Recommended Installation Practices
Review this installation manual to become familiar with all installation procedures and electrical wiring
requirements prior to starting the installation. This installation guide has been prepared to provide you with
details necessary to complete the TM470 installation.
Use of proper tools and testing equipment is required. Never use a grounding style test light. Use only a
Digital Multi Meter (DMM) to test wires in the vehicle. It is strongly recommended that one of the battery post
cables is disconnected or battery disconnect switch is engaged prior to making electrical connections.
The recommended method of electrical connections for the TM470 is “Poke and Wrap”. “Poke and Wrap”
is described in detail later in this guide. It is critical to ensure that all electrical connections are properly
insulated with quality electrical tape. Do not use butt connectors, crimp connectors or any other means to
connect wires. Failing to ensure proper connections may result in warranty being voided and damage to the
TM470 and/or the vehicle.
Ensure that all wiring is protected from heat sources and sharp metal edges and is routed in such
manner that it will not get damaged or pinched when vehicle components and trim are reinstalled. Run new
wiring along factory harnesses and secure with quality cable zip-ties. Be sure to leave a “service loop” near the
TM470, enough slack in the wiring to allow working room and strain relief.
The TM470 is NOT waterproof, never mount the TM470 in the engine compartment. When mounting the
TM470, determine best possible location under the dash and make sure that the TM470 will be securely attached
using self-tapping screws or cable zip-ties. Do not force or jam the TM470 into tight places instead of mounting
it. When mounting the TM470, do not obstruct any serviceable areas such as fuseboxes, etc. The TM470 and its
wiring must be mounted away from any moving parts such as brake, gas, and clutch pedals and linkages.
Follow all safety guidelines outlined in this guide, the applicable TM470 Installation Manual as well as
those set forth by industry and government.

Pre-Installation Vehicle Inspection
8
A complete inspection of the vehicle and its major components that could be effected by the installation on the GPS system should be
inspected and documented. This should be done for the benefit of the customer as well as the installer. Failure to complete and document a
vehicle inspection opens the installer up to damage claims that may not be related to the installation they have performed.
Recommended inspection points should include but are not limited to –
•Headlamps
•Turn signals
•Radio
•Dome light
•HVAC system
•Windshield wipers
•Dash warning lights (ABS, Check engine, Tire monitor, etc.)
•Vehicle interior (Headliner, seats, dash, etc.)
•Vehicle exterior (Obvious dents, scratches, and other damage)
•Start the vehicle
•The ability for the vehicle to be safely started and run is a requirement to
complete the installation of the GPS system. If the vehicle cannot be safely started
and run it is recommended the vehicle be rescheduled for installation so customer
can get the current issue preventing it from starting corrected.
If you find any issues with the vehicle during this inspection it is recommended that the installer stop the
installation and contact the designated POC. It is recommended that they agree there is an existing issue with
the vehicle and acknowledge this be signing installers installation paperwork.

TM470V6 VLU placement
•All equipment and wiring must be installed in a manner that will conceal its location.
•Installation must be in a dry location with minimal exposure to dust ,moisture ,heat and unnecessary vibration.
•It is always best to mount the unit to a flat surface; it should not be mounted on curves, dips or humps since this can degrade the security of the
unit.
•Mount the unit to the chassis of the vehicle utilizing the mounting tabs. Always secure the unit with screws or zip-ties.
•Always check behind the place where any screws will penetrate to make sure you are not going to drill into a fuel or brake line, wiring harness,
etc.
•Be careful when mounting touching an existing factory harness because vibration may cause an electrical short. Great care must be taken to
prevent chaffing.
•Mount the unit so it will not cause any physical interference with the normal operation of movable equipment in the vehicle such as seats,
pedals, hinges, air conditioning vents, etc.
•Never mount any component to vehicle air lines. Damage to the air lines will cause a catastrophic failure disabling the use of the vehicle.
