ESX VN740-DBJ-4G Smart Naviceiver

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 installation.
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 vehicle, a vehicle-specific adapter may also be required. You can obtain information about this on the Internet or from your specialist dealer.

RECOMMENDED TOOLS

Torx T25 screwdriver or bit
Phillips screwdriver
Unlocking tools

INSTALLATION TIPS

The following installation example shows the installation of an ESX Smart Naviceiver in a Fiat Ducato IV model. Due to the many different equipment variants of the Ducato / Boxer / Jumper platform, the installation conditions shown may differ from your vehicle.

**Removing the original radio / navigation device ***

First remove the original radio / navigation device. Use suitable unlocking tools to pull the device out of the radio slot.
Then pull the cable plug from the original device and leave it accessible in the radio slot.

*Remove the storage compartments if no original device is installed.**

Remove the lower storage compartment in the radio slot with pliers.
Then pull the upper storage compartment out of the radio slot.

Installation frame

There are two bars in the radio slot that you have to remove.
Use a suitable cut-off machine for this.
Fasten the enclosed installation frame in the radio slot using the enclosed screws at the bottom first.
Then on top of the installation frame inside the radio slot.
To have better access for the installation, remove the ventilation ducts to the left and right of the radio duct. Use a screwdriver to carefully pry out the ventilation ducts in the top center.

USB port 1 and 4G/LTE dongle

Then open the storage compartment above the glove compartment and loosen the screws on the inner tray.
Remove the inner tray of the storage compartment.
Drill a sufficiently large hole (approx. 19 mm diameter recommended) in the left side wall of the tray.
Now route the connector through the drilled opening. Then put the tub back in the storage compartment and fasten it.

USB port 2

The small cover below the radio slot is suitable for installing the USB port 2.
Drill a sufficiently large hole (Ø 19 mm recommended) in the cover to install the USB port 2.

External microphone and 4G/LTE antenna

To route the external microphone and the 4G/LTE antenna, you must remove the top cover of the speedometer display.
Loosen the two screws on the left and right of the speedometer and then carefully pull the cover out from the back to the top.
Loosen the screws of the speedometer display on both sides and carefully fold it upwards.
Route the connection cables of the external microphone and the 4G / LTE antenna from the radio slot to the speedometer display.
Place the 4G/LTE antenna within the exposed area of the dashboard.
You can place the included external microphone, for example, above the steering column on the speedometer display.

GPS antenna

The upper storage compartment above the radio slot is perfect for installing the GPS antenna.

When installing the GPS antenna in the vehicle, the GPS accuracy is determined by the installation position and the body shape of the vehicle. No reception is possible with a metal-coated window. The accuracy is usually slightly less when the GPS antenna is installed in the vehicle.

Alternatively, if the GPS reception is poor, you can position the GPS antenna on the dashboard below the windshield.

DAB antenna

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 you cannot use a fender or roof antenna. If necessary, active antennas and active antenna splitters from specialist dealers can significantly improve radio reception.

Route the DAB antenna to the windshield on the A-pillar on the passenger side. You can lay the connection cable under the A-pillar and then lead it through the dashboard to the radio slot.

Clean the windshield with a suitable cleaning cloth before sticking the antenna onto the windshield.
Remove the carrier sheet of the black amplifier unit and the foil antenna and stick the antenna to the window.
Glue the copper-colored metal surface of the grounding sheet to a bare metal part of the vehicle.

Interconnection

After you have installed all antennas and components in the vehicle, make sure that their connections are easily accessible and of sufficient length in the radio slot.
Then connect all connections to the ESX Naviceiver as described on pages 6 and 7.
Then carry out a function test. It is best to test some of the basic functions of the Naviceiver.
After the successful function test, build back all parts.
Finally, insert the Naviceiver in the radio slot and make sure that it clicks into place completely.
If you want to remove the Naviceiver from the radio slot, unlock it with a mounting wedge at the bottom of the frame.

SETUP THE 4G/LTE INTERNET CONNECTION

First lay the two 4G/LTE antennas inside the dashboard towards the windshield, one antenna for the left and one for the right.
Ideally, you should stick the antennas to the windshield to ensure optimal reception.
Then insert your SIM card in the 4G/LTE dongle:
- Open the dongle by pushing the flap to the right.
- Now open the metal flap carefully with a suitable tool by pushing the flap up.
- Then insert your SIM card with the contacts facing down.
- Close and lock the metal flap carefully by pushing the flap down.
  
  Compatible SIM cards:
- Micro SIM
- Nano SIM with adapter for Micro SIM
Then turn on the device to test the 4G/LTE connection.
- After the device has started, enter your 4-digit PIN code of the SIM card here. Confirm the entry with the tick.
- After successful entry, the SIM card is unlocked. If the device is successfully connected to the mobile Internet, the „LTE“ symbol appears in the status bar at the top right.
After a successful test, install the 4G/LTE dongle in the radio slot or dashboard.
If the device is turned off, you have to enter the PIN code of the SIM card again after each restart, just like with a smartphone. The SIM card‘s PIN query can be deactivated in standard smartphones. To do this, insert the SIM card in a smartphone and deactivate it accordingly. The steps involved vary depending on the smartphone.
