Installing the CalAmp 42xx
Step 4: Remove the lower passenger panel
- Go to/ start the removal on the passenger side of the vehicle.
- Remove the lower panel to the right of center of the dash (see green area in image below).
- Remove the two 10mm bolts (see red areas in image above).
- Remove the 10mm bolt from the lower right corner of the dash near the door jamb.
- Locate the plastic rivet on the side of the panel near the door hinge.
Press in on the center of the rivet to release it.
Pull the rivet out of its hole. - Locate and remove the screws in the storage tray under the glove box (see blue areas in image below).
- Remove the lower panel as shown in the image below.
Step 5: Install the antenna
- Remove the glove box (see blue area in image below).
- Install the antenna directly under the dash panel (see yellow area in image below).
- Route the cable behind the vent down to the bracket where the device is to be installed (see green area in image below).
Step 6: Fit the installation bracket
- Locate and remove the buzzer (see yellow arrow in image below).
Retain the 10mm bolt for reassembly. - Remove the buzzer from its bracket (see orange arrow in image below).
- Secure the buzzer bracket to the Telogis mounting (see red area and arrow in image below).
- Using the 10mm bolt removed at point 1 above, along with the included 10mm nut (see yellow area/ arrow in images below), install the buzzer as shown in image on right below.
The buzzer orientation on the bracket has changed (see red arrow in image above). - Locate the support from which the buzzer was removed (see yellow arrow in image below).
- Install the mounting bracket from the kit using the supplied 10mm bolts (see yellow arrow in image below. The top bolt is not visible in the image because it is behind a module.)
The installation bracket is labeled to identify its orientation. - Plug in the buzzer harness (see pink area in image above).
Step 7: Wire the device
- Locate the 10 pin white harness (it is above the fitted installation bracket, see pink area in image below), and plug the DB15 cable into it.
- Screw the DB15 cable into the device using a small flathead screwdriver.
Step 8: Install the device into the cradle
- Confirm the two device LEDs are solid (see green and orange arrows in image below).
- Install the device into the cradle, plug-up and into the cradle top first (see blue arrow in image below).
There is a module close to the device (see yellow arrows in image above). Trying to install the device bottom-first risks breaking the device's DB15 connection, causing failure. - Coil and secure any loose cabling using zip ties.
Ensure cabling will not interfere with the driver or normal operation of the vehicle.
Step 9: Verify operation
The two device LEDs (Amber for cellular network, green for GPS) must be solid before you verify operation of the device.
