Installation
Installing the GPS antenna
• Do not cut the GPS antenna lead to shorten it or use an extension to make it
longer. Altering the antenna cable could result in a short circuit or malfunc-
tion and permanent damage to the navigation system.
Installation notes
• When installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet pro-
vided with your system. If this is not used, the reception sensitivity will be poor.
• Do not cut the accessory metal sheet. This would reduce the sensitivity of the GPS
antenna.
• Take care not to pull the antenna lead when removing the GPS antenna. The magnet
attached to the antenna is very powerful, and the lead may become detached.
• The GPS antenna is installed with a magnet. When installing the GPS antenna, be care-
ful not to scratch the vehicle body.
• When installing the GPS antenna on the outside of the vehicle, always put it in the vehi-
cle when going through an automatic vehicle wash. If it is left on the outside it may be
knocked off and scratch the vehicle body.
• Do not paint the GPS antenna, as this may affect its performance.
Roof
Rear shelf
Trunk lid
• The antenna should be installed on a
level surface where radio waves will
be blocked as little as possible. Radio
waves cannot be received by the anten-
na if reception from the satellite is
blocked.
Installation on the vehicle roof or trunk
lid is recommended to optimise recep-
tion.
