INSTALLING DELPHI MOBILE
NAVIGATION INTO YOUR VEHICLE
The Delphi Mobile Navigation unit can be mounted three
different ways:
1. Suction onto the windshield
2. To the dash by suction or adhesive tape
3. Screw onto the dash
For detailed information on using options 2 and 3, refer to
pages 12-15 in the Delphi Mobile Navigation User Manual.
Suction mount to windshield
1. Choose a position on the windshield where Delphi
Mobile Navigation will be clearly visible to the driver
without obstructing the driver’s view. Mount low on
windshield, as close to the dash as possible.
2. Thoroughly clean and dry the suction cup and the
mounting area of the windshield.
Warning: To avoid personal injury, follow the safety guidelines and
installation instructions provided so that Delphi Mobile Navigation does
not obstruct the view of the driver, interfere with the operation of any airbags
and safety features in the vehicle, or become airborne in the case of an acci-
dent. Do not attempt to install Delphi Mobile Navigation while driving.
3. Hold the suction cup firmly against the windshield and
press the lever down until it snaps shut.
4. The ball foot should now be
securely fixed on the wind-
shield. Slip the locking nut
loosely over the ball foot,
with the flat side
facing upward.
5. Push the socket clip onto the
ball foot until it clicks. Make
sure the short end of the
socket clip is at the top.
6. Adjust the position of the socket clip so that Delphi
Mobile Navigation will be clearly visible to the driver.

7. Turn the locking nut clockwise
until tight.
8. Snap the Delphi Mobile Navigation unit onto the
socket clip. First, position the two locating tabs
(found on the bottom of the unit) into the
corresponding slots on the socket clip. Then, snap
the top side of Delphi Mobile Navigation onto the clip.
9. Flip the GPS antenna
outward so that the
antenna points horizontally.
10. Plug the 12/24V power
adaptor into the cigarette lighter socket.
11. Plug the other end of the power cable into the socket on
the left side of the Delphi Mobile Navigation unit.
12. Verify that Delphi Mobile Navigation is positioned
such that the GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky.
You are now ready to enter in your destination and start
navigating.
SETTING YOUR DESTINATION
Getting a GPS fix
After you have entered your destination, Delphi Mobile
Navigation uses a “GPS fix” to determine your current
location. Based on the maps in its memory, Delphi Mobile
Navigation calculates the best way from your current
location to the destination you have entered.
In order for the GPS antenna to receive signals, ensure that:
• Delphi Mobile Navigation is outside or in a vehicle
parked outside.
• The GPS antenna is pointing outward horizontally,
with a clear view of the sky.
It initially may take several minutes to get a GPS fix.
Minimize this time by remaining stationary until Delphi
Mobile Navigation has a fix.

To confirm you have a GPS fix, select “Map” from the
main menu. If you have a GPS fix, the map screen will
show your current location. The GPS fix is displayed in
the lower left corner of the screen.
No GPS fix:
The satellite icon is
red. (The strength
indicators are not
displayed.)
GPS fix:
The satellite icon and
strength indicators
are green.

destinations used on a regular basis.

address, intersection, point of interest, settlement,
ZIP code, or recently visited location.
• Program your destination directly on the map screen.
Do not attempt to program while driving.

Back-On-Track
™
feature
Delphi Mobile Navigation is designed to replan your route
automatically if you take a wrong turn or are detoured.
When Delphi Mobile Navigation is recalculating a route,
“Back-On-Track” will appear on the lower bar of the map
screens.
Automatic restart feature
When you arrive at your destination, the route is can-
celed automatically. If you turn Delphi Mobile Navigation
off before reaching your destination (for example, stopping
for gasoline), the destination is saved and your route is
automatically restarted from your current position when
Delphi Mobile Navigation is powered on again.
