2.4 About installing the communication module(MCM3)
1. Please remove the screws
and remove the lid.
2. Please fix the communication module
on A-pillar and drive the screws in the
red arrows in the figure below.
Then connect the USB cable.
3. Please attach the lid again and
tighten the screw.
The communication module has a built-in GPS antenna.
The recommended mounting position is the A-pillar, but if it is difficult to install by airbag etc., male both
ends of the dashboard the recommended mounting position.
If any of the above is difficult to install, it may be installed in a place where radio waves of the module can
be secured.
If there is a metal plate in the surroundings, reception sensitivity may decrease.
・Please use the supplied USB cable.
