1. VIP Computer
The VIP Computer must be placed in a humidity-free
location such as in or under the dashboard.
• Mount the VIP Computer with tie-wraps or screws.
• note: Connect one end of the USB Cable to the VIP
Computer and make sure the other end remains easily
accessible, for instance lying free in the glove box.
2. Extension Box
Place the Extension Box horizontally (as depicted) under
the bonnet, in a reasonably humidity-free location.
• Connect the module to the FRONT port of the VIP
Computer. Do not yet close the lid of the Extension Box.
3. MPHD Antenna
Place the MPHD Antenna at the front of the car behind
the bumber or spoiler. Preferably behind flat and smooth
plastic, and certainly not behind metal.
• The large, smooth side that has no imprints, must face
straight forward in the driving direction, with the cable
coming out on the left or right side, as depicted.
• Connect it to any port of the Extension Box. The Antenna
must never be connected to the Laser Analyzer Box:
this can cause a short-circuit.
• For maximum performance, please make sure the
antenna receives sufficient airflow for cooling.
• Please see reverse side of this sheet for MultaRadar CD
optimized installation.
4. Lasers
Connect the Lasers to the Laser Analyzer Box port 1,
2, 3 or 4 (see Laser Analyzer Box). The Lasers need an
unobstructed ‘view’ outwards.

5. Laser Analyzer Box
Place the Laser Analyzer Box horizontally (as depicted)
under the bonnet, in a reasonably humidity-free location.
• Connect the Laser Analyzer Box to the Extension Box
with the plug in the left “CC port” and connect the
other end to any of the ports on the Extension Box.
Do not yet close the lid.
6. Speaker
Place the speaker under the dashboard.
• Connect the module to the Speaker port ( ) of the
VIP Computer.
7. GPS Antenna
Place the antenna on the dashboard. If the car has a heat-
repelling windshield, it is better to place the antenna
outside the cabin of the car, for instance in a space at the
top end of the bonnet.
• Connect the cable of the antenna to the GPS port of
the VIP Computer.
8. VIP Display & VIP Display Holder
Place the VIP Display Holder at a convenient location
for the driver.
• Connect the module to the DISPLAY port of the
VIP Computer.
• Place the VIP Display on the VIP Display Holder.
9. 8-pole I/O plug
• Connect the orange wire to the ignition-actuated 13.8V
battery power (+15).
• If so desired, attach the green Mute-cable to the Mute-
wire of the radio.
• The black wire is for future use.
10. 2-pole power plug
• Connect the red wire to the 13.8V battery power (+30).
• Connect the black wire to a ‘clean’ metal ground-point
of the car chassis.
11. Closing the Extension Box and
Laser Analyzer Box
After all the cables have been connected, it is important
to close the boxes (see steps 2 and 5) in a water resistant
manner. Place the cables in the holes of the opposite
facing ‘rubber seals’ (see example). This prevents moisture
from getting into the box.
Next, place the rubber seals with the now inserted cables
into the slot, as depicted in the example on the left. Make
sure the rubbers are pushed down all the way using
silicone spray to facilitate this. Put the lid back on so that
it is tight and secure.

MPHD Antenne installation for MultaRadar CD
The multi poled MPHD Antenna has been designed for
horizontal installation. Those drivers who wish to have
optimized reception of MultaRadar CD signals can choose
to have the antenna mounted diagonally, as explained in the
overview below.
1. Diagonally place the antenna
behind the bumper or spoiler, with
the smooth surface facing forward.
2. Make sure the upper and lower corners
of the antenna are intersected by the
same, imaginary, vertical line.
3. From the point of view of the driver, the cable connection must
be on the bottom right of the antenna.
Take note: If, from the point of view of the driver, the cable
connection is on the top right or bottom left, the reception will
be strongly reduced.
