Installation Manual

    1. To install the XBB system, you need the XBB Configurator app, which you can find on Google Play or App Store.
    2. Start the app and create an account.
    3. Then verify the account with the code sent to your email. (If you don't receive an email, check your spam folder).

    1. The XBB Dongle® is installed in the car's diagnostic port, also known as the OBD2 connector. The port is usually located in the driver’s footwell. Sometimes it may be hidden behind a panel that needs to be opened or removed to install the XBB Dongle®.

    2. Example of an OBD2 connector.

    3. Make sure to firmly press your XBB Dongle® into the socket.
    4. If you are using a Y-splitter or extension cable, ensure that the XBB Dongle® is securely installed and not hanging from the wiring. This is important for the built-in accelerometer to function correctly and detect the car's movements.
    5. The XBB Dongle® must be installed in the diagnostic port for the auxiliary light installation to work.

    1. Start the app and click on 'Search for XBB device.
    2. Select the XBB Dongle® that appears to continue the installation.
    3. Follow the instructions for firmware update if recommended.
    4. If you are unable to reconnect to your XBB Dongle® after the update, try removing it from the car's OBD2 port and reinserting it.
    5. Note! The XBB Dongle® is only visible to the phone for 10 minutes after it receives power. If you need to reconnect, you must remove and reinsert it into the diagnostic port. To avoid doing this, you can pair the phone via the app: Main Menu → My Devices → Save Device to My List → Pair with Device."

    1. A recipe is a unique software developed for a specific car model and its equipment package, which can include model year, headlight model, facelift, transmission, software, and similar factors.
    2. If your XBB Dongle® is brand new, it will come pre-installed with a Q.C. recipe (Quality Control). This recipe is intended only for our internal quality tests conducted during production
    3. Start by clicking on settings and then 'Delete recipe.'
    5. Then click on 'Change recipe.' You can change the recipe an unlimited number of times.
    6. Select a recipe based on your car model. There are usually several to choose from, so start with the one that best matches your car, such as model year, headlights, and other relevant specifications.

    1. or example, when you activate the high beams, 'HIGHBEAM' should change status to 'ON' and be marked in green. The same applies to other signals.
    2. If you need to try another recipe, click on 'Settings' and select 'Delete recipe.' Then choose 'Change recipe,' find a new recipe, and test the functions again.
    3. Note Important! Complete the installation of the XBB Dongle® by turning off the car and locking/arming it. Then check in the app that the 'SYSTEM_ACTIVE' signal is displayed. If the signal is present, it is important to ensure that, after locking/arming the car, it counts down to 0 and turns red.
    4. Note! Do not remain in the car while performing this test. If the signal DOESN'T turn red, the recipe likely does not match your car, and there is a risk that the car's battery could drain. In that case, try another recipe.

  1. Have you found a working recipe for your car? If not, go back to Step 1 and try again.
  2. Mount your lighting and route the wiring to the location where you plan to install your XBB PowerUnit®.
  3. Note! Have you purchased a pre-made relay harness?
    In that case, it is especially important to check that all wires in the relay socket are correctly connected in relation to your XBB PowerUnit®. Unfortunately, many 'China' harnesses are miswired and need to be corrected before connecting the XBB PowerUnit®. The common issue is that the ground connection/negative is placed incorrectly.
  4. Remember to place your XBB PowerUnit® in an upright position and as protected as possible from heat and moisture.
  5. Note! If your lighting draws more than 15 Amps (180W), it cannot be connected directly to your XBB PowerUnit®. In that case, you will need to connect the lighting to a power relay, which is controlled by your XBB PowerUnit®.
  6. Wiring diagrams with different connections are available on our website. Link
  7. ALWAYS use a fuse and place it as close to the power source or battery as possible.
  8. Make sure to use the correct wire gauge to avoid using cables that are too undersized. Cables that are too thin can, in the worst case, result in a cable fire.
  9. Keep in mind that a standard cable terminal is designed to handle between 15 and 24 Amps, depending on the brand and wire gauge.
  10. We recommend using Standard Power Timer terminals in relay sockets and fuse holders.

Uninsulated cable terminal (Up to 24A)

Insulated cable terminal (Up to 24A)

Standard Power Timer (Up to 40A)

  1. You can install and connect up to 4 XBB PowerUnits® to one XBB Dongle®, or 3 XBB PowerUnits® and 1 XBB Smart Button.
  2. The XBB PowerUnit® can handle a maximum of 15 Amps (180W). If the lighting draws more than this, you must connect it via a power relay. Then let your XBB PowerUnit® control the relay coil.
  3. OBS! Har du köpt ett färdigt reläkablage?
    Då är det extra viktigt att kontrollera att alla kablar i reläsockeln är rätt kopplade i förhållande till din XBB PowerUnit®. Tyvärr är många “Kina”-kablage felkopplade och måste därför korrigeras innan XBB PowerUnit® ansluts. Vanligtvis sitter jordanslutningen/minus på fel plats.
  4. The XBB PowerUnit® should be mounted upright with the connectors facing downward and protected as much as possible from heat and moisture.
  5. Preferably mount the XBB PowerUnit® near the firewall to minimize the distance to the XBB Dongle®.

  1. For your lighting to work, your installed XBB PowerUnit® must be added to the app, and you also need to decide which functions you want it to perform.
  2. Open the XBB Configurator® app to begin the setup.
  3. If you haven’t paired your phone with your XBB Dongle® (Step 4:5), and more than 10 minutes have passed since you were last connected, you will need to remove it from the diagnostic port and reinsert it for the phone and app to connect.
  4. Go to the 'XBB PowerUnit®' tab, click on the plus sign, and select 'Add XBB PowerUnit®'.
  5. Select the XBB PowerUnit® that appears and then click on 'Settings' (the gear icon).
    – If no device appears despite several attempts, it is likely that your XBB PowerUnit® is miswired. Check the wiring, fuse, and connections.
  6. When you are in the settings for the XBB PowerUnit®, there are two outputs where you need to select their function.
  7. With the 'Force On' function, you can test if your lighting is correctly connected. You can do this without selecting a recipe. If everything is properly connected, the lights should turn on when you activate 'Force On.
  8. You can also use the 'Force On' function to check that you have connected the correct lighting to the correct output.
  9. Output 1 (Out 1) can handle a MAX of 15 Amps (180W).
  10. Output 2 (Out 2) can handle a MAX of 5 Amps (60W).
  11. If you want the high beam to activate your lighting, select the 'HIGHBEAM' signal on the output where you have connected the lighting. Click 'Save' when you have made your selection.
  12. If you have purchased lighting with a built-in position light and want to use it, the 'IGNITION' signal is usually preferred, unless the 'POSITIONLIGHT' signal is available. Click 'Save' when you have made your selection.
  13. Note! Be aware that the position light in your connected lighting may be illegal to use, depending on when and in combination with other lighting on the car it is active.

  1. Some car models and recipes require us to use the built-in accelerometer in the XBB Dongle® to determine if the car is started. This means that your XBB Dongle® is in sleep mode until it detects vibrations or movements in the car. Start or drive the car when testing the functions for the best results. You can also gently tap the dongle to wake it up.
  2. Keep in mind that some functions, such as automatic high beams, may not work if it's not dark enough outside.
  3. Perform a function test of the entire installation.
  4. Note Important! Don't forget to check the 'SYSTEM_ACTIVE' signal in the app. See Step 6:3.
