Positive connection Fig. 2

The navigation unit must be connected to permanent plus 12 V and

positive via the ignition.

Lay the permanent plus 12 V wire (red) to the battery (do not lay the wiring

directly by the wire harnesses). Attach the fuse carrier to protect the

positive wire and connect it to the positive terminal on the battery (if

necessary, drill a hole through the splashboard and use wire bushings

accordingly).

Connect the switching plus wire (black) with the fuse carrier at terminal

15 (switched to plus via the ignition) behind the fuse. In cars in which it

is not possible to connect the wire in the fuse box, use the enclosed fuse

carrier to connect the wire directly to terminal 15 at the ignition. Remove

the steering wheel panelling first.

Negative connection Fig. 2

Screw the negative wire (brown) directly onto the chassis. Scratch the

contact point for the ground down to the bare metal and grease it with

antiseize graphite petroleum (important for good grounding).

Magnetic field sensor (electronic compass)

Note: You must determine the optimum mounting location for

the magnetic field sensor in each vehicle individually. Before

permanently installing the magnetic field sensor, attach it

temporarily and then test the chosen location with the installation

and calibration CD-ROM to make sure everything operates

correctly.

The magnetic field sensor must be installed in the passenger room. It

determines the driving direction by measuring the horizontal earth

magnetic field component. Since the earth magnet field is relatively

small, you must ensure that there is no magnetic or electromagnetic

interference affecting the magnet field sensor at the chosen mounting

location.

Use the enclosed mounts to attach the magnet field sensor to a window

which cannot be opened or, especially where estate wagons or liftback

cars are concerned, mount it without fasteners underneath the inside roof

lining using double-sided sticky tape.

Note: If the magnetic field sensor is mounted in the direct vicinity

of an AM radio antenna integrated into the rear window, it may

cause occasional interference in the radio reception in the long

wave range.

Testing the mounting location of the magnetic field

sensor

Two different tests are required.

1. Test for permanent magnetic interference

Load the installation disk.

Select „find compass location“, and then „compass ellipse“ and drive the

vehicle in a circle. A circle should appear on the display inside the

squares (ideally the circle should be in the centre). If this circle is partially

or entirely outside of the squares, then you must mount the magnetic field

sensor in a different place.

Safety instructions

Installation and connection regulations

While installing and mounting this equipment, you must

disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Important:

You must also comply with all safety instructions given by the

auto manufacturer (alarm system, vehicle immobilizer, airbag)!

Before drilling holes for mounting the equipment or laying the

wiring, make sure that no existing wiring or auto parts (such as the

petrol tank, fuel line) will be damaged.

Use wire bushings on sharp-edged holes.

In order to avoid any interference, lay all wiring far enough away

from the wire harnesses.

Equipment fuses:

Basic unit: 5 A wire fuse

5 A miniature fuse

GPS receiver: 5 A wire fuse

Notes on the operation of the system

In order to ensure the trouble-free operation of the navigation system, a

calibration must be performed after the equipment has been installed. A

special installation and calibration CD-ROM, including operating

instructions, is required. Software available for the Berlin RCM 303 A

operating panel from version 04.11.94 is capable of controlling the

navigation componentry. Older software must be replaced by the most

recent update, whereby an update for the tuner software is also required

(at least version 08.09.94).

Note: An error message list, a service checklist and diagnostic aids have

been included at the end of these installation instructions.

Componentry Fig. 1

The navigation componentry consists of a navigation computer with an

integrated CD-ROM drive (navigation unit), a NAVI interface, a GPS

receiver with an antenna, a precision resistor for the rear window

defogger, a magnetic field sensor, wheel sensors, a loudspeaker and

mounting material.

Mounting location for the navigation unit

Remove the transport block (two brass screws in the upper plate)

before beginning the installation work. Keep these screws in a safe

place in case the unit must be set in for servicing. After removing

the screws, insert the enclosed plugs into the holes in the upper

plate.

The navigation unit need not be installed at any particular position.

When choosing the mounting location for the navigation unit, you must

make sure that the unit is installed lying in a horizontal position (you must

be able to read the writing on the flap).

Make sure that there is enough room to insert the navigation CD into the

CD drive. Use the enclosed installation material in order to mount the

navigation unit.Positive connection Fig. 2

2. Testing for interference caused by other electrical equipment

Load the installation disk, select „find compass location“ and then

„compass error“.

Press „reset“, switch on the consumers (e.g. sliding sun roof, rear

window wiper).

The value indicated for „Loc. error“ must be less than 3.5.

Press reset each time you switch on a different piece of electrical

equipment.

After having tested each piece of electrical consumer individually,

check logical combinations as well. The sum of the values for the

consumers must not exceed a „Loc. error“ of 3.5.

If the value registered exceeds 3.5, then you must mount the

magnetic field sensor in a different location.

Note: Do not switch on the rear window defogger while testing for

interference from the electrical equipment. Any interference caused

by the rear window defogger is registered separately during

calibration and then compensated.

Precision resistor for the rear window defogger

(shunt)

The precision resistor has 2 connection wires and 1 measuring wire:

1. Connection to the ground contact of the rear window defogger

(length: 250 cm),

2. Connection to the vehicle chassis (length: 75 cm),

3. Measuring wire to the navigation unit (length: 50 cm), Fig. 3

The mounting location of the precision resistor depends on the length of

the wiring.

Do not lengthen the connection wires for the ground contact and the

vehicle chassis. Do not attach the connection for the vehicle chassis to

the liftback in estate wagons or liftback cars. Select the mounting location

for the precision resistor so that any heat build-up will be eliminated

(chassis metal).

Lay the measuring wire to the navigation unit and connect it to the

corresponding jack of the compact plug, Fig. 3

Note:

No other electrical equipment (e.g. rear window wiper) may be connected

to the ground contact for the rear window defogger, except for the rear

window defogger.

Wheel sensors and magnetic strips Fig. 4

Safety instructions

Never screw the wheel sensor clamp onto any stress-bearing

parts.

Never drill holes in any stress-bearing parts.

Do not attach the sensor wiring to the brake lines or to any

moving parts.

The wheels must be tightened using the torque recommended

by the factory (approx. 100 Nm).

Mount the wheel sensors and the magnetic strips on the free-rolling

wheels, for four-wheel drive cars, on the rear wheels.

In order to mount both the wheel sensors and the magnetic strips, the

vehicle must be jacked up.

Screw the wheel sensors onto the sensor mounts and look for a suitable

mounting location. The sensors must not swing mechanically and they

should be placed in a sheltered location.

While mounting the wheel sensors, it is essential to comply with the

installation tolerances, Fig. 5

Mounting the magnetic strips

After you have found a suitable location for the wheel sensors, you must

determine the position of the magnetic strips on the inside of the wheel

rims. Mark the location selected for the magnetic strip and remove the

wheel.

Before unscrewing the wheel nuts, mark the position of the wheel on the

wheel hub.

Because the magnetic strips are glued into position, the rim must be free

of rust, dirt, grease and water. Clean the inside of the wheel rim

thoroughly (brake cleaning fluid, brake and clutch cleaner).

To ensure that the glue adheres properly, the rims must be at room

temperature.

After thoroughly cleaning and perhaps allowing the rims to warm up, glue

the magnetic strips onto the marked spots over the entire area parallel to

the outer edge of the rim, Fig. 4

Notes

Do not glue the magnetic strips directly onto the edge of the rim, as here

they can be damaged very easily.

Do not piece the magnetic strip together and cut it only at the

marked points (maximum gap between the beginning and end

point, one field = 25 mm).

Mount the wheels and tighten the nuts. Align the wheel sensors in

keeping with the installation tolerances, Fig. 5, and screw them on.

Lay the sensor wires into the interior of the vehicle (use any existing

bushings or drill new holes) and lay them to the navigation unit.

GPS receiver

Mounting the antenna

Important information:

- Mount the antenna on a metal roof only. It is not permissible to

mount the antenna on synthetic roofs or aluminium.

- When mounted on a roof (held only by a magnet), the antenna

must not be exposed to temperatures lying outside a range of -20°

C to +80° C.

- It is not permissible to mount the antenna on roofs covered with

leather or synthetic material.

- Use protective sheathing to protect the antenna wire from being

pinched.

- The adhering surface of the antenna must be free of dirt, snow, ice,

etc.

- You must not lengthen, shorten or bend the antenna wire. Do not

remove the plug during the installation.

- If the antenna is painted with the same colour as the vehicle,

especially paints containing a high percentage of metal, this may

adversely affect the reception. There is no guarantee that the

antenna will operate properly after it has been painted.

Seen from the driving direction, the antenna is to be mounted on the right-

hand side in the rear of the vehicle (passenger’s side, in Great Britain,

driver’s side). On notchback vehicles, mount the antenna on the lid of the

boot using the corner clamps, Fig. 6.

On estate wagons and liftback cars, set the antenna on the roof with its

magnetic foot, Fig. 7.

For a roof mount, remove the corner clamps, Fig. 8.

For estate wagons and liftback cars, lay the antenna wire along the rain

gutter downwards and into the interior of the vehicle, Fig. 9.

Any obstacles near the antenna, such as roof or bicycle carriers, may

adversely affect or even prevent satellite reception.

Lay the antenna wire into the interior of the vehicle and connect the BNC

plug on the antenna wire with the antenna jack on the GPS receiver.

It is advisable to remove the antenna from the roof when driving through

a carwash.

Mounting the GPS receiver

The location for the GPS receiver is dependent on the length of the

antenna wire (2.5 m) and the connection wire to the navigation unit (1.5

m).

Cut the perforated strips into equal lengths and bend them to form corner

clamps, Fig. 10. Screw the clamps onto the GPS receiver using 4 screws

and tooth lock washers. Mount the GPS receiver in a dry spot in the boot

by screwing it on. Do not use screws longer than 7 mm, otherwise you

may destroy the GPS receiver.

Positive-negative connection GPS receiver Fig. 2

The GPS receiver must be connected to permanent plus 12 V and

positive via the ignition.

Lay the permanent plus 12 V wire (orange) to the battery (do not lay the

wire in the direct vicinity of any wire harnesses). Attach a fuse carrier to

protect the plus wire and connect it to the positive terminal of the battery

(if necessary, drill holes in the splashboard and use wire bushings

accordingly).

Connect the switching plus wire (red) to the fuse carrier at terminal 15

(switched to plus via the ignition) behind the fuse. In cars in which it is not

possible to connect the wire in the fuse box, use the enclosed fuse carrier

to connect the wire directly to terminal 15 at the ignition. Remove the

steering wheel panelling first.

Screw the negative wire (brown) directly onto the chassis. Scratch the

contact point for the ground down to the bare metal and grease it with

antiseize graphite petroleum (important for good grounding).

Connection with the Berlin RCM 303 A

There are 2 options for the connections to the Berlin RCM 303 A:

1. Connection without a TV/Video interface (see Fig. 11)

2. Connection with a TV/Video interface (see Fig. 12)

CORA bus

The unit is connected to the Berlin CORA bus via the NAVI interface.

Attach the enclosed coupling to the Berlin CORA bus (coloured wire at

Pin 1). Connect the enclosed CORA bus wire (2 m) with the coupling and

the NAVI interface, Fig. 13.

Loudspeaker

Install the loudspeaker for the voice directions in the foot area of the

vehicle so that it is possible to understand the voice instructions clearly.

Connecting the sensors for the navigation unit

Lay the connecting wires for the precision resistor, the wheel sensors, the

loudspeaker and the magnetic field sensor to the navigation unit and

connect them to the compact plugs, Fig. 14.
