1) Which connections are necessary for the navigation system?
GPS Antenna (supplied as standard equipment) Speed signal (from the speedometer) Reverse signal.

2) Where can the GPS antenna be positioned?
TGPS antenna should be mounted n top of the dashboard in clear view of the windshield.

3) How long is the connection cable for the GPS antenna?
A GPS antenna with a 2.2-yard (2-meter) cable is supplied with the standard equipment.

4) What installation angle is permitted for the Harman Traffic Pro?
Maximum 35.°

5) Is it possible to use the normal radio antenna for GPS reception instead of the supplied GPS antenna?
No, a special antenna is needed for GPS reception in all cases.

6) Can a different GPS antenna be used?
Combi-antennas (GPS, GSM, radio) are available on the market — note connection plugs.

7) Can navigation be started immediately after installation?
After you have connected the device, the vehicle must be placed out in the open so that satellite reception is ensured. With the navigation system switched on and the CD-ROM inserted, wait until the information "Calibration ride can start" appears in the display (this may take 10—30 minutes). Then, drive the vehicle on digitized roads until the address input mode appears in the display (for example, distance 328—547 yards [300—500 meters]). See also Calibration Guide.

TIP: During the calibration run, drive in a town with digitized roads and frequent curves and junctions: this will enable the system to recognize its location and the vehicle properties more quickly.

8) Can the device, after having been installed, be reinstalled without difficulty into a new vehicle?
Yes. Because the device contains all the necessary components in the DIN housing (except the GPS antenna), removal and reinstallation are extremely easy.

9) Does the system also function in older vehicles?
This system will function in most vehicles that provide an electronic speed signal.

1) How is data inputted?
You can input data using the right-hand rotary control or by selecting from a list. These input methods enable you to input the required data very quickly.

2) Are there input aids?
Yes, a few examples: As soon as you have entered the first letters of the location, a selection is made in the database. This limits all the possible location names to these letters. You can have all of these indicated in the display (sequentially) at the push of a button. As soon as the sequence of letters clearly indicates a place name in the database, it is given in the display and you have the opportunity to confirm this by pressing a button. The destination input "last 50 entered" can be called up if required. 50 Destinations can be stored.

3) How long does it take to calculate the route?
On average, a few seconds.

4) Does the navigation system impair the operation of the radio or the CD player?
No. As soon as you have finished entering the destination and the route has been calculated, you can operate the car radio as usual.

5) Can you use the navigation system without having to look at the LCD display?
Yes. The navigation concept is designed so that the driver is not forced to look at the display. Instructions via the loudspeakers inform the driver in detail about the current route, without unnecessary distraction.

6) In addition to the audible navigation instructions, are there visual instructions?
Yes. However, these instructions (current road, next road, direction arrow) only serve as a backup to the audible instructions.

7) Can the volume of the navigation announcement, the traffic announcement and the music be controlled separately?
Yes. Whenever the respective announcement is being made, you can adjust the volume during the announcement.

8) Can the navigation system be used with Traffic Program active (TP on) in the background without listening to music?
Yes.

9) What priorities are given to the announcements?
Navigation announcement takes priority over telephone mute and audio.

10) Can different languages be selected for the navigation announcements?
Yes. Currently, German, French, English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish or Danish can be chosen.

11) Can different voices be chosen?
Yes, a male or female voice can be selected.

12) Can house numbers be entered?
Yes, provided they are in the database.

CD-ROM – Digital Road Map

2) Is there a route planner?
Yes. Because you can save 50 destinations, you have the option of calling up all destinations in the relevant sequence. In addition, you can enter a stopover ("STOP") or — if possible — direct the route via a freely selectable location ("VIA").

3) How can I get updated data?
An updated CD-ROM is published once each year.

4) Will additional data follow on the CDs?
Yes, we will continually update the software and expand the data density for each new CD.

5) Is the CD compatible with CDs for other navigation systems?
No. Each Navigation CD contains the operating software for its device only; therefore, the CDs are not interchangeable.

NAVIGATION

1) Which units help the system to determine the location?
GPS antenna (+ receiver) CD-ROM data Gyroscope (see "Specialist Terms") Speedometer signal

2) How does the system determine the location?
The device compares the GPS data with the data from the speedometer signal/gyroscope and the data on the CD.

3) How does the system determine the route?
The navigation system calculates either a fast or a short route. In addition, the attributes with/without motorway/ferry/toll can be set.

4) How accurate is navigation using the TrafficPro navigation system?
The instructions are precise according to the requirements and the situation, and the system has been optimally geared to these features. Instructions to turn are always given in good time.

5) Does the device always know where it is, even if it is switched off?
Yes. After the calibration phase, the system always knows where it is, even when switched off.

6) Do others know where I am?
No. The GPS signal is exclusively unidirectional (as are, for example, radio signals).

7) What is the orientation reliability like in multistory car parks?
If you are in a nondigitized multistory car park, the system will only inform you that you are outside the digital road network and will indicate the compass direction or linear distance to the destination. As soon as you are on the road again, and the system has automatically made appropriate adjustments, you can continue following your route as usual. If the multistory car park is known, the following instruction is given: "on leaving…"

8) Does the CD always have to be left in the drive?
No. After the system has loaded the necessary data from the CD into the working memory, the CD can be removed from the drive. The system can then be used like a CD radio.

9) Is there always enough space in the memory?
One day’s journey (621-1/2 miles [1000 kilometers]) can readily be downloaded into the working memory. The shorter the route, the larger the relative corridor. "Corridor" is the term for the space for detours to the right and left of the route.

10) What happens if you leave the corridor?
An instruction requests the driver to insert the navigation CD, if it is not in the device.

11) What happens if the driver does not follow a driving recommendation?
As soon as an instruction has been ignored, the system immediately calculates a new route.

12) What happens if you leave the digital road network?
The navigation system requests you to follow the compass arrow. During this time, the system always indicates the direction towards the destination.

13) When are navigation announcements made and how often?
The announcements are always made in good time. If you are on a motorway, the system will inform you of the exit earlier than in a town. The driver will always be given the necessary time either to follow the announcement or to make his or her own decision. The announcements come in a number of stages (e.g., "Attention, prepare to…"/"and now…").

14) What happens if the driver has failed to catch the navigation announcement?
The user has the opportunity to have the current announcement repeated as often as required (see "left rotary control" in the Operating Guide)

15) What happens to the navigation announcements if the radio or CD is playing in the foreground and the volume is adjusted?
Whenever an announcement is being made, the volume of the music being played is turned down and the navigation announcement cuts in so that it can be heard clearly.

16) On which loudspeakers are announcements heard?
On all the connected speakers.

17) What do the navigation announcements sound like, for example?
"Please keep to the right."
"Please keep to the right in 547 yards (500 meters)."
"Please turn to the right in 328 yards (300 meters)."
"Please turn left into the next road."
"Please turn left into the second road."
"If possible please turn around."
"Please follow the road for 5/8 of a mile (one kilometer)."
"Attention, please prepare to turn left."
"Now turn left."

18) What announcements does the system make if two turnings follow in close succession?
"Please take first road on the left and then turn right immediately!" is one example.

19) What announcements does the system make at roundabouts?
It might say, "In the roundabout, please take the 3^rd road on the right" and then "Please turn right now."

20) Does changing tires for summer/winter have any effect?
No, because the TrafficPro Navigation System constantly recalibrates itself.

21) Can other information also be called up?
Yes, the following data can be called up (however, order may differ): Name of the current road Name of the next road, in a town Destination town and road Miles still to be covered GPS data (for determining the location) ETA Route Selected mode Traffic-jam function Stopover.

22) Can I listen to a music CD while I am navigating?
Yes, due to the 8mb of RAM built into TrafficPro, the navigation CD can be removed and your favorite music CD can be played while navigating.

23) If I take a wrong turn, how fast will TrafficPro re-route me?
Due to the lightning fast access of navigation data from the 8mb RAM on-board TrafficPro, you will be routed almost instantly.

GENERAL

1) In future, will the digital traffic program (Traffic Message Channel) be incorporated?
The device is designed for TMC. If the digital traffic program is made available for our navigation system, you can purchase this feature with a new CD (integrated as of CD version 4.0).

2) Can the system be integrated into the vehicle data bus system?
No.

3) Does the system test itself?
Yes. TrafficPro automatically performs numerous diagnoses and signals hardware faults, should any occur.

4) How large is the GPS antenna?
L x W x H: 2″ x 2″ x .8″ (52mm x 52mm x 20mm)

5) Can the device be connected to sound systems?
Yes.

6) Can the same route be followed back?
Not directly. The device calculates every route anew; however, it is highly likely that the route back will be the same as the original, unless a better route is available due to a more advantageous traffic situation.

7) Can I add satellite radio to TrafficPro?
There are a number of companies making aftermarket satellite radio receivers that can be connected to TrafficPro using the aux input. See your TrafficPro retailer for details. (Aux input harness sold separately.)

8) How do I program the TrafficPro for Demo Mode?
The demo mode is intended for demonstration purposes. A preprogrammed location will serve as the starting point for navigation.

• Power up unit and key in Security Code.
• Insert Navigation CD
• Press "NAV"
• Press multi-function keys 3 and 5 together
• Rotate right knob and select "DEMO MODE"
• Press "OK" for DEMO MODE "ON"
• Press and hold "OK" to save
• Press "NAV" button twice and go to the main menu
• Enter destination
• Press "OK"
  

SPECIALIST TERMS

GPS is a satellite navigation system developed by the U.S. Department of Defense Functions on the earth’s entire surface Typical accuracy approximately 33—55 yards (30—50 meters) 24 Satellites at a height of 12-1/2 miles (20 kilometers) Selective availability 3 Satellites are needed to calculate a 2-dimensional position.

GPS: GPS is understood to mean the satellite-assisted (definitive) determination of a location on the earth. In total, 24 satellites at an altitude of approximately 12-1/2 miles (20 kilometers) are available, with at least four being necessary to determine the location correctly. The satellites circle the earth once every 12 hours in six different orbits. They are owned by the U.S. Department of Defense (cost approximately 12 thousand million dollars) and were originally used only for military purposes. Based on the time each individual signal needs to reach the receiver, it is possible to determine the distance from the satellite and, thus, through a total of four signals, a location on the earth’s surface can be determined. In order to measure the distance from the earth, the signal requires a fourth satellite. In principle, only three signals are necessary, but the TrafficPro navigation system also evaluates the fourth.

Gyroscope: (Greek: gyros = circle, skopein = view, look at) This component is used to determine the vehicle’s rotational movement. Thanks to the gyroscope, the system is able to ensure reliable location determination, even if the GPS connection is not available (tunnel), based on the movements of the vehicle and simultaneous comparison with the data on the CD-ROM. The system can thus determine, for example, the definitive position on the road or intersection if there is a curve to the right. Indispensable in air and space travel.
