Notes on positioning GPS antenna, TrafficStar - AH82.61-P-0001-02A

MODEL 140 

MODEL 210 with CODE 581 (Comfort automatic air conditioning) 

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT 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. 

  1. GPS antenna (2) on the right next to the sun sensor (B32) on the instrument panel. IMPORTANT Antenna slightly overlaps the right defroster outlet - affected when defrosting the windshield.

Antenna sits not centered on the instrument panel.
