How to Connect a GPS Splitter Cable for BMW, Mercedes-Benz & Audi Android Screens
After upgrading a BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi with a UGODE Android screen, a GPS splitter cable allows the new Android screen to continue using the vehicle's original GPS antenna instead of installing an additional GPS antenna. The vehicle must already be equipped with a factory GPS antenna.
GPS Splitter Cable Connection
The GPS splitter cable connects the original GPS antenna to both the factory head unit and the Android screen. Connect the three ends as follows.
Android Screen
Connect the end with the inline diode to the GPS port on the UGODE Android screen.
Factory Head Unit
Connect the other branch connector to the GPS port on the original factory head unit.
Original GPS Antenna
Connect the straight connector to the vehicle's original GPS antenna cable.
GPS Splitter Cable Connection Diagram
Connect the GPS splitter cable as shown below.
Separate GPS Port → Compatible
If the factory head unit has a separate GPS antenna port like the example below, the GPS splitter cable can be used, provided the connector type matches.
Combined BT/GPS Port → Not Compatible
If the GPS connection on your factory head unit is combined with the Bluetooth antenna connection in a BT/GPS port like the example below, this GPS splitter cable is not compatible.
Important: The vehicle must already have a factory GPS antenna. The UGODE GPS splitter cable requires a separate factory GPS antenna port. A combined BT/GPS antenna port is not compatible with this splitter cable.
