 No, the INFORAD unit attaches to the dashboard simply using two Velcro® patches and connects to the cigarette lighter outlet. It can be installed and put away in a few seconds.

Many shops carry multi-socket cigarette lighter adapters so you can operate two electrical accessories simultaneously.
For your information, INFORAD complies with the EC standard and does not cause any disturbance in the operation of other devices installed in your vehicle, including GPS receivers with a screen installed as original equipment or as an option.

---

 Yes, the USB connection cable that powers the INFORAD GPS alarm is connected to a cigarette lighter adapter that operates at 12 or 24 volts.
This adapter is supplied standard; you will find it in your INFORAD’s packaging with the other accessories.

 Some vehicles are equipped with a metallic windscreen. This type of heat-absorbing windscreen can affect the Inforad GPS receiver’s operation. In this case, we recommend the use of a live external antenna that is available as an option in all Inforad retail outlets (usually priced at €29.90). It is equipped with a magnetic base, delivered with approximately 2.5 metres of cable and its connector is a SMB female type.
However, if your vehicle’s heat-absorbing windscreen has a window initially provided so electronic tagging devices for motorway toll systems can function and the INFORAD unit’s top (INFORAD logo) can be positioned vis-à-vis this window without restriction, we recommend that you effect a trial first before ordering the miniature external antenna.

 Yes, of course, the INFORAD unit attaches to the dashboard simply using two Velcro® patches and connects to the cigarette lighter outlet. Thus it can be installed in another vehicle in a few seconds. Maybe you should get an extra Velcro® patch if you install your INFORAD regularly in a second vehicle.

---

 To obtain the best satellite reception possible, place your INFORAD as close as possible to the centre of the dashboard and the windscreen.

 WARNING DANGER!
No, you should in no case alter the USB cable, which powers your INFORAD unit. A 5 Volt current powers the INFORAD unit electrically. Only the cigarette lighter adapter delivered as standard can correctly power your GPS alarm. This adapter transforms the 12 or 24-Volt current into 5 Volts and also protects your unit electrically with a fuse.
(Concerning the replacement of the USB cable, refer to the question: Is there a solution if the supplied cable is too short to correctly position INFORAD in a particular type of vehicle?)

---

No, unfortunately this is not possible. The INFORAD unit connects to an external live antenna that it powers electrically. Consequently, it is impossible to connect it to another type of antenna, which moreover is connected to another system.

---

 Yes, the cable that we supply is a standard USB cable type A/B, one metre long. Therefore it can be replaced in your vehicle by any standard cable of the same type irrespective of its length.
