BEFORE INSTALLING
Prior to the installation process, thoroughly review and adhere to the following items.
• Use only a Digital or Analog Volt Meter - DO NOT USE TEST LIGHT!
• Check for possible installation locations for the GPS unit prior to permanent
installation.
• ALWAYS LOOK BEFORE DRILLING. Make sure that the installation process
does not cause damage to any vehicle hose, electrical loom, or cause physical
damage to the vehicle.
• Make note of the unit serial number prior to installation.
• Prior to working on any part of the dashboard (instrument cluster, center
console, glove box, etc.), remove the negative and positive terminal from the
battery to deactivate the sensors for the airbags. Refer to the Owner’s Manual
and to a Shop Manual for the vehicle for specic instructions in the temporary
deactivation process.
• DO NOT place objects, including communication equipment, in the area over the
airbag or near the airbag deployment area.
• Refer to the Owners Manual and to a Shop Manual of the vehicle for specic
information related to the electrical wiring, interior disassembly, and any other
mechanical aspects of
the vehicle.

GPS FUNDAMENTALS
There is a minimum of 24 operational GPS satellites at all times. The satellites,
operated by the U.S. Air Force, orbit the earth every 12 hours. Each GPS satellite
transmits data that indicates its location and the current time. All GPS satellites
synchronize operations so that these repeating signals are transmitted at the
same instant. The signals, moving at the speed of light, arrive at a GPS receiver at
slightly different times because some satellites are farther away than others. The
distance to the GPS satellites can be determined by determining the amount of
time it takes for their signals to reach the receiver. When the receiver determines
the distance to at least four GPS satellites, it can by triangulation, calculate its
position in three dimensions.
To ensure the GPS unit receives enough satellite signals at an acceptable signal
strength, it must be mounted so that it has a clear view of the sky. In hidden
locations, such as under the dash, a clear view can be challenging. In these
locations, it is important to keep any metal interference as far as possible from the
top portion of the GPS unit so that the most accurate position can be calculated.
While GPS data collection has improved in ease and speed, some obstacles
remain. Solid or dense objects can block GPS signals. Wet trees with heavy
branches and leaves can mask or attenuate GPS signals. Mountains and buildings
can block satellite transmission. Multipath signals can corrupt GPS data. Multipath
is a reected signal from some nearby objects. The resulting propagation delay
can affect measurement accuracy. GPS electronics advancements have reduced
the multipath threat but GPS eld operators and users should be aware of obvious
multipath environments.

INSTALLING AND MOUNTING
THE GPS UNIT
The best location for a stealth installation is beneath the front dash behind the
radio or instrument cluster. The GPS and GSM antennas are internally located
within the UplinkGPS autoPRO unit. The unit must be mounted with the label
facing the bottom of the vehicle. The GPS antenna is located on the side oppo-
site of the label. The UplinkGPS autoPRO unit will work best if it has a clear view
of the sky and as much of the horizon as possible. Any metallic objects between
the GPS unit and the satellites will degrade the signal and reduce the overall
performance.
The UplinkGPS autoPRO unit can be installed in any type of vehicle. The unit
should be mounted so it will not be exposed to damage from people or objects.
The GPS unit has tie strap slots. Use nylon tie straps to rmly mount the Uplink-
GPS autoPRO unit.

WARNING
The body of the car or any other metal structure can affect the accuracy of the GPS
signals and prevent normal operation. Location of the GPS unit is critical to the
operation.
Installation Safety & Warnings:
• Do not install the unit where it may hinder the function of safety devices such
as an air-bag. Doing so may prevent the air-bag from functioning properly in the
event of an accident.
• The installation and use suggestions contained in this manual are subject to any
restrictions or limitations that may be imposed by applicable law- purchaser
should check applicable law for any restrictions or limitations before installing
and/ or operating this product.
• Failure to follow these safety instructions and warnings may result in personal
injury or death.
12-VDC Power Connection (Red Wire)
Locate the Red wire found on the connector supplied with the UplinkGPS autoPRO
unit. The red wire must be connected to a constant 12 volt source from the vehicle
to power the UplinkGPS autoPRO unit. It’s important that the 12 volt power source
maintains 12 volts at all times.
Ground Connection (Black Wire)
Locate the Black wire found on the connector supplied with the UplinkGPS autoPRO
unit. The black wire must be connected to a solid chassis ground uninhibited by
paint or plastics. It is important that you do not use any oating grounds from the
vehicles electrical system. Always connect the ground directly to the chassis body
and secure with a factory bolt or aftermarket screw.
Switched 12 Volt Connection (White Wire)
Locate the white wire found on the connector supplied with the UplinkGPS auto-
PRO unit. The white wire must be connected to a switched 12 volt source from the
vehicle. This connection is used to monitor the engines on/off state. It’s important
that the switched 12 volt source drops to (0) zero with the ignition off and restores the
switched 12 volts with ignition on.

TESTING THE autoPRO UNIT
Prior to the initial powering of the unit, move the vehicle outside, so that the GPS
receiver can receive signals from the GPS satellites.
Upon initial power up of the UplinkGPS autoPRO unit, observe the LEDs located
on the front side of the unit to determine if the unit is powered on. If the LED is
not ashing, check the power connections. The status of the LEDs is below:
