Car Connector (ADC-CC100) - Installation Guide
Installation precautions
• Use an Alarm.com Authorized Service Provider to install or remove the Car Connector. If you choose not to use an
Alarm.com Authorized Service Provider to install or remove the Car Connector, please carefully follow these
instructions.
• Choose a safe location before installing, removing, or reconnecting the Car Connector.
• The Car Connector should never be plugged into or unplugged from the vehicle's OBD-II port while the vehicle's
ignition is on or in ACC/ACCESSORY mode, as this may cause issues such as dashboard lights to come on, but
that should not affect the operation of the vehicle itself. Verify that the ignition is completely off before plugging in or
unplugging the Car Connector. Should dashboard lights come on, they can usually be cleared by turning off the
ignition and unplugging the Car Connector.
• When the Car Connector is plugged in, verify it is installed securely and cannot easily be removed or come loose. If
necessary, make use of cable ties to ensure a secure connection.
• Do not install the Car Connector in a manner that could obstruct the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle. If
necessary, make use of an OBD-II extender cable to re-locate the position of the Car Connector.
• The Car Connector cannot share the Vehicle Bus (its internal communication network) with other devices that are
also connected to the Vehicle Bus. Do not use the Car Connector in vehicles with devices such as wheelchair lifts
or Mercedes me that also communicate on the Vehicle Bus, or with a Y-cable to connect multiple devices to the
OBD-II port at the same time. For any questions on whether a device in the vehicle is connected to the Vehicle
Bus, contact your Alarm.com Authorized Service Provider.
• The Car Connector uses a small amount of power from the vehicle battery while the ignition is off. If the vehicle's
ignition will be off for more than a week, it is recommended to unplug the Car Connector to prevent the possibility of
draining the vehicle's battery.
