3. Antenna installation
3.1 Radio antenna
In the case of vehicles that have been
prefitted (e.g. VW, Seat, Audi), the sup-
ply voltage for the antenna is provided
via the antenna cable (see the vehi-
cle’s operating instructions). If you
want to replace the original equipment
radio with a standard radio, you must
obtain an antenna supply diplexer (Or-
der no. 7 691 290 202) or the adapter
cable (Order no. 7 607 621 129) from
your dealer.
You will find details on installing and
connecting the antenna in the anten-
na installation instructions.
After carrying out the installation, plug
the antenna cable into the socket des-
ignated for this on the TravelPilot (see
Fig. 3).
3.2 GPS antenna (satellite naviga-
tion)
You will find details on installing and
connecting the antenna in the supplied
antenna installation instructions.
You must take the following into ac-
count if installing the GPS antenna in-
side the vehicle:
The antenna requires a clear view of
as large an area of the sky as possible.
For this reason, the dashboard pro-
vides a suitable installation position
directly behind the windscreen, as long
as the windscreen has no metallic coat-
ing and the windscreen wipers do not
block the view.
The antenna should be installed in the
middle of the dashboard at a distance
of at least 2 cm from the windscreen.
Note: Despite these recommenda-
tions, installing the GPS antenna in-
side the vehicle is still unfavourable.
For this reason, no guarantee can be
given that the system will function cor-
rectly.
After carrying out the installation, plug
the SMB plug into the socket designat-
ed for this on the TravelPilot (see
Fig. 3).
4. TravelPilot installation
The TravelPilot is installed in the car
radio compartment designated by the
vehicle manufacturer.
For vehicles that do not have a DIN
compartment: Blaupunkt supplies
vehicle-specific installation kits (for
50/52 mm devices) for the most com-
mon vehicle models. Therefore, please
check the situation inside the vehicle
as regards installation and, if neces-
sary, use a vehicle-specific installation
kit to carry out the installation.
4.1 Fitting the installation bracket
The installation bracket that comes
with this TravelPilot allows the Travel-
Pilot to be installed in vehicles fitted
with a DIN-size car radio compartment
(182 x 53 x 165 mm) and a dashboard
thickness near the mounting tabs of
1-20 mm (see Fig. 4). To install, you
must insert the mounting bracket into
the compartment and check which se-
curing tabs on the bracket can be bent
over using a screwdriver (see Fig. 4a).
Note: Bend over as many of the se-
curing tabs as possible.
4.2 Installing the TravelPilot in the
installation compartment
All plugs must be pushed into the
chambers until the side clips click into
place.
Caution! Before inserting the Travel-
Pilot completely, you must first level out
the gyro (see Fig. 6).
Caution! TravelPilot installation posi-
tion: right / left: min. -5° / max. +5°, front
to back: min. -10° / max. +30°.
