Paso 04· Hecho
Clear the clips off the molded tab
Remove the remaining clips from the molded plastic tab.
Paso 05· Hecho
Corta la pestaña por la mitad
Cut the molded tab in half and remove the half closest to the center console. Make a few relief cuts with side cutters first, then trim it clean with a razor knife. This is where the ignition driver mounts.

Wire it
The adaptor harness does the work; the routing keeps it tidy.
Step 10· Hecho
Conecta el arnés adaptador
Plug the wiring harness adaptor into the Emtron ECU, then connect the ignition driver and the relay.
Step 11· Hecho
Ruta el arnés en una S
Lay the harness in an “S” shape and secure it to the plastics with the wire-loom mounts.
Step 12· Hecho
Tuck the extra factory harness
Push the excess stock harness back into the small opening it comes through on the center console.
Paso 13· Hecho
Connect the adaptor to the factory harness
Plug the adaptor into the factory wiring harness. Place the two large connectors in the open space, stacked one on top of the other.
Step 14· Hecho
Drill for the zip ties
Drill three holes: one below the connectors, one between them and one on top. They anchor the zip ties.
Step 15· Hecho
Zip-tie the connectors down
Use the supplied zip ties through those holes to hold both large connectors down. Your install should look like this.
Step 16· Hecho
Set up Smart-Lok and the dash
Last, set the data pack so the Can-Am Smart-Lok and the gauges, including the tach, keep working. The 45-second video and the menu path are below.
Smart-Lok and dash
Pick the right data pack.
The Emtron has to talk to the X3’s own electronics over CAN so the Smart-Lok and the gauges keep working. It’s set in Emtune, Emtron’s software.
Capítulos
- Configure
In Emtune, open Configure, then Communications.
- OEM CAN device
Go down to OEM CAN Device and choose Can-Am X3.
- Año del modelo
Select your model year by entering the number that goes with it.
- Data pack
Cycle through the data pack options for your machine, trying each one, until the Smart-Lok and the RPM gauge work.
Preguntas
Questions installers ask.
Where does the Emtron ECU go?
In the stock location under the driver’s seat, held on with double-sided Velcro. The ignition driver and relay mount right beside it.
Do I have to cut anything?
One thing: half of a molded plastic tab, to make room for the ignition driver. You also drill two holes for the ignition driver, one for the relay and three for the zip ties.
My Smart-Lok or tach stopped working after the install. Why?
The data pack isn’t set for your machine yet. In Emtune, go to Configure › Communications › OEM CAN Device › Can-Am X3, pick your model year and cycle the data packs until both work.
What software do I need?
Emtron’s Emtune, on a Windows laptop, connected to the ECU with the Ethernet tuning cable.
Can I go back to the stock ECU?
Yes. Keep it. Everything here reverses except the cut tab and the drilled holes.
