2. Installation
2.1 Planning the Installation
2.1.1 Overview
To ensure trouble-free, efficient installation, start by inspecting the vehicle to determine the optimum
position for G3 and its antennas as well as the routing of all associated cabling and wiring.
position for G3 and its antennas as well as the routing of all associated cabling and wiring.
2.1.2 Location
Often, installations in cars are done in the trunk, underneath the back window ledge or on the trunk floor.
In vans and small trucks, it is usually done in the back of the vehicle. In large vehicles, it is often done in
the front cabin.

Be sure to place the G3
unit in such a way that:
•
The LEDs can be seen (as an aid in troubleshooting)
•
Access to the antenna connectors is possible without removing the unit
•
Sufficient air may flow around the unit to provide adequate cooling
G3 is not fully waterproof, therefore it should be mounted sufficiently away from an opened trunk lid or
opened tailgate, windows or doors to avoid exposure to rain and/or snow. It also minimizes the chance
that material can be accidentally thrown on the unit or of someone bumping against it.

2.1.3 Cable
Path
Try to route the cables away from locations where they would be exposed to heat (exhaust pipes, muf-
flers, tailpipes, etc.), battery acid, sharp edges, mechanical damage or where they would be a nuisance to
automobile mechanics, the driver or the passengers.

Keep wiring away from automotive computer modules, other electronic modules and ignition circuits to
help prevent interference between these components and radio equipment.

Try using existing holes in firewall and trunk wall and the channels above and below or beneath the
doors, channels through doors and window columns that are convenient to run cables and wires.
Whenever possible, install conduit in which to run the cables.
