Information on proper
functioning

To ensure that the TravelPilot functions
properly, it is essential that the system
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 centre.

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

1. Power supply

1.1 Connection to the vehicle ISO
standard plug

To prevent electrical malfunctions in
vehicle ISO plugs, you have to use the

universal ISO adapter cable (Order­No. 7 607 621 126) (see Fig. 1).

The following vehicles with ISO
standard connections can current­ly be fitted with the universal ISO
adapter cable: Alfa Romeo, Citroen,

Fiat, Honda, Lancia, Mercedes, Peu­geot, Porsche, Renault, Skoda.

For other vehicles with vehicle ISO
plugs, use the vehicle-specific ISO
adapter cables, e.g. for Audi, Skoda,
VW with active antennas (Order-No.
7 607 621 129) (see Fig. 2).

1.2 Power connection to vehicle­specific plugs

If the radio connection in your vehicle
was fitted with a 10A fuse at the facto­ry (see operating instructions or the
fuse box in your car.), you will still need
the vehicle-specific adapter cable
(see Fig. 3).

2. Connecting the speakers

2.1 Connecting the speakers to the
ISO standard plug

In vehicles pre-equipped with pas­sive speakers (with 4-ohm speakers)

you can adapt the ISO plug in the
vehicle. If necessary, the ISO cable
(Order-No.7 607 647 093) can be used
for extra length (see Fig. 4). Order spe­cial adapter cables from your dealer
for vehicles pre-equipped with active

speakers.

Installation instructions

3. Installing the antenna

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

3.1 Radio antenna

In pre-equipped vehicles (e.g.: VW,
Seat, 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 a
conventional radio, you will have to
order an antenna supply diplexer (Or­der-No. 7 691 290 202) or the adapter
cable (Order-No. 7 607 621 129) from
your dealer. You will find information
on the installation and connection of
the antenna in the antenna installation
instructions. (see Fig. 5).

3.2 GPS antenna (satellite navigation)

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.

4. Installing the TravelPilot

4.1 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. 5 ).

For vehicles without a DIN compart­ment, Blaupunkt offers vehicle-specif­ic installation kits for 50/52 mm units
for the most popular vehicle models.
Please check the installation condi­tions in your vehicle and use a vehi­cle-specific installation kit if necessary.

4.2 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. 1). For the
installation, you have to push the
bracket into the compartment and de-

termine which fastener tabs you can
bend over with a screwdriver (see
Fig. 6).

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

4.3 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!

4.4 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
