I'm getting confused on how to connect them (not where) but how physically.

thanks.

Oh good, it will be nice to see some pictures on here because I am installing mine soon!!

The wires that you need to tap into, just slide the insulation (without cutting the wire), wrap the SMT6 wire on to the stock wire, solder the 2 wires, wrap..

You will do most of the cutting about 10 inches away from the DME connector..

If you want to take the easy route, get connectors from radio shack. You can just tap the wires without soldering...

For some reason, I'm unable to upload pictures here... I will take few pictures from an actual install and post on Monday.

I am more interested in how people mount the unit that looks good and solid. That is pretty much it, I have lots of wiring before, so that doesn't bother me at all. Just more of the mounting of everything.

I think I get it now.

I was trying to figure out how to shrink wrap them but I guess I won't.

I'll probabley just wrap them in electrical tape

Mike1982

Be sure to soder the connections then use tape on them to insure that they don't touch ANYTHING from other wires to the frame of the car. I am going to do that then use zip ties to keep everything together as well.

There is only 1 DME wire that you cut. When you connect both sides of teh cut to the SMT6 wires you will be able shrink wrap the connection. 2 shring wraps total...

I just velcro the SMT6 in the glovebox, may not be the best but all cables are out of the way when not in use.

I hate wires. I left the SMT-6 down with the dme and klr, and only brought the serial wire up into the glovebox. There is still more than enough cord to reach the laptop.

That is a good idea to keep in the glove box like that. I don't think it will work for me because I will need to keep that full of money so when a cop pulls me over I buy my way out of a speeding ticket!!

i used to keep mine in the glovebox too, but after a couple of weeks of my wife leaving **** on it i relocated down to the footwell. there is a ton of space down there, i fit my smt6, zt2 and injector resistor pack down there with no problems.

Shaheed, I've got a perfect fix for your glove box issue. Stay single!

I stuffed the SMT down with the KLR/DME. As previously posted, the serial cable is long enough to reach a laptop in the pass. seat.

everything is all tied up.

except for 2 wires.

where does the 02 signal wire go?
It's brown/black.
I have a wideband if that makes a difference

also, where does the mapping switch wire go?
it's grey.
I only ground it when I want to switch maps so I don't connect it to anything right?
