Unless your device has a special installation method, the device will have to be connected to wires inside the dashboard. Use the multimeter to find the main power wire by testing wires until the multimeter reads around 12-13 V. | Unless your device has a special installation method, the device will have to be connected to wires inside the dashboard.

If your device uses external antennas, thread them through the dashboard and fasten them in place. The external GNSS antenna | If your device uses external antennas, thread them through the dashboard and fasten them in place. The external GNSS antenna receiver should be as close to the windshield as possible, obstructed by the least amount of metal. Likewise, devices with internal antennas should be also placed as close to the windshield as possible. | ||
