STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. VIP Computer
The VIP Computer must be placed in a dry and protected
location such as in or under the dashboard.
• Mount the VIP Computer with tie-wraps.
• 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
hood, in a moisture free location.
• Connect the Extension Box to port 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 of the
VIP Computer.
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 of the bottom, as depicted.
• Connect the cable to the Extension Box.
• 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 Center: Laser Receiver to
a Receiver port, Laser Transmitter (square or fiber) to a
Transmitter port.
Attention: The Laser Transmitter square
has a ‘horizon’ icon embossed on the front
lens indicating this side must be on the
bottom.
To ensure optimal laser functionality, please refer to the exact
Laser installation instructions in the provided Stinger Laser
Analyzer Installation Manual. Download available at:
www.stinger.com/manuals
5. Laser Center
Place the Laser Center under the dashboard.
• Use the Bridge Cable to attach the Computer Center to the
Laser Center: connect one end of the cable to port 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 or 6 of the VIP Computer and the other end to the C1-port
on the Laser Center.
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 hood.
• 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. Power plug
• Connect the black wire to a ‘clean’ metal ground-point of the
car chassis, or directly to the negative pole of the car battery
• Connect the orange wire to the ignition-actuated 13.8V
battery power (+15).
• Connect the red wire directly to the (continuous) 13.8V
battery power (+30).
10. Closing the Extension Box
After all the cables have been connected, it is important to
close the box (see steps 2) 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.

with the smooth surface facing forward.
See front side of this installation manual (under 3.) for instructions.
2. From the point of view of the driver, the cable connection must
be on the bottom right of the antenna.
