Information on proper functioning

To ensure that the TravelPilot functions
properly,
be calibrated after it has been complete­ly installed (see Operating instructions
/ Contents / Calibration).

The system determines the distance trav­elled via its connection to the vehicle speed­ometer signal. If there is no speedometer
signal, it will be necessary to have a route
sensor mounted by an authorised custom­er service center.

In this case you will have to order a sen­sor kit (route sensor, magnet strip,
bracket and plug) from your dealer.

1. Installing the antenna

Connect the antenna wiring to the en­closed bracket (see Fig. 5).

1.1 Radio antenna

In pre-equipped vehicles (e.g.: VW,
BMW, Audi), the antenna gets its pow­er supply via the antenna wire (see the
vehicle operating instructions). If you
want to replace the OEM radio with the
TravelPilot DX-R70, you will have to
order compatible amplified antenna
adapter.

1.2 GPS antenna (satellite naviga-

tion)

You will find information on how to in­stall the antenna in the enclosed an­tenna installation instructions.

If the GPS antenna is installed inside
the vehicle, we cannot guarantee that
the system will function correctly.

2. Installing the TravelPilot

2.1 Setting the Gyro

Important: Before the TravelPilot is

inserted, the gyroscope must be put in
a horizontal position (see Fig. 8).

Important: Installation position of the
TravelPilot: right / left: min. -5˚/ max.
+5˚, front to back: min. -10˚ / max. +30˚

The TravelPilot is installed in the
standard car radio compartment pro­vided by the manufacturer (see Fig. 6 ).

Please check the installation condi­tions in your vehicle and use a vehi­cle-specific installation kit if necessary.

2.2 Installing the bracket

The bracket included with this Travel­Pilot allows you to install the system in
vehicles with a DIN car radio compart­ment measuring 182 x 53 x165 mm
and an instrument panel which is 1 to
20 mm in the area where the fastener
tabs are located, (see Fig. 6). For the
installation, you have to push the
bracket into the compartment and de­termine which fastener tabs you can
bend over with a screwdriver (see
Fig. 6a).

Note: Bend over as many of the fas­tener tabs as possible.

2.3 Installing the TravelPilot

Push all of the plugs into the sockets
until they lock into place. Now insert
the navigation system from the front
into the bracket. Apply gentle pressure
to both side edges and push it in until
the spring locks snap into position on
the right and left (you will hear a loud
click).

Important! When you push in the sys­tem, make sure that you do not put any
pressure on the display, the knobs or
the keys!

2.4 Removing the TravelPilot

Insert the handles into the correspond­ing holes on the left and right side of
the front panel and push them in until
you hear a loud click (unlocking the
side spring locks). Use both handles
to carefully pull the TravelPilot out of
the compartment. Now you can pull
out the connection cables by applying
pressure on the side of the plug (see
Fig. 7).

Note: Once the handles have locked
into place, they cannot be removed
until you pull the TravelPilot out of the
compartment.
