Installation Precautions
WARNING
•When installing the unit to a vehicle
with an airbag system, never install
it in a place where it may affect the
operation of the airbag.
•Do not install this unit in the
following locations:
A location interfering with the
driver’s visual range or operation.
A location where the gear shift or
brake pedal are hindered.
A location where passengers are at
risk.
An unstable location, or where the
system may fall.
CAUTION
•Do not install the system in the
locations described below. This may
cause a fire, accident or electrical
shock:
A location exposed to rain or dust.
An unstable location, or where the
system may fall.
•Do not install this unit in a place
exposed to direct sunlight, heat or a
place where the vent holes or heat
radiation holes are covered.
•When you install the antenna, mount
it in a place where the elements of
the antenna do not protrude beyond
the edge of the front, back, left and
right of the vehicle.
If it comes in contact with
pedestrians, it may cause an
accident.
•Ensure a minimum distance
around the apparatus for sufficient
ventilation.
•Do not place naked flame sources,
such as lighted candles on the
apparatus.
•Use the apparatus only in moderate
climates (not in tropical climates).
Installation Notes
WARNING
•Please note the position of pipes,
tanks and electrical wirings before
installing the unit into the vehicle;
failure in avoiding these may cause
a fire or malfunction.
CAUTION
•Use only the supplied parts.
If unspecified parts are used, they
may cause damage.
•Any holes made in the body of the
vehicle should be sealed with a
silicon adhesive.
If exhaust fumes or water penetrates
into the vehicle, this may cause an
accident.
•Fasten the bolts securely when
installing the unit. If the bolts are
loose an accident or malfunction

Connection Notes
English
•Loom all cables according to the
instruction manual, so as not to
hinder operation.
•Wire the connecting cords/cables
away from high temperature areas.
If the coatings of the cables melt,
it could cause an accident/fire by a
short circuit. Take care when wiring
in the engine compartment.
•When wiring the connecting cables
in a vehicle with an airbag system,
never feed the cables through
a place where it may affect the
operation of the airbag.
An airbag not operating correctly in
an emergency may cause increased
injury.
WARNING
CAUTION
•Verify wires with a digital multi-meter
prior to making any connections.
Many new vehicles use multiplexed
and/or low voltage circuits that can
be damaged if a test light or logic
probe is used.
•Connect cables appropriately. If a
wrong connection is made, this may
cause a fire or accident.
•When passing cables through
the body of the vehicle, use nonconductive grommets.
If the coatings of the cables are
worn out by rubbing, this may cause
an accident, fire or a short circuit.
•After wiring cables, fix them with
insulation tape.
•Be sure to switch off the vehicle
when connecting or disconnecting
cables to/from the unit, otherwise
an electric shock, injury or accident
may occur.

8. INSTALLING THE GPS ANTENNA (NX503E ONLY)
WARNING
•Do not install the GPS antenna in a place where it may interfere with the operation
of the airbag or hinder the driver’s visual range.
•Do not use the navigation system with the GPS antenna cable cut off. The power
line in the cable may be short-circuited.
●The supplied GPS antenna is for installing inside the vehicle. Do not install it outside the
vehicle.
●Install the GPS antenna more than 50 cm away from the main unit, other audio devices
such as CD player, and a radar detector. If it is installed near these devices, GPS
reception may be impaired.
●To improve the GPS signal reception, install the GPS antenna horizontally on a flat plane.
●Do not wax or paint the cover of the GPS antenna. This may reduce the performance of
the GPS antenna.
●Install the GPS antenna at least 10 cm away from the windshield.
●Wipe off the dirt of the mounting surface before installing the GPS antenna.
●Stick the double-sided tape to the bottom face of the GPS antenna.
●Mount the GPS antenna.
Stick it surely on a flat plane of the passenger-side dashboard where GPS signal
interruption is minimized.
●Wire the GPS antenna cable.
Fasten the cable using the Cable holders.
