Introduction

Installation the the MOTO-PLATE interface and motorized plate frame consists the following steps:

  • CAN connections. MOTO-PLATE interface harness will either include a CAN plug meant to be plugged into specified CAN distribution block or CAN high and CAN low wires to be tapped and soldered onto specified CAN high/low wires.
  • Mounting motorized license plate bracket. For mounting instructions, refer to Show N Go installation instructions provided with plate frame. Note: Show N Go motor wires connection with MOTO-PLATE interface is different because the motor wires connect to the MCE MOTO-PLATE interface. Show N Go installation instructions will show installation of receiver, please note that the MOTO-PLATE interface is replacing the receiver and remote.
  • Output wires (white and brown) from MOTO-PLATE interface connect to motor wires.
  • Constant power and chassis ground for MOTO-PLATE interface.
