It can typically be found at the transmission switch, the main wire harness that runs to the taillights or at the reverse light itself. The navigation unit must know when the vehicle is driving in reverse, so don't overlook this connection. To transmit the state of the parking brake to the unit, connect the wire to the power supply side of the parking brake switch. The most difficult wire to find will be the VSS wire. This is where the Alpine Application Support team enters the picture. Simply call 1 (800) TECH-101 and speak with an application support specialist. We will fax you all of the necessary information about what color the wire is and where to find it. For the after hours or weekend installs, Alpine has a 24 hour Fast Fax line which can send the information with just a few key strokes on a touch tone phone. When calling, please have your dealer account number and the make, model and year of the vehicle available. The Alpine Fast Fax phone number is 1 (800) 978-9655 Caution: Some older vehicles may not have VSS wires. In this case you must install a speed pulse generator onto the speedometer cable. Mounting the GPS antenna The GPS antenna needs to be mounted in a location that is the most "visible" to the GPS satellites. Ideally, mounting the antenna on the top of the roof or on the trunk lid would be the best location. The GPS antenna typically can receive the needed signals when mounted inside of the vehicle, but some precautions must be taken to insure proper performance. First, try and mount the system in a location in the vehicle that allows for the best line-of-site performance. Locations such as the rear package tray or front dash work the best. Secure the antenna with double sided tape or silicone. Carefully route the antenna cable and connect it to the ECU. The cable is matched to its length, so do not shorten or extend. Cautions: Care should be taken in finding the proper mounting location. Some window tinting material, with high metal content like tintanium, can reduce the GPS antenna's reception. Also, some newer vehicles incorporate special heat resistant glass, Oldsmobile Aurora as an example, and will cause GPS reception problems. [. . . ] Attach the cable at several points using the remaining cable clamps. Connections 1 2 Disconnect the battery (­) terminal.
