There could be situations where a hardwired install may not be suitable e.g. a temporary install. This is when our Cigarette Lighter and OBDII adapters can be very useful. These adapters are sold separately.
Using these adapters is trivial and does not require the assistance of a vehilce electrician/mechanic. One end goes in to the vehicle's OBDII or Cig. Lighter Port (please check the Vehicle's manual if you can't find these ports). While the other end snaps in to the Dart3 - no tools involved.
Emulated Ignition Only
Do note that the Ignition wire of the Dart3 is not connected to the vehilce when using these adapters. The harness options simply provide power to the device. Only Emulated Ignition can be used, this is when ignition is set based on movement, which may not be as fool proof as using a hardwired ignition. In many vehicles, power to the Cigarette Lighter port is turned off when the ignition is turned off.
