Identify Constant Power Source.
With ANY vehicle, r
emove any covering
around the steering column and use a
digital
voltmeter
to identify wiring and
voltage.

PERFORMING THE INSTALLATION
1. Connect Wiring Harness and Secure Device
Connect wiring harness to device. Place
device into an acceptable location and secure
using
self-tapping screws
and 2 or more
tie
wraps
. It is preferable to secure device in a
hidden, secure location away from moving
parts.
Suggested locations:
•
Underneath steering column
•
Underneath passenger side dash
•
Behind radio
•
Behind glove box
•
Discrete trunk locations
2. Poke and Wrap
After finding all relevant wiring sources, strip wiring insulation accordingly to
expose wires, and connect wiring using a standard ‘poke and wrap’ method.
Poke.
Use
butane soldering iron
or
wire cutting
tool
to expose wires. “Poke” wires from wiring
harness through vehicle wiring. See
Wiring Key.
1.
2.
Wrap.
Wrap wires neatly around vehicles wires.

5.
6.
Secure.
Place
insulation tape
around exposed
wires. Use optional
tie wrap
for added security.
3.
Run Wiring Harness to proper Antenna
Location

Antenna types:
Connect wiring to GNX-10 device.
•
If device is installed towards front of vehicle
(i.e.-beneath steering
column or dash)
run wiring harness through vehicle head liner so that
wires are not exposed or easily tampered with.
•
If device is installed towards rear of vehicle,
place wires discretely
under trunk carpeting. Alternatively, antenna may be mounted discretely
close to the rear windshield.
Please note that the antenna should have a relatively clear view of the sky.
Please see diagram below for acceptable locations.
4. Install Antenna
Use standard 2-way radio antenna installation method for internal or glass mount
antenna options. For externally mounted roof mount antennas, please use these
guidelines:
•
Remove head liner where installation will take place.
•
Drill ½ inch hole where roof mount antenna will be mounted.
•
Remove any filings/shavings where antenna will be mounted.
Antenna Locations
Antenna Type
Acceptable Locations
Internal/Flat
Under carpet in rear
trunk
or
front side dash
(above or below dash
panel).
Roof Mount
Roof/top of vehicle
Glass Mount
Rear windshield or front
windshield.
