tray to protect it from being damaged by other items in the trunk, or from
water that may leak into the trunk floor.
• Do not block the heat sink fins on the top of the breakout box.
• Do not leave the breakout box in direct sunlight for an extended period of
time, as it heats up considerably while in use.
(Optional) Install your Navigator unit
The Navigator unit can be installed almost anywhere in your vehicle, but it is
typically installed in the trunk.
Best practice: Use the following best practices to install the Navigator unit.
• The Navigator unit must be secure and protected from other equipment or
moving parts. For example, if you install it in the trunk, you should place it in
an enclosure or elevated tray to protect it from being damaged by other items
in the trunk, or from water that may leak into the trunk floor.
• Install the Navigator unit on a flat, level surface.
• Install the Navigator unit as close to the breakout box as possible, as you may
want to tap into the breakout box’s power cable to provide power to the Navigator
unit.
(Optional) Install USB GPS antenna
There are two different types of GPS antennas, depending on the AutoVu package
you purchased. One type connects to the Navigator unit (if you’re using one). If
you’re not using a Navigator unit, you’ll have the other type which connects to the
USB port on your in-vehicle computer.
1 Verify that the roof of your vehicle is clean, dry, and free of debris.
2 Place the magnetized end of the GPS antenna on your vehicle’s roof so that it
has an unobstructed view of the sky.
3 Pass the GPS antenna cable through one of the holes you drilled in the vehicle’s
roof for the Sharp cables, and do one of the following:
• If you are using the Navigator unit, connect the GPS antenna to the designated
connector on the unit. For more information, see component “D:
Navigator unit” in "Advanced mobile installation example" on page 80.
• If you are not using the Navigator unit, connect the antenna to a free USB
port on your in-vehicle computer.
