Connect and configure
Work must be carried out with the battery disconnected, the wires should be laid away from high-voltage cables and hot engine components. Also isolate the wiring from the machine body.
BC "Orion" is connected to the diagnostic block, as well as to the breaks to the fuel and speed sensors, or the ignition circuit. Electronic equipment is easy to install in place of clocks. At the bottom of the socket is a 9-pin MK connector (female). You need to insert the wiring harness from the computer (dad) into it.
If there is no 9-pin connector, then you need to connect with single BC wires:
- white is the K-line;
- black goes to ground (car body);
- blue - for ignition;
- pink is connected to the fuel level sensor.
The diagnostic block in different brands of cars is located behind the center console, to the right of the steering column or near the ignition switch.

Self-configuration requires patience and skills. For example, if you want to tune the Orion to the readings of the fuel level sensor, then you must sequentially fill the tank with a certain amount of fuel and enter the data into the memory of the BC. The process is time-consuming, so it is easier to entrust it to specialists.
Management
There are 5 buttons for intuitive control of the on-board vehicle:
