VIP Computer The VIP Computer must be placed in a humidity-free location such as in or under the dashboard. • Mount the VIP Computer with tie-wraps or screws. • note: Connect one end of the USB Cable to the VIP Computer and make sure the other end remains easily accessible, for instance lying free in the glove box. 2. Extension Box Place the Extension Box horizontally (as depicted) under the bonnet, in a reasonably humidity-free location. • Connect the module to the FRONT port of the VIP Computer. Do not yet close the lid of the Extension Box. 3. MPHD Antenna Place the MPHD Antenna at the front of the car behind the bumber or spoiler. Preferably behind flat and smooth plastic, and certainly not behind metal. • The large, smooth side that has no imprints, must face straight forward in the driving direction, with the cable coming out on the left or right side, as depicted. • Connect it to any port of the Extension Box. The Antenna must never be connected to the Laser Analyzer Box: this can cause a short-circuit. • For maximum performance, please make sure the antenna receives sufficient airflow for cooling. • Please see reverse side of this sheet for MultaRadar CD optimized installation. 4. Lasers Connect the Lasers to the Laser Analyzer Box port 1, 2, 3 or 4 (see Laser Analyzer Box). The Lasers need an unobstructed ‘view’ outwards.

Closing the Extension Box and Laser Analyzer Box After all the cables have been connected, it is important to close the boxes (see steps 2 and 5) in a water resistant manner. Place the cables in the holes of the opposite facing ‘rubber seals’ (see example). This prevents moisture from getting into the box. Next, place the rubber seals with the now inserted cables into the slot, as depicted in the example on the left. Make sure the rubbers are pushed down all the way using silicone spray to facilitate this. Put the lid back on so that it is tight and secure.

The multi poled MPHD Antenna has been designed for horizontal installation. Those drivers who wish to have optimized reception of MultaRadar CD signals can choose to have the antenna mounted diagonally, as explained in the overview below. 1. Diagonally place the antenna behind the bumper or spoiler, with the smooth surface facing forward. 2. Make sure the upper and lower corners of the antenna are intersected by the same, imaginary, vertical line. 3. From the point of view of the driver, the cable connection must be on the bottom right of the antenna. Take note: If, from the point of view of the driver, the cable connection is on the top right or bottom left, the reception will be strongly reduced. multaradar cd optimized installation 2 3 Default antenna placement
