ONE Determine a location
for the GPS device. We recommend installation
behind the glove box under the dash.
This location allows the antenna to
“look” up through the windshield
for its signal. Much of this space will
likely be used by the passenger airbag
but usually there is enough available
space somewhere in this area to mount
the device. Once you have installed
the device, plug the data port attached
to one end of the cable into the unit.
For powering the GPS unit we suggest
connecting the wires at the other end
of the cable to the vehicle fuse panel.
For the green or white wire labelled
gnition, look for a source that will
go OFF/ON with the key. For the red
wire labelled battery, look for a source
that is always “HOT”.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that this source does
not go OFF/ON when the Ignition is switched
OFF/ON. Determine the fuse
used in your vehicle and connect these
2 wires using the supplied connectors.
For the black wire labelled ground,
find a source that is chassis grounded.
You may need to drill mount your own
screw for this connection. NOTE:
To provide a secure connection and to
avoid severing or pinching these fine
wires, we suggest stripping about 1"
and folding the wire twice before inserting
into and crimping the connector. Use
the cable ties (supplied) to secure
the cable. |

TW0 Place the GPS/cellular
antenna (side with the receiver facing
up) beneath the dash. The antenna must
be as horizontal as possible, but in
no case greater than 20 degrees from
horizontal. Never place the antenna
under metal; your unit will not work.
If there is no room under the front
dash, you might try the rear deck of
an automobile with a rear window. Once
the antenna is mounted, connect the
wires as labelled: One to the GPS connector
with a yellow band that says GPS, and
the other to the cellular connector.
Ensure they are connected very secure
and screwed on securely but DO NOT over
tighten.To verify your unit is functioning,
the LED labelled PWR should be lit red.
When the ignition is turned on, the
ignition IGN LED should light yellow,
and the green GPS light will be on for
5 seconds then off for 5 seconds. Once
the device has GPS location data, the
LED will be on for 2 seconds then off
for 2 seconds.Your unit is working properly.
Place electrical tape over the LED if
you wish to hide the lights. Dress your
wires and put the vehicle back together.It
is recommended that you now test the
unit via the GPS AnyPlace website using
your personal username and secret password.
