Installation Instructions for Mobile Phones and Radio Equipment

1. General

Note:   The subsequent installation of electrical/electronic equipment can lead to the operating permit being invalidated if the installation instructions are not observed!


Interventions in the existing on board wiring harness are not permitted!

2. Vehicle Types

The installation instructions refer to the vehicle types listed in Appendix A.

3. Equipment Labelling for Radio Equipment

Radio equipment which is purpose-designed for installation in motor vehicles, requires an e-marking for countries in which the directive 95/54/EC (European Union) is applicable. An expert's opinion confirming adherence to the limit values of the directive 95/54/EC with regard to the radiation of interference must be submitted for radio equipment without an e-marking which was put on the market before October 2002.

4. Cables, Wiring Harnesses, Aerial Cables

An approved vehicle installation kit must be used for the installation of mobile phones. If a standard commercial installation wiring harness with live components is to be used, this must have an e-marking.

The following requirements must be imposed on the installation of radio equipment (see also sketch):

Object Number: 2413058  Size: DEFAULT

1. Twisted supply line
2. Radio equipment with additional components, mobile phone with installation kit
3. Aerial cable
4. Aerial
5. Fuse
6. Battery

The supply lines to the radio equipment (incl. any additional equipment) must be connected directly to the battery with a safety fuse. The safety fuse must be in the area of the battery.

The supply lines to the positive and negative terminal of the battery must be of the same length including the safety fuse and must contain a minimum of 15 twists per metre.

The cable cross-section of the supply lines is based on the information provided by the manufacturer of the radio equipment, but may not be less than 2.5 mm 2 .

The high frequency connection of the radio equipment and the aerial cable (coaxial cable) must have the same wave impedance.

The voltage standing wave ratio with the terminal resistance may not exceed 1.2.

Routing the wiring harness for the radio equipment in parallel with the vehicle wiring harness should be avoided.

5. Aerials, Positioning, Output:

Mobile phones and radio equipment may only be operated in the vehicle with an external aerial. Aerial positions and maximum transmission output: see Appendix A. The aerial must be harmonised with a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of less than 1.5.

Exception: radio remote control units with a transmission output <100 mW (e.g. garage door openers) may be operated in the interior of the vehicle.

6. Notes:

It is compulsory for all more detailed installation instructions from the radio equipment manufacturer to be observed.

Deviations from these stipulations (aerial location, transmission frequency and transmission output) are only permissible after discussing the matter with the EMC-Test Centre of Adam Opel AG, Rüsselsheim. If necessary, an individual test must be undertaken.
