scribing the position of the vehicle
mounting the CONNECT Nav+.
SMS messages are structured as fol-
lows:
– vehicle location (latitude and lon-
gitude)
– city (only with navigation CD in-
serted; if no CD is inserted, the field
is empty)
– street (only with navigation CD in-
serted; if no CD is inserted, the field
is empty)
– time and date
– vehicle ID (number plate).Example: LT:-2.30000;LG:-2.40000; #Benevento;#

If the navigation CD is inserted, the
vehicle position is processed matching
coordinates with system maps.

even if the GPS coverage is temporari-
ly missing; in this case the vehicle posi-
tion is calculated through the “dead
reckoning” procedure.

Should one or more of the following
conditions - e.g.: CONNECT Nav+

when sending SMS messages, their reg-
ular transmission will be impaired.
In this case the system will store the
messages and send them later (max.
10 messages) when normal operating
conditions are restored.
IMPORTANTMore particularly,
the condition of CONNECT Nav+ off
will store the messages with incorrect
position, since the first position pre-
sent at system switching on will be de-
tected.SPEED LIMIT ALARM
When the preset vehicle speed lim-
it threshold is overcome, the CON-
NECT Nav+ will warn the driver by
a buzzer and a warning message on the
display. The “Speed limit warning” has
priority on whatever message and
stays on for 3 seconds from the mo-
ment in which the speed limit is over-
come.

MODEM (data interface)
This function enables to connect an
external device (e.g.: portable com-
puter) to the CONNECT Nav+ that
in this case will act as a modem. To im-
plement such configuration the link be-
tween the external device and the
CONNECT Nav+ connection (to be
found in central position under the
dashboard) shall be performed using
the cable provided with the system.
The max. data transmission speed is
that provided for the cellular tele-
phone mode (TEL) and is equal to 9.6
Kbps, as established by the commu-
nication with GSM cell network.
During data transmission (modem
function on), the CONNECT Nav+
condition is the following:
– telephone mode off (TEL-OFF);
– incoming calls blocked;– call forwarding blocked;
– navigator (NAV) function can be
activated; if navigation is on data trans-
mission can be slow;
– all audio functions (radio, CD) can
be activated
– emergency call can be forwarded
by pressing •25-fig. 1.IMPORTANTThe modem func-
tion cannot be activated during a call.
IMPORTANTPress button •to
abort the modem function; the system
will restore the GSM telephone mode
for the selected function and will re-
quest to enter the PIN code; data ex-
changed during transmission will be
lost (unless data back-up have been
performed by user’s computer appli-
cations).
The modem function will not be re-
stored automatically by the system
when the emergency or service call is
over. To restore it repeat the proce-
dure from the beginning.

CONNECT Nav+
168
IMPORTANTStarting the engine
when the modem function is on, will
cause the connection drop with data
loss as a consequence. Stooping the
engine has no effect on data transmis-
sion since the CONNECT Nav+ will
stay on for other 20 minutes. If a GSM
communication is in progress the sys-
tem will automatically activate a new
window for other 20 minutes. Long
GSM communications (with data
transmission) can run down the vehi-
cle battery.
Operation requirements
The modem function is operational
if the following conditions are present:
– CONNECT Nav+ on;
