Mounting the external GPS antenna
If you install the LINK 510 in a position where it has poor GPS reception, you need to use the
external GPS antenna accessory from TomTom Telematics, Art. no 9UKE.001.00, which comes
with an integrated magnet and an adhesive pad. The external GPS antenna from TomTom
Telematics is not part of the standard LINK 510 product package.
To check if your LINK 510 has GPS reception use the Diagnostic Tool. You can download the
Diagnostic Tool from the Partner Portal.
Important
Only use the GPS antenna from TomTom Telematics, otherwise GPS performance may be poor or
not work at all.
Tinted metallised windscreens or those with integrated filament heating may prevent good GPS
reception. In this case, place the GPS antenna in the rear window or on the outside of the vehicle.
The magnet of the antenna remains attached to the outside of the car at speeds of up to 180 km/h.
Install the GPS antenna in a position where it has a clear view of the sky and is unobstructed by
metal objects.
The GPS antenna must be placed with the adhesive pad on an oil free, dry and clean surface.
Extreme temperature changes or differences can affect the adhesive property of the pad.
To mount your external GPS antenna, do the following:
