MODEL 140
MODEL 210 with CODE 581 (Comfort automatic air conditioning)
On vehicles with automatic air conditioning, a sun sensor (B32) is located between the defroster outlets on the instrument panel. This means there are two possible installation locations for the GPS antenna.
This should be agreed upon with the customer.
- GPS antenna (2) on the right next to the sun sensor (B32) on the instrument panel.
Antenna slightly overlaps the right defroster outlet - affected when defrosting the windshield.
Antenna sits not centered on the instrument panel.
- GPS antenna (2) on the left between the instrument cluster and speaker cover.
Slight loss in reception strength due to left A-pillar.
