Section 4: Installation
These installation instructions are split into five Easy Steps. Follow the steps for the easiest installation of this product.
Step 1: Connect the OBD ll Adapter to the vehicle obd ll port

This step involves locating the vehicles OBD ll port and then simply plugging the OBD ll Adapter
Plug into the OBD ll port.
1. As the illustration below shows, OBD ll ports are always located somewhere under the drivers
side dash. The OBD ll port is a male receiver that will have the same shape as the end of the
OBD ll Adaptor plug.
2. Once the OBD ll port is located, then simply plug the OBD ll Adaptor plug into the OBD ll port.

Identify the correct Fuse:
1. Locate the vehicle fuse box; the vehicle owners manual will indicate where the fuse box is located
within the vehicle.
2. Open the fuse box and identify a fuse that has key on power. To identify the correct fuse, find an
accessory fuse using the fuse diagram in the vehicle owners manual. If the vehicle manual does not
help identify an accessory fuse use a voltage meter to identify a fuse that supplies power only when
the key is in the on position.
Connect the Power Wire from the OBD II block to the correct vehicle fuse:
1. Connect the power wire to the power wire port on the OBD ll Adaptor plug.
2. Run the raw end of the power wire to the vehicle fuse box, in many cases this will mean taking the
power wire through the vehicle fire wall. On most vehicles the power wire can run through an existing port, it is not necessary to drill.
3. Remove the correct fuse from the fuse box and plug the fuse back into its original location along
with the power wire. For a the cleanest install see our clean install instructions on the next page.
17
INSTALLATION
For a clean install into the fuse locations:
There are multiple different fuse types in OEM vehicles. For a clean install, use a fuse tap and
spade connector that will work with the specific fuse being used for this install.
1. Once the end of the power wire is near the fuse box, prepare the end of the power wire by attaching
a spade connector to the end of the wire.
2. Remove the correct fuse from its location and then replace that fuse with a fuse tap that is made
for that size of fuse.
3. Connect the spade connect to the end of the fuse tap.
4. Use zip ties to secure any loose wire left hanging from excess slack in the power wire.
18
INSTALLATION
Step 3: Run GT Main wire harness
In this section you will connect the GT Main Harness to the OBD ll Adaptor plug and then run the
other end of the main harness up the side of the vehicle dash and connect it to the back of the GT.
1. Plug one end of the Main Harness into the Main Harness port on the OBD ll adapter plug.
2. Run the other end of the harness up through the vehicle dash on the drivers side so that the end of the
harness emerges from the dash near the vehicle A-pillar. It may be necessary to temporarily remove
the vehicle weather stripping and dash panel to achieve an installation where the Main Harness cannot be seen.
3. Plug the Main Harness into the back side of the GT, make sure that there is enough slack in the main
harness to accommodate mounting the GT to the windshield.
19
INSTALLATION
Section 5: Mounting the GT using the Windshield mount
The final step to installation is mounting the GT to the windshield using the universal windshield mount.
1. Locate the T-shaped mount socket on the back
side of the GT.
2. Notice that the top of the universal mount will fit
into T-shaped socket and slide forward to secure
the GT to the mount.
3. With the GT connected to the mount use the
windshield mount to secure the GT to the windshield. Be sure that the position of the GT does
not obstruct the view of the road or distract the
driver from their primary responsibility, which is
driving responsible.

hours are: Monday-Friday 8am-5pm Mountain Standard Time)
3. Do not install while the vehicle is in a remote location or when the vehicle is immediately needed
for transportation. In the unlikely event that installation of the download fails, the installer may
need resources such as computer access and internet access to complete installation.
4. Allow up to one hour for installation. The GT easily installs in under 30 minutes. However, allocate
at least an hour for installation in case any problems are encountered during installation.
5. Before installation, always make sure that the batteries have a full charge. It is even a good idea to
have a battery charger nearby in case the batteries start draining. If the batteries loose their charge
during a download, the download will fail.
6. Before installation, turn off all electronics inside the vehicle including: headlights, heater, air conditioning, stereo, any DVD players, etc. Failing to turn off all electronics may can prevent a successful
download.
7. During installation it is very important that the GT is not disrupted. If the download is disrupted
the vehicle may not start and the download process must be restarted. In worst case scenarios the
Power Pup will have to perform a recovery process which adds even more time to the installation
process.
The information above is extremely important to successful use of the Download
IMPORTANT
It is not recommended that this product be used in conjunction with any other electronic module or
tuner that is intended to increase horsepower.
Performance products must always be removed before taking the vehicle in for any kind of service. The

Section 5: Formatting SD card
The SD card should only be taken out of the GT to perform internet upgrades. It is the primary
means of performing internet upgrades for the GT.
In case an SD Card is lost or broken, a new SD Card can be purchased and used to update
the GT. However, the new card will need to be formatted to work with our internet update
software, The Update Agent. The reason a new SD card needs to be formatted is so that the
Update Agent will automatically recognize that SD Card when the SD card is plugged into a
PC. Below are steps and diagrams showing how to format a new SD Card:
1. Plug the SD Card into a PC via the USB to SD Card Reader.
2. Open the My Computer function in Microsoft windows to see all of the devices and drives on that PC. Find
the new SD Card in the list under the heading, Devices with removable storage.
3. Right click on the SD Card to show a drop down menu of options. In the drop down menu click on Format.
82
APPENDIX
4. With the formatting dialog box open click the drop down men for File System. Highlight and
click on FAT.
5. Then change the Volume Label to read Bully Dog, by typing it into the dialog box below that
title.
6 Click Start to reformat the card with the new information.
7. After the reformat process is complete you need to visit our web site to download a file that must
be saved to the SD card. Visit http://www.bullydogupdateagent.info/GTidf.bin and save the file
to the SD card. This file allows the Update Agent to identify the SD card as a GT SD card.
8. Now unplug the card reader and plug it back into the PC and the Update Agent should recognize
this SD Card.
Now whenever this card is plugged into any PC that has the Bully Dog Update Agent
installed the Agent will automatically recognize the SD Card.
