VDO PC 5400 Mounting Instructions page 6

Horizontal mounting (only possible with PC 5500/5400), ill. 4a
The navigation computer has to be installed in horizontal position. A deviation of
–10 to + 30 degrees can be adjusted within the diagnosis menu (see "Initial start-up").
Greater deviations can cause malfunctions.
Insert metal sleeve into the DIN opening and press appropriate tags outwards with a
screwdriver. Take care not to damage hidden parts in the dashboard.
Vertical mounting (only possible with PC 5500 V)
The navigation computer has to be installed in vertical position. Deviations of
±10 degrees from the vertical position can be adjusted within the diagnosis menu (see
"Initial start-up"). Greater deviations can cause malfunctions.
Securing the computer using the mounting brackets
If installation of the navigation computer in a DIN slot is impossible or undesirable, it
can be installed in alternative installation locations using the supplied mounting
brackets (e.g., in the glove box, in the luggage compartment or under the seats).
For this purpose, both side-mounted catch springs must be removed from the
navigation computer. The two Torx screws are required later for securing the
mounting bracket.
Attaching mounting brackets, ill. 5
1. Position the brackets with the punched out tab at the right (or left) rear edge of the
computer housing. It must be ensured that the tab fully engages with the sheet
metal of the computer housing.
2. Swing the bracket forwards, applying pressure to the rear edge of the bracket so that
it is flush with the computer housing.
3. Fasten the brackets to the computer housing using the existing Torx screws.
The computer can then be secured in the desired installation location using the screws
supplied.
Suspended installation
If suspended installation is required for the computer (e.g., under the rear shelf), the
mounting brackets can be attached to the computer in the reversed position.
Installing GPS antenna, ill. 7 - 8
The GPS antenna can be mounted in the vehicle interior, for example on the
dashboard or on the hatshelf. The antenna must have clear "view" of the sky.
–
In vehicles with metallic window tinting the GPS antenna should be mounted
outside on the vehicle body, for example on the roof or in the plastic bumper.
–
On metal surfaces the antenna can be fixed without the metal plate. Stick the
antenna on the cleaned surface with double-sided adhesive tape.
–
When mounting on other surfaces the metal plate has to remain below the
antenna. In this case stick antenna with the metal plate mounted below to the
cleaned surface with double-sided adhesive tape.
Notes: To ensure perfect function please keep a distance of at least 10 cm to metall
parts like window frame.
Mounting temperature should be at least 15 degrees centigrade to ensure the full
adhesive effect of the tape.
