*<big>Connecting wires</big>
 +
** Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving parts. Try to avoid heat emitting and moving objects near the wires.
 +
** The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires, it should be applied again.
 +
** If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be applied.
 +
** Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.
 +
*<big>Connecting power source</big>
 +
** Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode, power might be still available on the power wires. Depending on the car model, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
 +
** When the module is connected, measure the voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.
 +
** It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
 +
** 3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.
 +
*<big>Connecting ignition wire</big>
 +
** Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does not disappear after starting the engine.
 +
** Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).
 +
** Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.
 +
** Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay, which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.
 +
*<big>Connecting ground wire</big>
 +
** Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
 +
** If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.
 +
** For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.

| [[File:Alert.png|left|link=]] || <b>PAY ATTENTION! Connecting the power supply must be carried out in a very low impedance point of on-board vehicle network. These points in the car are the battery terminals. Therefore, we recommend connecting the power of {{{model|FMB96X}}} (GND and POWER wires) directly to the battery terminals. Another valid option is to connect the wires to the main POWER cable inside the fuse box (if there is none, then to the power supply where the fuses of vehicle’s computer are), GND wire must be connected in a special point, designed to connect GND vehicle computer. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary point to the mass of the car is unacceptable, as static and dynamic potentials on the line GND will be unpredictable, which can lead to unstable {{{model|FMB96X}}} operation and even its failure.</b>
