Yeah, I figured the ground was in the connector.
Install will be a snap – unless I can't find the correct brown HUD wire – I have hundreds of those tap-in connectors – makes things easy. I'll take some night shots later!

If I can suggest..please don't use the tap ins.
They frequently cut many strands of the wire.. if you cut too many..then all the load is based on 2-3 strands of a 30 strand wire.. 10%...
Also keep in mine that the instructions for mine said that it wanted a good dedicated power supply. It mentioned that if you had odd behavior it may be caused by a poor power connection.

Yeah, I read about the possible poor connection which can cause issues...
Hmmm, I don't have a soldering iron though. I'll figure something out if the tap-in seems to murder the wires. I can test them on a sample wire first. Or I suppose I can manually wrap the wire strands around the power supply and heat shrink it up.
There'* a brown wire for the HUD switch that seems to be a popular power spot.

Didn't Haro say that you only needed to plug it into the OBD II?

I plugged mine into the OBD2 port and it instantly turned on.

I tried mine without external power. it actually worked once, but I tied into the yellow switched 12 on the back of the radio, mounted mine in the cig lighter space.
