Safety information
Because of the integrated gyro and CD-ROM drive, it is essential that the basic navigation unit be installed in a horizontal
position.
Installation and connection regulations
You must disconnect the negative terminal of the battery during the installation and connection of the equipment.
Warning!
You must also comply with all safety instructions pro-
vided by the vehicle manufacturer (alarm system, vehicle immobiliser, airbag)!
Before drilling holes for the mounting brackets or wiring, make sure that you will not damage any existing
wiring or vehicle parts (such as the petrol tank or fuel
lines).
Use cable grommets on sharp-edged holes.
Lay all wiring far enough away from the wiring harness
to prevent interference. The + supply cable must be fitted with a fuse at a maximum of 30 cm from the battery
to protect the vehicle battery and the + supply cable in
the event of a short circuit.
The navigation unit is suitable for vehicles with:
• 12 volt battery
• Negative pole on the chassis
Equipment fuses: 5 A wiring fuse
5 A equipment fuse
Product information
The TravelPilot RGS 08 navigation system is an autonomous
system equipped with an integrated gyro. Following the entry
and activation of a destination, the system provides visual driving recommendations well in advance of any turn-off points in
the form of pictograms on a 5" colour monitor and spoken driving information over a separate speaker, thus guiding the
motorist from his/her starting point to a selected destination
via the best available route.
The scope of the functions provided is determined in the specifications of the CD-ROM used. The CD-ROM for individual
countries + operating manual are available separately.
Notes on the operation of the equipment
To ensure the trouble-free operation of the navigation system,
a distance calibration must be performed after the equipment
has been installed.
The service software integrated into the basic navigation unit
allows you to start up the navigation system and to calibrate
the wheel sensor using the SERVICE MENU following the installation of the unit or during later servicing. All that is required is a straight stretch of road of at least 100 m in length. The
software also provides additional service functions for analysing any malfunctions in the navigation system.
The system determines the distance travelled via a connection
to the vehicle’s speedometer signal. If there is no speedometer signal available, it will be necessary to have a wheel sensor
mounted by an authorised customer service agent.
The wheel sensor scans a magnetic strip which is glued to the
wheel rim and delivers information on the distance travelled by
the wheel. Due to automatic length adaptation, the magnetic
strip must be applied to the non-driven left-hand wheel.
The system recognises driving forwards and backwards by
evaluating the back-up signal (forwards = 0 volts, backwards =
12 volts) received via the connection contact (RFLS) provided
for that purpose.

Installing the navigation unit
Mounting location for the navigation unit
The navigation unit need not be installed at any particular location.
When choosing the mounting location for the navigation unit,
you must make sure that the unit is screwed firmly to the chassis in a horizontal position (you must be able to read the writing on the flap) while observing the following permissible angles of installation:
Position: right/left min. -5˚ / max. +5˚
sloping towards the rearmin. 0˚ / max. +5˚
A fan has been integrated into the basic navigation unit to provide cooling in the event that it overheats. The air vents around
the unit must remain uncovered to ensure adequate air circulation. Make sure that there is enough room to insert the navigation CD into the CD drive. Use the enclosed installation material in order to mount the navigation unit. See Fig. 1
Positive connection
The navigation unit must be connected to permanent plus 12 V
and positive via the ignition.
Lay the permanent plus 12 V cable (red) to the battery (do not
lay the wiring directly by the cable harnesses). Attach the fuse
holder to protect the positive cable a maximum of 30 cm
from the vehicle battery and connect it to the positive terminal on the battery (if necessary, drill a hole through the
splashboard and use cable grommets accordingly). Connect
the positive switching cable (black) with the fuse holder at terminal 15 (+ switched via ignition) behind the fuse.
In vehicles in which it is not possible to connect the cable in
the fuse box, use the enclosed fuse holder to connect the cable directly to terminal 15 at the ignition.
Negative connection
Screw the negative cable (brown) directly onto the chassis.
Scratch the contact point for the ground down to the bare metal and grease it with anti-seize graphite petroleum (important
for good grounding).
Connecting the GPS antenna
Safety instructions
Mount the antenna only on a metal roof with magnetic
properties (not suitable for aluminium). Do not mount
the antenna on roofs covered with leather or synthetic
materials.
When mounted on a roof (held only by a magnet), the

antenna must not be exposed to temperatures of less
than -20
If necessary, use protective sheathing to protect the antenna
cable from being pinched.
The adherent surface of the antenna must be free of dirt, snow,
ice, etc.
You must not lengthen, shorten or put a kink in the antenna
cable. Do not remove the plug during the installation.
If the antenna is painted the same colour as the vehicle, this
may have an adverse effect on the reception, especially if paints
containing a high percentage of metal are used. We assume
no guarantee that the antenna will operate properly after it has
been painted.
On notchback vehicles, attach the antenna to the boot lid using
the mounting brackets. Depending on the thickness of the metal,
use the corresponding headless screws, Fig. 2.
On estate and hatchback cars, affix the antenna to the roof
with its magnetic foot, Fig. 3.
For a roof mount, remove the mounting brackets. Use the adhesive strips enclosed to cover the screw holes, Fig. 4.
For estate and hatchback cars, lay the antenna cable along
the rain gutter downwards and into the interior of the vehicle.
Any obstacles near the antenna, such as roof racks or bicycle
carriers, may have an adverse effect on or even obstruct satellite reception.
Route the antenna cable into the interior of the vehicle and
connect the plug on the antenna cable with the antenna jack
on the basic unit.
It is advisable to remove the antenna from the roof when driving through a car wash.
If the GPS antenna is mounted inside the vehicle, there is no
guarantee that the system will function correctly.
