Subject: Traffic Pro radio navigation installation photos Author: DavidC (moderator) : member since December, 2003 : 12931 posts Posted on: 2006-03-16 14:53:33

Our Traffic Pro 4771 group buy fell through, so I purchased a used unit from an e36 owner on another board. The installation was smooth and easy. I just removed the factory radio and lifted the vent cover on top of the dash (two screws at the front), installed the GPS antenna under the grill, snaked the wire down to the radio opening, attached the wiring harness, GPS antenna lead and the AM/FM antenna.

The navigation voice has several languages and male and female voices. Since the car is named "Pepe", my wife selected the British male voice. Personally, I'd prefer a Cheech Marin accent

Here are a few photos.


The finished installation.


You can see the GPS antenna in the top right corner of the grill cutout area in the dash. I used double-side foam tape to secure it.
