Becker GPS into 993

[aceparts_com]

Has anyone here installed Becker traffic pro into a 993? If so, where did you mount the GPS receiver? Also, is it necessary to connect the speed sensor wire?

Thanks

Got one in my GT2 so it can be fitted to a 993. Car already had it fitted so not to sure about location of the GPS receiver.

Speed sensor is deffo needed, without it the GPS guidance will be very sluggish.
There is usually a speed pulse in the factory loom behind the standard head unit and nany decent fitter will know where it is.

In my car I just placed the GPS antennae on the dash at the base of the A pillar, but it will work as well on the rear shelf if you prefer.

I fitted a becker pro to my 996 and put the GPS receiver in the alarm mount on top of the dash. Don't know if the 993 has the same alarm mount!! Fortunately the speed signal was provided in the standard connector. However, I did not connect up the direction signal and it makes no difference. (I think that this is only used for dead rekoning calculations if the GPS signal is lost).

Alan, did you manage to get away without having to have a visible antenna mounted externally on either the front or rear screen?

I put it in the corner of the screen. It's really small so is hidden by the tax disc when viewed from outside the car.
If you have any other questions, ask me now before i forget!
