Remove the two lower screws on the 7. Position the Telematics module with the flat side of the module facing towards the door and reinstall the two screws on the display to secure / mount the module in place. See Figure 3 8. Note the ground screw location and wire orientation. See Figure 4a. The module may need to be pushed up when tightening it down to clear the ground screw 9. Apply electrical contact dielectric grease to the micro-USB connector on the ML3 and the micro-USB plug. See figure 5b. 10. Plug the micro-USB (item 1) to the ML3 controller connector and secure with the STA-Strap (item 3) to the USB guard and pull tie wrap to secure USB cable. See Figure 5c and 5d. 11. Locate the existing software tag and remove it from the unit. See figure 5d. 12. Take the clear plastic tag (item 7) and apply new label (item 6). See figure 5d. 13. Secure tag to the USB cable near the controller using wire tie. See figure 5d. 14. The power cable splits into QC and TRX2. Connect the wire marked QC to the QC connector on ML3 controller. See Figure 5e. 15. Loosen the mounting screws of the filter in front of the transformer using a flathead screwdriver so it can be rotated out of the way. See fig. 6a and 6b. 16. Connect the wire marked TRX2 to the low voltage side of transformer at an open X2 connector. See Figure 6c. 17. Move the filter back to its original place and secure it with the mounting screw. 18.
