To install the Motive Cable 3030 Vehicle Gateway in your Volvo Truck, please follow the steps provided in the installation guide:
Step 1: Ensure the vehicle is safe to install the Motive Vehicle Gateway by engaging the parking brake, turning off the engine, and turning off the main power switch (if available).
Step 2: Remove the access panel located on the top center of the dashboard on the right side of the steering wheel. Some vehicles may require a screwdriver.
Step 3: Detach the terminating resistor from the J1939 bus connector, which can be found by following the pair of twisted green and yellow wires in the access panel. Do not discard this resistor.
Step 4: Attach the male end of the Motive cable to the female end of the truck’s J1939 bus connector (where the terminating resistor was previously attached). Then, attach the terminating resistor to the female end of the Motive cable to close the circuit. Find an available power outlet in the fuse area of the access panel and plug the power connector from the Motive cable into it. Make sure the red wire goes to power and the black wire goes to ground. Secure all the cables using the provided zip ties.
Step 5: Take the 15-pin connector end of the Motive cable and place it on top of the dashboard. Reattach the access panel. If needed, modify the panels to run the cable to the top of the dashboard. Alternatively, mount the vehicle gateway inside the panel, ensuring the cable is not pinched.
Step 6: Attach the 15-pin connector to the Vehicle Gateway and mount the Vehicle Gateway to the top of the dashboard. Secure the 15-pin connector using the thumbscrews. Clean the mounting area with the provided alcohol swabs. Remove the backing from the adhesive strip on the back of the Vehicle Gateway and attach it to the mounting area. Ensure the Vehicle Gateway is mounted near the windshield, away from vents, electrical components, and at least 12 inches away from any metal components.
Step 7: Once plugged in, the indicator lights on the Vehicle Gateway will flash momentarily before turning solid red. After approximately one minute, the left-side indicator light will turn green, indicating a successful GPS/GNSS connection. Note that GPS/GNSS performance may degrade if the Vehicle Gateway does not have a clear line of sight to the sky.
Step 8: Once the driver connects to the Vehicle Gateway using the Motive Driver App available on iOS and Android, the right-side indicator light will turn green, indicating a successful Bluetooth connection.
For more details on using the Motive Driver App, please refer to the Motive Driver App Guide. If you need further assistance, you can contact Motive support at 855-434-3564 or email support@gomotive.com.
