Hi everyone, I’m currently putting in my wiring harness and I was just wondering how/where people are getting their 12v power from? I’m in a JD 6430 premium if that makes any difference.
Thank you

Took mine straight off the battery in one tractor and just off a D plug in the other

Think I’m gonna use the D plug, thank you!

Round the back of the d plug or fag lighter socket. Slightly tidier and leaves them free.
The D socket has blade connector supplying it, just fit a piggyback crimp connector like this:
The D plug will be fused on the tractor at 25 amps, so will need to fit a fuse to protect the cable and rest of installation. An electric motor steering system should use no more than 10 amps.
The top small pin on the D plug is fused at 5 amps and switched by tractor ignition, so use the live bottom pin. this is permanently live and not switched by ignition, so ensure as well a fuse you have an isolation switch for safety and to prevent flat tractor battery. You could use the small switched pin on the D plug to power a relay to isolate the supply when tractor ignition is off.
Got sent this today, one of my mates CVX230 I did for him...
One of these days, I'll remember to do a video POST-TUNING and FINISHED INSTALLATION...
That little thing is a jumper if you have a hydraulic steering valve you need that to select the type of sensor you have. If using an electric motor you don't need it!@Andy26 - cheers, arrived today, nicely packaged and looks the partwhat’s the tiny part taped to the box ? View attachment 1170290View attachment 1170291
assume the back box needs connecting to the toughbook somehow now ?
You need an Ethernet cable, plug the two together, will need to change the IP address of the tablet.
Then from then on will just work.
When you load AgIO up this is what you are aiming for:

Hello, I‘ve managed to get all the hardware on the tractor perfectly and i managed to do the setup wizard but upon testing in the field the tractor seems to be all over the place. I‘ve had a fiddle with the steer setting and it’s calmed it down a little bit but I’m wondering if anyone would be able to give me some good setting or guide me on what I need to change on mine?
Thank you
Thank you

Okay thank you, I think I’ve managed to find it, also found a useful thread on the AOG forum.

So long as you set a manual address in the tablet's settings, agio can then change it to suit the steering board. Last one I setup a new tablet, I just copied the numbers from the video andyinv posted a couple of pages back in this thread. Agio then changed the tablet's address to suit my steering board.

After connecting to your phone's hotspot. Go to the Windows connection settings and there is an option to set the connection as metered. This should help prevent everything else on the tablet using up your phones data.
Just connect the tablet to the house wifi occasionally so it can do updates. Windows can still force download updates on a metered connection if it deems them essential.
Obviously less of an issue when you lots of data to spare. Last harvest I hadn't and it turned out that the windows operating system on the tablet had consumed 2gb that month and I only have 4gb to start with.

That's way out of date.

This guide is for version 6 (current version, I only made it 3 weeks ago).
We're moving the help to short video snippets to teach that way, I'm using a computer-generated voice for the narration and then youtube can translate subtitles to multiple languages. So far it seems to be working OK.
The playlist - which we'll add to - is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1N2N2XFHWW1fIDhb7koOa7hxH0LGppYc
