Antenna Configuration
The 65xx beacons have a combined GPS/cell
network antenna module. The 6550 model uses an
external antenna attached with FAKRA connectors,
while the 6551 and 6581 are equipped with an
internal antenna housed within the beacon.
For either configuration, the antenna must be
positioned in the vehicle so that it has a clear
signal path to as much of the sky as possible,
without metal obstruction. For internal antennas,
the beacon itself must be positioned properly for
good signal reception.
