Step by Step inStructionS
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. HD Antenna
Place the HD 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 US and Canadian HD
Antenna optimized installation orientation.
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.
