Ships With: GPS Antenna with 9.8 ft long cable and male SMA connector, 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness – for LED Lit Gauges and Clocks
Mount the Gauge: Locate a suitable 4.25-inch diameter opening in your vehicle's dashboard or instrument panel. Insert the Speedhut GPS Speedometer into the opening and secure it using the spin-lock ring from the back of the gauge.
Connect Power: Connect the red wire from the included 3 ft Power & Lighting Harness to a 12V positive power source in your vehicle. Connect the black wire to a suitable ground.
Mount the GPS Antenna: Choose a location for the GPS antenna that has a clear line of sight to the sky. This is crucial for optimal GPS signal reception. Common locations include the dashboard top, rear deck, or roof. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and secure the antenna.
Connect the Antenna: Connect the male SMA connector on the GPS antenna cable to the corresponding connector on the back of the Speedhut GPS Speedometer.
Optional Lighting Connection: If your gauge features LED lighting, connect the additional wires in the Power & Lighting Harness according to the instructions provided for your specific lighting configuration (e.g., to a headlight or dimmer circuit).
Start Your Vehicle: Once all connections are secure, start your vehicle. The speedometer will acquire a GPS signal, which may take a few moments initially. Once a signal is established, the gauge will begin displaying your vehicle's speed accurately.
BENEFITS OF USING THE SPEEDHUT 4-1/2" 160 MPH GPS SPEEDOMETER (R45-S3-LEG):
