Step 3: Connect to the Radio
1.  Connect the antenna plug to the appropriate female 
(receptacle) adapter cable. Connect the Fakra plug 
to the 
In connector on the GTM 10. The Fakra plug 
locks firmly in place.

If the antenna cable has a Fakra connector, no adapter 
cable is needed between the antenna cable and the 
GTM 10 In connector. Connect the Fakra antenna 
cable directly into the In connector of the GTM 10. 
Then use the supplied dual-ended Fakra cable to 
connect the GTM 10 to the radio, as described below.
2.  Connect the Fakra connector of the adapter cable to 
the 
Out connector of the GTM 10. Connect the male 
(plug) adapter cable into the radio receptacle.

  TEST: Turn on the vehicle’s radio. If you can 
hear sound from an FM radio station, you have 
properly connected the GTM 10. 
Step 4: Route the Mini-USB Cable
Route the mini-USB cable from behind the radio on the 
passenger’s side of the vehicle. If possible, thread the 
cable through an existing opening in the glove box or 
trim panel. Thread enough cable through the opening to 
reach the GPS device. Do not cut the mini-USB cable. 
If the mini-USB cable is not long enough to reach the 
GPS device, a 2-meter extension cable is available for 
purchase from the Garmin Web site at 
 or from a Garmin dealer. 
Step 5: Test the GTM 10
Observe the LED: With the GTM 10 connected to the 
GPS device, turn on the GPS device. Service reception 
is indicated by the Green solid light, which may take 
up to five minutes to appear for initial data acquisition.
