  • Green · 2-STEP

NITROUS

Bare wire end — you connect it

Nitrous-on signal. Connect it to a wire that is 12 V or ground when the nitrous is on. Pick which one in the app.

  • Light Blue · NITROUS IN

AUX OUT

Bare wire end — you connect it

AUX output. It switches to ground, for example to drive a relay coil.

  • Purple · AUX OUT

Main plug pinout

Plugs into the Interrupter box. Push it in until the latch clicks.
