Notes on installation of GPS antenna
The GPS antenna should be installed only in a vertical position with a maximum deviation of 10° from
horizontal.
The GPS antenna should always have a free view of the sky. Thermal insulated windows can significantly
reduce the function of the GPS antenna.
When installing the GPS antenna, always ensure that the arched surface points away from the vehicle.
Changing the installation location inside of the vehicle after the system is put into operation has no effect on the
GPS reception.
NOTES ON RADIO CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENT - AH82.61-P-0001-05A
Model 163
The pin assignment in the radio connector has been changed on vehicles as of 07.99 (model year 2000)

Check pin assignment
If the pin assignment is the same as listed in the table above, it is not necessary to install the adapter
wiring harness and CAN bus adapter when installing the Audio 30 APS navigation system.
