Installation Instructions for the GenX5P and GenX6P OBD-II Tracking Devices with “J” Wiring Cable

Tools required: zip ties (provided in package)

Find the vehicle’s OBD-II port location. It is typically below the driver’s side of the dashboard or in the center console.

Plug the male OBD-II connector on the tracking device’s cable into the vehicle’s female OBD-II port.

Zip tie any excess wire to a wire loom behind the dashboard.

Plug the rectangular plug into the device.

With the QR code sticker facing down, route the device under the dashboard toward a location in the upper portion of the dashboard (if possible)

Find a secure location below the dash board to mount the device. Use zip ties to secure it to a wiring bundle or to the vehicle’s frame to ensure that it does not slip out while the vehicle is in operation.

Required Information

Record the serial number for the device and the VIN/Year/Make/Model of the vehicle on your worksheet for activation.

Testing & Troubleshooting the GenX Devices

In order to test the device, the vehicle must be parked outside in an open area so that it can receive a GPS lock. use the LED code descriptions below to confirm proper operation or troubleshoot a malfunctioning device.

If you do not observe LED’s, please check the vehicle’s power source to the device for a bad fuse. If you are hard-wiring the device, verify that the ground connection is good. If you are plugging the device into the vehicle’s OBD-II port, check the owner’s manual to determine which fuse provides power to the port and verify that it isn’t bad.

An experienced technician can run a volt meter to the OBD-II port to verify that it is receiving 12 volts of power. Find a ground source for the negative test connection and tap the positive end of the test connection to port 16 of the OBDII port.

Green LED’s

The unit will power up as the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The Green LED will show solid for approximately 30 seconds (there may be some brief flickers initially while the device initializes). However, after initial startup, the LED should flash in the following sequence.

Ignition on: Rapidly blinks 25 times on and off every 10 seconds. Ignition off: Slow blinks 8 times on and off every 8 seconds. After several hours of being parked, it will blink once every 3 seconds.

A properly functioning device should have a flashing green LED and no red LED’s after it is fully booted.

Troubleshooting

Red LED’s

If there is an error with the device, the red LED’s will blink in patterns of 2. The first blink tells you the area in which the device is having problems (i.e. hardware, modem, GPS, etc). The second blink provides specific error details. It will rotate through the codes if there are multiple error codes.
