IMPORTANT NOTES
NOTE:
For many vehicle models, a vehicle-specic 1-DIN installation set is required for professional
installation. In order to be able to use the existing steering wheel remote control of your ve-
hicle, a vehicle-specic adapter may also be required. You can obtain information about this
on the Internet or from your specialist dealer.
This guide is an aid for the professional installation of the device.
Please note the following notes before installation:
• Always handle all parts of the device and the components of your vehicle with care.
• Under all circumstances observe the regulations of the vehicle manufacturer and do not
make any changes to the vehicle which could impair driving safety.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the vehicle battery’s ground connection before installa-
tion.
• Please always pay attention to the correct polarity of the connections.
• Please do not modify any harnesses or connections of the device or the vehicle as this
may affect the warranty.
• Make sure that no cables are squashed or cause a short circuit.
• Do not lay cables in front of the airbags, e.g. in the dashboard or in a way that affects
their function.

on the next page. Then connect all cable sets, antennas and dongles to the ESX main
device as described on page 6. Then plug in the cable plug from the radio slot of the
vehicle on the ESX main unit or on its vehicle-specic system cable set.
Installation of the ESX main device
Now the ESX main device can be inserted into the 1-DIN installation slot of the vehi-
cle.

NOTE:
The handbrake signal must be connected to BRAKE. When the handbrake is applied, the
signal must be connected to ground. According to legal regulations, the device may only
play videos on the main screen when the handbrake is engaged. The connection cable must
therefore not be permanently connected to ground. While driving, the screen is switched off
to avoid accidents caused by carelessness.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GPS antenna
The GPS antenna must be glued horizontally to the front of the dash-
board. No reception is possible if the window is metallized. Choose
a at spot with a clear view of the sky. The location must be about
50 cm away from the main unit, otherwise the GPS measurement
accuracy will be reduced. When installing the GPS antenna in the
vehicle, the GPS accuracy is determined by the installation position
and body shape of the vehicle. The accuracy is usually lower when
the GPS antenna is installed in the vehicle.
DAB antenna
Route the DAB antenna to the windshield and attach it there.
External microphone
The external microphone should be po-
sitioned in an easily accessible location,
e.g. next to the sun visor or on the steering
column.
USB ports
Route the USB ports to the desired location, e.g. to the glove compartment.
Remove the lm on
the underside of the
GPS antenna
Clean the windshield with a suitable
cleaning cloth.
Remove the carrier sheet of the black am-
plier unit and the foil antenna and stick
the antenna to the window.
Glue the copper-colored metal surface of
the grounding sheet to a bare metal part
of the vehicle.
Carrier sheet
Grounding sheet
NOTE:
In newer vehicles, the original vehicle antenna can usually
be used for both analogue and digital radio reception. The
enclosed DAB window antenna should only be used if no
fender or roof antenna is available.

SETUP THE 4G/LTE INTERNET CONNECTION
1. First lay the two 4G/LTE antennas inside the dashboard towards the windshield,
one antenna for the left and one for the right.
2. Ideally, you should stick the antennas to the windshield to ensure optimal recep-
tion.
3. Then insert your SIM card in the 4G/LTE dongle:
Open the dongle by pushing the ap
to the right.
Then insert your SIM card with the
contacts facing down.
Close and lock the metal ap carefully
by pushing the ap down.
Compatible SIM cards:
Micro SIM Nano SIM with adapter
for Micro SIM
Now open the metal ap carefully
with a suitable tool by pushing the
ap up.

10
If the device is successfully connect-
ed to the mobile Internet, the „LTE“
symbol appears in the status bar at
the top right.
If the device is turned off, you have
to enter the PIN code of the SIM card
again after each restart, just like with a
smartphone*.
SETUP THE 4G/LTE INTERNET CONNECTION
4. Then turn on the device to test the 4G/LTE connection.
After the device has started, enter
your 4-digit PIN code of the SIM card
here. Conrm the entry with the tick.
After successful entry, the SIM card is
unlocked.
5. After a successful test, install the 4G/LTE dongle in the radio slot or dashboard.
* The SIM card‘s PIN query can be deactivated in standard smartphones. To do this,
insert the SIM card in a smartphone and deactivate it accordingly. The steps involved
vary depending on the smartphone.
