Frequently Asked Questions

Who should perform the installation and wiring?

Mounting and wiring require skills and experience, so left this work to professionals for safety.

How do I install the RF antenna on the trunk lid?

Use the waterproof pad (Accessory 4) beside the rubber seal. Glue it, draw in the cable from the trunk lid to the room, and wipe off any smudges.

What are the operational limitations of this unit?

The general operating temperature range is –10°C to +60°C. It should not be installed where there is direct sunlight, excessive heat/humidity, or dust.

Are there specific requirements for connecting the ignition wires?

If your car lacks an ACC position, connect auxiliary wires to a source that can be turned on and off with the key. Avoid constant voltage supplies like battery wires, as they may drain the battery.
