4. Install the OBU in your vehicle

The OBU should be connected to the vehicle at all times, either via an easy mobile installation (with the power cable to the cigarette lighter socket) or by choosing a fixed installation.

No tools are needed.

Here is how you can install your OBU:

• Make sure your windscreen is free of grease and dirt.
• Stick the OBU to the windscreen horizontally and at the correct height using the suction cups: see picture.
• Make sure the OBU doesn’t obstruct your view.
• Plug the power cable into the cigarette lighter socket.
• The OBU will switch on automatically as soon as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t, you will be reminded to push the ON button (✓) by a flashing display and a continuous beeping.
• Leave the OBU plugged in at all times.

Watch our video to see how to install your OBU!
For more information, check the OBU Mobile Installation Guide (delivered in the OBU blister or downloadable here).

You can also connect your On Board Unit permanently to the vehicle’s electrical system using a fixed cable. The additional costs for a fixed installation are borne by the vehicle owner.

How do I install a fixed OBU?
-  Contact an organisation offering the installation service e.g. VDO or Phelect.
- OR do it yourself:

• Make sure your windscreen is free of grease and dirt beforehand.
• Stick the OBU to the windscreen horizontally and at the correct height using the suction cups: see picture.
• Make sure the OBU doesn’t obstruct your view.
• OBU will switch on automatically as soon as you start your vehicle.
