How to install RebelBot?

It's quick and easy! In the RebelBot box you find the installation instructions:

1. Turn off the car engine and locate the battery (usually in the engine hood, but in the Smart and in some other cases under the passenger seat) 
2. Clean the battery with a dry cloth in the area where you will be installing RebelBot 
3. Remove the sticker on the back of the telematic device
4. Place the device on the battery, taking care to position properly the symbol indicating the direction of travel
5. Carefully loosen the nuts on the positive and negative poles of the batter
6. Insert the special cables and tighten the nuts: first connect the end of the black cable of the device to the negative pole of the battery. Then connect the end of the red cable to the positive pole of the battery
7. If your policy is already effective, wait a few minutes and you’ll receive a SMS confirming the correct installation of your device. If, on the other hand, you installed before the effective date, you will receive the SMS only once the policy has effect. Moreover, if the device is correctly installed, you will see a green light on you RebelBot.

• What if I have a hybrid car?
  On hybrid cars the RebelBot must be installed on the primary service battery (12v). If you don't know where it is located on your vehicle, we suggest that you look in the car's use and maintenance manual.
   
• What if I have a Tesla?
  On Teslas the RebelBot must be installed near or on the primary service battery but, for MODEL X PLAID (>2023) and MODEL 3 (>2022) we recommend that you carry out a professional installation, in order to be sure that the assembly is successful.
   
• What if I have a Smart?
  You find the battery in the cockpit, under the passenger mat. The procedure to follow is the same described, remember that once finished you have to reposition the passenger mat!
  
  
  
  Important: If the RebelBot does not record mileage, start the engine and drive for a short distance to allow the device to function properly.
