A) Installation in the glove compartment
Antenna and cabling installation
It is recommended to install the antennas as shown in the following
diagram below (please ensure to use the adhesive pads provided).
All connection cables mentioned are to be laid in the glove compart-
ment.
The Wi2U is delivered with a cable set for connection to the on-board
electronics (12V or 24V) and a connection for the cigarette lighter.
Select the right cable and connect it to the corresponding connec-
tions in the vehicle. Please ensure that ignition on/off recognition
does not function when connected via the cigarette lighter.
Option 1: (Connection to the cigarette lighter)
Connect the UMTS antenna, and, if required, the optional GPS an-
tenna according to the colour coding of the Fakra connector to the
GPS (optional) UMTS
WLAN
Strom-
versorgung
Do not obstruct the eld of vision
appropriate connector socket on the Wi2U. Take the cable for the
cigarette lighter and insert the 4-pin connector into the corresponding
socket of the Wi2U. Plug the other end of the cable into the cigarette
lighter socket of your vehicle.
Option 2: (Connection directly to vehicle on-board electrical
system)
Connect the UMTS antenna and the optional GPS antenna accor-
ding to the colour coding of the Fakra connector to the appropriate
connector socket on the Wi2U. Take the cable for the on-board elec-
tronics and insert the 4-pin connector into the corresponding socket
of the Wi2U. Connect the other cable to the on-board electronics of
your vehicle. When doing so, please observe the following connec-
tions:
Yellow cable to terminal 15 (ignition on/off)
Red cable to terminal 30 (vehicle battery 12V or 24V)
Black cable to ground
For details about the connection to vehicle on-board electrical sys-
tem please refer to Chapter Technical Data and Important Notes.

Wi2U mounting
The Wi2U router can either be afxed in the glove compartment by
using the Velcro strips provided, or screwed through the housing bore
in the plastic casing using the screws. When mounting the Wi2U with
the screws provided, the existing device screws must be removed
beforehand. When using the Velcro strips ensure the surface is free
from grease and apply the Velcro strips with high pressure.

Before mounting, please disconnect all connection cables according
to the drawing on the Wi2U router above.
The Wi2U router is precongured to operate only when the ignition is
switched on. The start-up time is approximately 30 seconds.
B) Installation in the boot
The Wi2U router can alternatively be installed in the boot of the ve-
hicle.
1. Afx the UMTS antenna and optional GPS antenna to the inside
of each side window (if possible, one antenna on the left side of the
vehicle, the other on the right side of the vehicle to prevent mutual
interference).
2. Further installation procedures for connections and mounting are
identical to glove compartment installation.

Start-up
1. Insert the SIM card into the
SIM card slot (pictured on the right).
2. Switch on the ignition.
Wi2U will start (Power LED and WLAN LED light up).
3. Establish a WLAN connection to the Wi2U.
The Wi2U is precongured with the following settings:
SSID (Network name)
WPA (TKIP) / WPA2 (AES) (WLAN key)
The device-specic settings can be found on page 23 of this manual
and also labelled on the underside of the device. Use the normal
WLAN application on your computer to connect. Search for a net-
work and click on Connect with the SSID of the Wi2U router. Enter
the WPA2 key.
4. Launch the Internet Browser on your computer and enter the follo-
wing address http://192.168.1.1 or http://router.wi2u.
The start window of the Wi2U web server will open and you will be
prompted to enter the PIN for your SIM card.

After clicking on the „Save“ button, the PIN will be automatically
stored.
This is followed by automatic provider recognition. When you accept
the settings by clicking on the „Yes“ button, these settings are auto-
matically saved to your SIM card and the overview page is displayed.
The settings for the SIM card can later be changed under menu item
Settings/3G UMTS.

Connection name
The settings for your SIM card are administered under a freely de-
nable connection name. By default, this is usually the name of your
provider. The connection name can be changed manually.
Access Point Name (APN)
The Wi2U tries to determine the access settings automatically based
on your SIM card and stores them in the SIM card prole. You can
change the settings here manually.
Roaming
You can switch on data roaming by activating the check box. With
data roaming switched off, the router will not establish a connection
when you are located outside of your home network. By default, roa-
ming is deactivated.

PIN
The PIN is requested when you rst insert the SIM card and general-
ly must not be changed. If needed, you can change or set the PIN of
your SIM card using the PIN dialog.
Counter
The volume counter displayed in the status bar at the top indicates
the amount of data transferred with the SIM card in MB (downloa-
ded/uploaded) since the last reset. The counters can be reset from
within this setting.
Advanced 3G / UMTS settings
For some providers it is necessary to make advanced setting chan-
ges. For most providers, these settings are not required. You can
access advanced settings by clicking on the „Advanced“ link.
