Thanks for answer - and for person who asked question.We wondered what that wire was for also. It's not listed anywhere in the instruction manual.

That one stumped me too. Nothing in the instructions, although they do mention 12 VDC for that wire somewhere in a diagram. The instructions were horrible, and the thing never powered on. I returned it and got a refund. My suggestion is you do the same.

Here is a link to a video description of how I have mine wired and set up. I figured I can take a few minutes out of my day to help you out with this. Hope it helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFQOC2s84Wk

the unit is hardwired. you should know what you are doing or hire an electrician. you can connect a power cord and connect it to a plug, I would always recommend using a three wire setup that includes a ground.

I just used the wires supplied from the unit itself. Simple 3 wire connection. There are no additional connections or additional wire needed. Simple instructions will show you where to connect them. Should you have any issues, please let me know. You will be very happy with this unit. I am. Ron, Mesa, AZPS remember to shut off A/C unit breaker before attempting to install.

You can hardwire but you must use the transformer in between. I just plugged mine into an outlet that I have a wireless remote for so I could turn it on and off without plugging and unplugging.

It should have a seperate sheet from the instruction manual to show how to wire it up. If not call the number to them and have them e-mail you that sheet. If no success can email me at tazmandevil14@gmail.com (subject: Insruction sheet) and I will email it to you.

You either need to hardwire it or get a pigtail to plug it in. I suggest hardwiring it.

I'm sorry, David. It's been a while, and I don't have my model info in front of me. I can tell you, that for me, it was like a 5min installation. Just label all the wires and where they are supposed to go! It saved me more than $200, buying the part and installing myself. Best of luck.

This unit is sent for hard wire only. They work great. You might want to put a plug pigtail on it for plug in to a wall outlet.

I installed this unit in a travel trailer but it has been a few years and we have since sold the trailer. I think I hard wired the unit but can't recall exactly.

The only hard wiring required is for power ( which is delivered through a POE on the Cat5 cable). The unit needs to be configured as a repeater first, though. It can be confiured through the wireless, but save yourself time (and hassle) by connecting directly to the unit and configuring it before installation.

My suggestion to you is to do what we did - take your vehicle and have someone put a remote on it and throW that piece of junk away. We attempted to put it on our car and had the same problem. The directions are made that nO human can understand them. We even took the directions to see what we were missing to a friend that knowS a lot about wiring and vehicles, and he could not tell head nor tails of it. We had one installed one ours for right at a $100.00 and it works great. THROW IT AWAY !!!

It's stupid.. Was there a resistor in your original unit (there was in mine). If so, you have to solder it in series with the wire that goes from one side of the unit to the other. Just look at the wiring diagram. Since I can't open mine and don't have the instructions, you just have to follow the diagram. Sorry I can't help more.

Mine was hard wired however, I don't know if an electrician could/would configure a plug-in wire to that unit.
