IMPORTANT NOTES
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.
NOTE:
For many vehicle models, a vehicle-specific 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-specific adapter may
also be required. You can obtain information about this on the Internet or
from your specialist dealer.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
INSTALLATION HINTS
Please note the following steps when installing the device:
-
Original radio/navigation system
If available, first remove the original radio/navigation device. Use suitable unlocking tools to pull the device out of the dashboard. Then pull the cable plug from the device and leave it accessible in the radio slot. -
Cabling of the ESX main device
Lay the supplied cable sets and antennas in the vehicle. Please note the information 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-specific 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. -
Functional test
Before you complete the installation, you should perform a function test. Check all functions of the ESX naviceiver including the steering wheel remote control of the vehicle.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GPS antenna
The GPS antenna must be glued horizontally to the front of the dashboard. No
reception is possible if the window is metallized. Choose a flat 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.
Clean the windshield with a suitable cleaning cloth.
NOTE:
In newer vehicles, the original vehicle antenna can usually be used for both
analog and digital radio reception. The enclosed DAB window antenna should
only be used if no fender or roof antenna is available.
External microphone
The external microphone should be positioned 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.
