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

NOTE:
The handbrake signal must be connected to BRAKE. When the handbrake is
applied, the signal must be connected to ground. According to legal
regulations, the device may only play videos on the main screen when the
handbrake is engaged. The connection cable must therefore not be permanently
connected to ground. While driving, the screen is switched off to avoid
accidents caused by carelessness.

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 analogue and digital radio reception. The enclosed DAB window antenna should only be used if no 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.
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:
4. 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 connect-ed to the mobile Internet, the „LTE“ symbol appears in the status bar at the top right.
- 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*.
After a successful test, install the 4G/LTE dongle in the radio slot or
dashboard.
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.
