Installation Steps

Follow these steps to connect and mount the dash cam on your vehicle's windshield.

NOTE: For additional information, see the GO devices installation guide.

  1. Make sure that you documented both the AI-14 IMEI number and the Geotab G09 device serial number.

  2. Connect the dash cam to the GO9 device.

  3. Set the road-facing and in-cabin viewing angles.

  4. Mount the AI-14 dash cam to your windshield ADAS.

  5. Perform the calibration from the dash cam.

AI-14 dash cam and Geotab GO9 components

The installation uses a specialized cable to plug the Lytx AI-14 dash cam directly into the Geotab GO9 device, supplying power to the camera and enabling it to share video data with the telematics system.

NOTE: For all 24V vehicles and select 12V vehicles, the HRN-CG13S1-A adapter is required to eliminate the risk of damage to the GO9 device. See the Adapters section for additional information.

Here is a list of Lytx and Geotab components:

Lytx components:

  • An AI-14 Dash cam

Connect the AI-14 to the Geotab GO9 device:

Take these steps to connect the AI-14 to the Geotab GO9 device:

NOTE: To ensure that you receive accurate data from the Geotab GO9 device, secure it properly so that it does not move while the vehicle is in motion. Do not mount the device directly on a metal surface, as this can cause interference. If you need to mount it near a metal component, make sure the serial number is facing away from the metal.

  1. Locate the On-Board Diagnostic port. The OBDII port is usually found in the driver area, at or below knee level.

    NOTE: Some vehicle manufacturers now require an open OBD port. This can be achieved by using a T-Harness.

  2. Remove the vehicle port.

  3. Choose the correct adapter for your application, and slide over the short harness.

  4. Lock the adapter into the locking tabs.

  6. Connect the GO9 device to the harness and secure it with the provided cable tie.

    IMPORTANT: For vehicles that require Ethernet bypass (pins 3 and 11), disconnect the 2-pin Molex connectors attached to the 16-pin T-harness (HRN-BM16T22).

  7. Remove the vehicle diagnostics connector and install the completed set up.

  8. Connect the male OBDII harness connector to the vehicles OBDII connector that was removed above.

  9. Connect the AI-14 IOX cable to the GO9 device, then secure the cable with a zip tie using the IOX cable zip tie channel. This connection powers the AI-14 device. If it does not power on within 15 seconds, start the vehicle if possible. Mount the GO9 device to the vehicle with zip ties to prevent movement or shifting after installation. Do not mount the GO9 device to metal. If mounting to metal is unavoidable, ensure the serial number faces away from the metal component.

  10. Temporarily connect the female Molex plug on the AI-14 IOX cable to the male Molex plug on the AI-14 dashcam, without routing the cable behind panels to enable correct positioning of the dash cam.

  11. Start your vehicle.

  12. Make sure the AI-14 is in the correct spot on the windshield. See SET THE AI-14 DASH CAM VIEWING ANGLES

  13. Run the power cable from the vehicle’s fuse board up the A-pillar and along the headliner to the dash cam mount. Make sure the connected Molex plug is accessible for future maintenance.

  14. Make sure to run the wires away from any sharp edges or moving parts. Do not route them where they could get pinched, such as in a door jamb.

  15. You must determine if your vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which includes airbags. During installation, route all wiring to avoid interfering with airbags and other vehicle functions.

  16. Route the power cable carefully to avoid any SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) components like airbags. Secure the cable with ties approximately every 12 inches (30 cm), making sure the wiring does not interfere with the SRS.

    NOTE: Before installing, check the vehicle manufacturer's resources to locate airbag sensors and system components. Ensure that the installation and wiring do not affect the airbags or their deployment.

    CAUTION: Some countries/regions/jurisdictions have adopted, or may in the future adopt, laws that prohibit objects from being mounted on a vehicle’s windshield or other locations in a vehicle. Always refer to any applicable laws that concern mounting devices on vehicle windshields before choosing a mounting location. You are responsible for complying with such laws, as Lytx, Inc. does not accept responsibility for your failure to do so.

  17. Finish the installation and test it.

    Validate the Left-Hand Driver (LHD) or Right-Hand Driver (RHD) position from the drop-down menu..

    NOTE: Configure the virtual ignition in the AI-14 dash cam. Virtual ignition offers two approaches to activating the AI-14 dash cam:

    Movement: When the virtual ignition feature is enabled, the dash cam is activated when it detects movement.

    virtual_ignition_new_oct.png

    Ignition: When virtual ignition is turned off, the dash cam relies solely on true ignition for activation. This means the AI-14 dash cam will only turn on when the ignition key is turned, overriding the movement-based activation.

  18. After completing the installation, confirm that the vehicle is operating normally and that no unintended changes have occurred.

    NOTE: You may need to route the cable behind the window and door trim, which is held in place by snap-fit clips. In vehicles with side or curtain airbags, these clips are often single-use and will need to be replaced. Always check your vehicle's service manual for the proper removal and replacement steps.

Validate and verify the Geotab GO9 Device

Take the following steps to validate and verify the Geotab GO9 Device

LED Behaviors

The GO9 Device has three LEDs to indicate the status of the device:

  • The RED LED indicates that the device has detected ignition and has powered ON.

  • The GREEN LED indicates that the device has connected to a cellular network..

  • The BLUE LED indicates that the device has latched onto a GPS signal.

Device Beeping

Once you install the device and turn on the ignition for the first time, it will enter a Troubleshooting Beeping mode for the first two trips. The different beeps will help you confirm a successful installation:

  • Six short beeps to indicate power detection

  • One short beep when a change in ignition state is detected.

  • Two short beeps when searching for cellular connection (occurs periodically).

  • Three short beeps when cellular connection is established.

  • A long beep indicates the GPS is connected.
