GPS antenna
main unit
screws (4)
wiring harness
hook and loop
fasteners (2)
Installing the main unit
Use the screws or the hook and loop fasteners (similar to Velcro®) provided to mount the main unit in the vehicle. Select a
location that allows you to access the unit's SD card slot.
Caution
• Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or humidity, dust, spills, or
liquids. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.
• Check for cables or other parts underneath the floor mat before cutting the floor mat.
Installing the GPS antenna
Caution
• Do not paint the antenna. This will impair or disable signal reception.
• Remove any object or accumulated snow, etc., from the top of the antenna. It will reduce reception strength.
• Do not pull the cord when removing the antenna or adjusting its position. This can cause a short or snap the wires.
The GPS antenna can be installed either inside or outside the vehicle. It should be placed horizontally for best GPS
reception. The GPS antenna must have a clear view of the sky. If you install the antenna inside the vehicle, place it
close to a window; GPS signals can pass through glass but not through metal. Refer to the image on the next page for
recommended places to install the antenna. Place the GPS antenna on a metallic surface, such as the roof of your vehicle,
for best reception.
Installing optional accessories
The optional XM Smart Antenna (such as the GXM 30) can be placed inside or outside the vehicle. Like the GPS
antenna, it must have a clear view of the sky. If you use an extension cable with the XM antenna, wrap the two connectors
with electrical tape. For information on installing the optional FM traffic receiver (such as the GTM 10), refer to the
Installation Guide included with the traffic receiver.
