a seamless "Plug & Play" design that allows you to power a hidden tracking device while leaving an open port available for mechanics and diagnostics. No cutting, splicing, or mechanical experience required.

#### Step 1: Locate Your Vehicle's OBD2 Port

- **Where to look:** In most vehicles, the diagnostic link connector (DLC) is located under the driver’s side dashboard, directly beneath the steering column or within 12 inches of it.
- **What it looks like:** It is a black or colored 16-pin trapezoidal socket matching the male end of your splitter cable.

#### Step 2: Plug in the Splitter Cable

- Take the single **Male end** of the SPY SPOT Splitter Cable and push it firmly into your vehicle's factory OBD2 port until it clicks securely into place.

#### Step 3: Connect Your Devices

Your single port is now expanded into two separate, fully wired 16-pin female connections:

- **Port A (Hidden Tracker):** Connect your GPS tracker, telematics unit, or fleet management device to the first female port.
- **Port B (Open Diagnostic Port):** Route the second female port to an accessible location under your dash. Leave this open for standard diagnostic code readers, emissions testing, or mechanics.

#### Step 4: Secure and Hide the Cabling

- **Tuck the wires:** Use the generous 59-inch cable length to route the wiring safely behind your vehicle's interior dashboard panels and away from the foot pedals.
- **Mounting:** Secure the hidden GPS tracker and the open diagnostic port using zip ties or dual-lock mounting tape to prevent shifting or rattling while driving.
