Installation best practices
• Wires should be connected while GPS device is not plugged in.
• Wires should be fastened to the other wires (excluding air bag wires)
or non-moving parts. Avoid heat emitting and moving objects near the
wires, modules or antennas.
• Wires should not impede, interfere, or interface with any components of
the vehicles air bag systems, nor cause any hardware or wires to come in
contact with or run directly in front of any air bag equipment or deploy-
ment pathways.
• If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be
damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation
should be applied.
• Wires must not be connected to on-board computers or control units.
Connecting ignition wire
Connection to the ignition wire is necessary in order to capture when trips
start and finish.
• Confirm the ignition wire – power does not disappear while starting the
engine.
• Confirm the wire is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position,
most electronics of the vehicle are available).
• Confirm power is still available after turning o
ff
any of vehicles devices
(e.g. radio).
Connecting the power source
Check if the power is still available on the vehicle’s power wire, even after
the car computer falls asleep (which might take up to 30 minutes). When
the module is connected, check the voltage again. If it did not decrease it
is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
