- SG9665GC V2
I just finished installing my SG9665GC V2 this afternoon. I didn't have a chance to road test it out yet, but I noticed I have a "No GPS" message on the screen.
For now I did not permanently attach the GPS to the windshield. I used some painter's tape to hold it against the glass in case I need to move it. Tomorrow, I'll drive into work. This will be the test. Hopefully I'll get a signal lock and then I will be able to permanently mount the GPS where it is.
Questions:
1) Some of the other threads talked about "flipping" the GPS. What is this? How o I know if I need to flip? How is it done (by taking GPS apart as I saw in another thread)?
The manual says "the GPS should be mounted with the adhesive side down so that the antenna is oriented correctly". The adhesive is on the "back" of the GPS (obviously the "glass side").
2) I don't know what is meant by "adhesive side down". I didn't see any sort of arrow. Please explain, or better yet, or provide a picture of what "down" is.
In my case I have the GPS mounted in the upper right corner of the windshield. Since the cable is tucked into the headliner, the GPS module is mounted with cable on the top. There are no black dots or paint/tint at the top of my windshield where the GPS is located.
3) Which way does the GPS cable need to face - up or down? Does it matter?
Thanks
