You need a CC100 Car Connector (aka Fleet Connector) to plug into the vehicle. If you don’t have a fleet connector, they can be ordered here.
Make sure there is room to plug the Fleet Connector into your OBD-II port and that it won’t interfere with driving or normal vehicle use. If either of these will be a problem, use an OBD-II extension cable to connect the Fleet Connector in a better position.
Do not plug the Fleet Connector into the OBD-II port yet! The Alarm.com app will tell you when to plug it in.
Park the vehicle in a safe location that has sufficient cellular signal for the Fleet Connector to communicate.
