Antenna placement and routing the GPS Antenna Wire Place the GPS antenna in the middle of your dashboard down where it meets the windshield (I guess coupes could mount it on the roof?).  Run the GPS wire along the windshield to the passenger side A pillar. Then you can use the same procedure outlined in the Book Of Ungo to run the GPS antenna wire back to the head unit to plug it in. Basically that means you pull out the side and center vents (some Z3 vents also have a screw, mine just pulled right out easily)   Drop the wire down behind the corner of the dash by the A pillar into the side vent- as the blue demonstration wire is here:  Again follow the blue demonstration wire to get from the passenger side of the dash ....  ...to the center vent  And here the orange demonstration wire shows you how you can reach up under the flap to grab the GPS antenna wire and plug into the back of the Traffic Pro. 
Note: If you dont mind a little black tail extending from your GPS antenna to your vent, you could skip all this and just put the GPS antenna down by the windshield, pull out the center vent as above, pull the GPS antenna cord into through the center vent, plug it into the back of the Traffic Pro and that's done. There's been much talk about GPS antenna placement. Ron Styagr's GPS antenna placement test (see FAQ) showed that putting the GPS antenna anywhere under the dash would lose a satellite, and apparently there is a metal plate on ///MZ3s that interferes even more with satellite reception. 8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Page 1- What are you installing~~ Page 2- Parts Needed ~~ Page 3- What's in the Box? ~~ Page 4- Mounting ~~ Page 5- Plug It In ~~ Page 6- Anti-Theft/Finger in the Hole ~~ Page 7- Wiring 2 Wires ~~ Page 8- GPS Antenna Placement and Routing the GPS Antenna Wire ~~ Page 9- After it's Connected ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Traffic Pro DIY Owner Install Instructions |
