[. . . ] (Check with your dealer if you are not sure. ) Failure to do so may result in fire, etc. BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts. Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. [. . . ] We will fax you all of the necessary information about what color the wire is and where to find it. For the after hours or weekend installs, Alpine has a 24 hour Fast Fax line which can send the information with just a few key strokes on a touch tone phone. When calling, please have your dealer account number and the make, model and year of the vehicle available. The Alpine Fast Fax phone number is 1 (800) 978-9655 Caution: Some older vehicles may not have VSS wires. In this case you must install a speed pulse generator onto the speedometer cable. Mounting the GPS antenna The GPS antenna needs to be mounted in a location that is the most "visible" to the GPS satellites. Ideally, mounting the antenna on the top of the roof or on the trunk lid would be the best location. The GPS antenna typically can receive the needed signals when mounted inside of the vehicle, but some precautions must be taken to insure proper performance. First, try and mount the system in a location in the vehicle that allows for the best line-of-site performance. Cautions: Care should be taken in finding the proper mounting location. Some window tinting material, with high metal content like tintanium, can reduce the GPS antenna's reception. Also, some newer vehicles incorporate special heat resistant glass, Oldsmobile Aurora as an example, and will cause GPS reception problems. For these types of situations, it is best to install the GPS on the roof or the rear trunk lid, use a small amount of silicone or some double stick tape applied to the bottom of the antenna. This will prevent the magnetic base from moving and possibly scratching the paint on the vehicle. 4 Vehicle Speed Sensor Testing and Verification For Digital Type Speed Sensor: You will need a digital multimeter set to DC Volts at the 30 volt range or on auto-range. For vehicles with PosiTraction, you will need to jack up both of the drive line wheels. Be sure to use jack stands and block the remaining wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" or "RUN" position, but do not start the vehicle. It should show either zero volts (off) or a voltage ranging from 5-12 volts (on). This voltage range will differ depending upon the vehicle, however it will not fluctuate. The voltmeter should change state between zero volts (off) and 5-12 volts (on) or vice-versa within 2-3 rotations of the tire. You have now verified the digital speed pulse. Resources For VSS Information Alpine constantly performs research on a variety of vehicles and is currently compiling a database of VSS wire information. This information is available to you 24 hours a day on our Fast Fax line at 1 (800)978-9655. If calling for first time and you do not know the document number you are requesting, please order document number 02 (Dealer Master Index).
