Nowadays, a car navigator is an extremely useful device for every car enthusiast. The complexity of the installation of the device depends on the specific brand of the system, as well as its type. To install the device without any problems, there are some simple tips to follow.
Necessary
Navigation system, screwdriver, drill
Instructions
Step 1
Think about what kind of navigation system you want to install. There are three main types: handheld, portable and embedded systems. Handheld and portable systems are the easiest to install, but embedded systems usually offer more options. Purchase a system that suits your vehicle and your needs.
Step 2
Make sure there is enough space on the panel to install the navigation system. Care must be taken not to block any other indicators or devices, vents and airbags during installation.
Step 3
Make the necessary measurements according to the parameters and dimensions of the purchased system. If necessary, drill holes for fixing the device in the panel.
Step 4
Install the navigation system on the part of the dashboard that you have chosen. Screw it in with the screws that are usually included in the kit. Make sure that the device sits firmly in place, but at the same time, it can be removed and replaced without too much fuss.
Step 5
Make sure the system is connected to all pins. Some systems operate on battery power and in this case there is no need to connect them to the on-board computer, while others work only when the ignition is on and require the necessary connections.
Step 6
Turn on the system. Make sure everything is functioning properly. Configure the necessary settings for binding the navigation system to your location.
