Safety information
– Faulty installation or servicing of this
equipment may result in malfunc-
tions in the vehicle’s electronic sys-
tems.
– To prevent damage to your TravelPi-
lot, be sure to use the correct adapt-
er cable to connect the vehicle 8-pin
+/- ISO plug.
Observe the following safety information
while installing and connecting the
system:
– Disconnect the negative terminal of
the battery.
– In doing so, observe the safety infor-
mation provided by the vehicle man-
ufacturer.
– Make sure not to damage any vehi-
cle parts when you drill holes.
– The cross-section of the positive and
negative wiring must not be less than
18GA.
– Use wire bushings for sharp-edged
holes.
– The TravelPilot can be used in vehi-
cles with:
• 12 V battery power
• Negative pole on the chassis
Information on proper
installation
To ensure that the TravelPilot functions
properly, it is essential that the system
be calibrated after it has been complete-
ly installed (see Operating instructions
/ Contents / Calibration).
The system determines the distance trav-
elledviaitsconnectiontothevehiclespeed-
ometer signal.If there is no speedometer
signal, it will be necessary to have a wheel
sensor mounted by an authorized custom-
er service center.
In this case you will have to order a sen-
sor kit (wheel sensor, magnet strip,
bracket and plug) from your dealer.

Installation instructions
1. Installing the antenna
Connect the antenna wiring to the en-
closed bracket (see Fig. 5).
1.1 Radio antenna
In pre-equipped vehicles (e.g.: VW,
BMW, Audi), the antenna gets its pow-
er supply via the antenna wire (see the
vehicle operating instructions). If you
want to replace the OEM radio with a
conventional radio, you will have to
order an antenna. You will find infor-
mation on the installation and connec-
tion of the antenna in the antenna in-
stallation instructions. (see Fig. 5).
1.2 GPS antenna (satellite navigation)
You will find information on how to in-
stall the antenna in the enclosed an-
tenna installation instructions.
If the GPS antenna is installed inside
the vehicle, we cannot guarantee that
the system will function correctly.
2. Installing the TravelPilot
2.1 Setting the Gyro
Important: Before the TravelPilot is
inserted, the gyroscope must be put in
a horizontal position (see Fig. 8).
Important: Installation position of the
TravelPilot: right / left: min. 5˚/ max.
+5˚,fronttoback:min. -10˚/max.+30˚
The TravelPilot is installed in the
standard car radio compartment pro-
vided by the manufacturer (see Fig. 5 ).
Please check the installation condi-
tions in your vehicle and use a vehi-
cle-specificinstallation kit if necessary.
2.2 Installing the bracket
The bracket included with this Travel-
Pilot allows you to install the system in
vehicles with a DIN car radio compart-
ment measuring 182 x 53 x 165 mm
and an instrument panel which is 1 to
20 mm in the area where the fastener
tabs are located, (see Fig. 1). For the
installation, you have to push the
bracket into the compartment and de-
termine which fastener tabs you can
bend over with a screwdriver (see
Fig. 6).
Note: Bend over as many of the fas-
tener tabs as possible.
2.3 Installing the TravelPilot
Push all of the plugs into the sockets
until they lock into place. Now insert
the navigation system from the front
into the bracket. Apply gentle pressure
to both side edges and push it in until
the spring locks snap into position on
the right and left (you will hear a loud
click).
Important! When you push in the sys-
tem,make sure that you donot put any
pressure on the display, the knobs or
the keys!
2.4 Removing the TravelPilot
Insertthe handles into the correspond-
ing holes on the left and right side of
the front panel and push them in until
you hear a loud click (unlocking the
side spring locks). Use both handles
to carefully pull the TravelPilot out of
the compartment. Now you can pull
out the connection cables by applying
pressure on the side of the plug (see
Fig. 7).
Note: Once the handles have locked
into place, they cannot be removed
until you pull the TravelPilot out of the
compartment.

2.5 Connecting the back-up light
signal wire
The back-up light signal wire connects
thesystem to the vehicle back-up light.
Make sure that this connection is
charged with 12 volts when the vehi-
cle is in reverse.
Important: We assume no liability for
faulty connections and their conse-
quences!
2.6 Connecting the speedometer
signal
Important : Only an authorized cus-
tomer service center should make this
connection.
Thespeedometer signal wire connects
the system to the vehicle-specific
speedometer signal connection.
Important : We assume no liability for
faulty connections and their conse-
quences!

Control cable (Power Antenna +)
The control cable is the connected positive output for
auxiliary components e.g.: power antennas,
(maximum load < 150 mA).
Important! Do not connect the control cable to terminal 15
(Plus connected) or terminal 30 (continuous plus).
Ground
Do not connect the ground wire (min. cross-section 18 GA)
to the negative terminal of the battery.
Lay the ground wire to a suitable ground (chassis screw,
chassis metal) and screw it down.
Continuous + connection (terminal 30 battery + 12 V)
Lay the plus wire (cross-section min.18 GA) to the battery
(not directly along the wire harnesses). Connect the fuse
holder to protect the plus wire and connect it to the pos-
itive terminal on the battery.
Illumination connection
Illumination connection for vehicles with variable instrument
lighting (+ regulated).
Plus connection (connected to the ignition)
This connection must be made via the ignition switch
(terminal 15, +12V).
