Step-by-step Installation
1. Before starting the installation, use your 10mm socket to remove the terminal and disconnect both batteries.
This is important because you’ll be working near an airbag and you don’t want it to go off.
2. Pull off about three feet of the weather stripping from just below the dashboard to the top of the A-pillar.
The weather seal is held in with pressure, and will pop right out with your finger tips.
3. Pry the side dashboard cover open to gain access to run cables through.
Beware: If you use a screwdriver, it could leave a mark on the soft plastic. A plastic pry tool and/or rag is recommended.
4. With a plastic pry tool, pop the covers that cover the handle bolt.
Beware: If you use a screwdriver, it could leave a mark on the soft plastic. A plastic pry tool and/or rag is recommended.

5. Use a 10mm socket to remove bolt.
Do the same with the lower bolt
6. With a firm tug, remove the pillar from the vehicle.
It is being held in by this plastic tab. One firm yank should free it.
Cable Access Hole Prep & Drilling
6. Bring the pillar to a work bench with a non-slip surface.
7. Test fit your Stealth Pod to see where you should drill your cable access hole
With a marker, place a dot in the center of the cable access hole onto the pillar.
Use your Stealth Pod as a guide & mark a dot as the center for the cable access hole on the A-Pillar.
10. Place the bit in your drill and wrap a piece of painter’s tape around it so you don’t plunge deeper than the 18mm mark.
11. Start drilling 90° perpendicular to the spot you marked.
12. Continue until you reach the 16 or 18mm step.
9. You will need to drill to the 16mm step for a single iDash cable, or to 18mm if you have a PedalMonster.
Check that your cable(s) pass through the hole before returning to the truck.
Stealth Pod Installation
10. Back at the truck, fish your OBD-II cable up through the side of the dashboard.
11. Continue until you have enough slack to drape the cables over your dashboard for now.
12. Run the cables through the cable access hole you drilled.
And loosely re attach your pillar for now.
13. Run your cables through your Stealth Pod, and attach it with the supplied bolt and Alan Key.

Connect your 4-Pin OBD-II connection. And if you have a PedalMonster, your 6 Pin as well.
