antenna must not be exposed to temperatures of less
than -20
°
C or more than +80
°
C.
If necessary, use protective sheathing to protect the antenna
cable from being pinched.
The adherent surface of the antenna must be free of dirt, snow,
ice, etc.
You must not lengthen, shorten or put a kink in the antenna
cable. Do not remove the plug during the installation.
If the antenna is painted the same colour as the vehicle, this
may have an adverse effect on the reception, especially if paints
containing a high percentage of metal are used. We assume
no guarantee that the antenna will operate properly after it has
been painted.
On notchback vehicles, attach the antenna to the boot lid using
the mounting brackets. Depending on the thickness of the metal,
use the corresponding headless screws, Fig. 2.
On estate and hatchback cars, affix the antenna to the roof
with its magnetic foot, Fig. 3.
For a roof mount, remove the mounting brackets. Use the ad-
hesive strips enclosed to cover the screw holes, Fig. 4.
For estate and hatchback cars, lay the antenna cable along
the rain gutter downwards and into the interior of the vehicle.
Any obstacles near the antenna, such as roof racks or bicycle
carriers, may have an adverse effect on or even obstruct satel-
lite reception.
Route the antenna cable into the interior of the vehicle and
connect the plug on the antenna cable with the antenna jack
on the basic unit.
It is advisable to remove the antenna from the roof when dri-
ving through a car wash.
If the GPS antenna is mounted inside the vehicle, there is no
guarantee that the system will function correctly.
Installing the display
Safety instructions
Never grease or oil the ball-and-socket joint.
The monitor cable must be laid so that it is not subjec-
ted to any tensile strains or other loads.
Important!
Do not mount the monitor within the inflation range of
the airbags (on the driver’s side, the passenger side or
the side airbags) or where it might strike the head or
knees of anyone in the vehicle in the event of an acci-
dent!
Before drilling the holes for the mounting screws and
wiring, make sure that no damage will be done to co-
vered wiring, the petrol tank or fuel lines!
Positive-negative connection
Connect the negative cable (brown) directly with the negative
cable of the navigation computer (same ground potential).
Connect the positive cable (sw 12 V) directly with the
positive cable (sw 12 V) of the navigation computer.
Upon customer request, the lighting connection (orange) can
be connected with vehicle terminal 58d.
Terminal 58d must be regulated by pulse width modulation.
(PWM-signal clock frequency 60 ... 180 Hz, pulse-duty factor
10 % (min.) ... 100 % (max.), positive.
Amplitude - battery voltage. Please refer to the instructions
provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
Display installation
Fig. 6 The display is mounted on the dashboard or console
using the enclosed ball-and-socket base.
Fig. 7 The display is mounted directly on a console (telepho-
ne console) with the ball joint.
Fig. 8 The display is mounted using the gooseneck 7 612 001
204 and the ball joint. It is necessary to remove the back
panel of the display first.
Drill a 10-mm hole at the mounting location to accom-
modate the wiring and lay the wiring without subjecting
it to any tensile strains or other loads.
Display de-installation Fig. 9
1
Unscrew the four screws on the back of the display and
remove the rear panel.
2
Pull out the plugs carefully and push them through the moun-
ting base.
3
Then use the mounting material you require.
Installing the speaker
Install the speaker used for the spoken driving recommendati-
ons in the footwell of the vehicle.
Important!
Make sure that the vehicle operating elements remain easily
accessible and are not obstructed in any way by the connec-
tion cable and the location of the speaker (gear stick, hand
brake, accelerator, clutch or brake pedals, etc.)!
Important!
Before drilling the holes for the mounting screws, make sure
that no damage will be done to covered wiring, the petrol tank
or fuel lines!
Installing the control unit
Mount the control unit bracket in a location where the control
unit will be easily accessible, e.g. on the centre console.
Important!
Do not mount the control unit within the inflation range of the
airbags (on the driver’s side, the passenger side or the side
airbags) or where it might strike the head or knees of anyone
in the vehicle in the event of an accident!
Before drilling the holes for the mounting screws, make sure

Important instructions for
connecting the speedometer signal
Please observe the following notes when connecting the spee-
dometer signal:
1. Location: In many vehicles the speedometer signal can be
picked up from the vehicle’s car radio jack. Please request
the exact pinning from the vehicle manufacturer customer
service centre or inquire at an authorised navigation dea-
ler.
2. Do not tap the speedometer signal from ABS control units
or the control lines.
3. If a vehicle has not been equipped with a speedometer si-
gnal, or if the TravelPilot system is unable to process the
signal correctly, a wheel sensor must be mounted on the
non-driven wheel closest to the middle of the carriageway.
4. Important:
We assume no liability for equipment which has been con-
nected incorrectly and any consequential damages!
