Hi Folks,

Have just bought a 2004 Shogun LWB Warrior 3.2 did.

I had no idea what an aerial was I found going into a box of wires until I look online and linked to this forum to discover it's a smartnav system.

I dont like the thought of it (someone potentially being able to track me - Something to go wrong or case isues in the future - Worried the kids will press the button).

I followed the cable from the aerial on the side of the windscreen and it goes into a box behind some trim in the passenger footwell along with a lot of other wires.

There's also what looks like a GPS aerial on the middle of the dashboard & a mic on the roorlining at the drivers side & a button which I think switches it on, on the steering column.

Am I safe just to start following all the wires and removing everything I can get to?

I was going to start pulling it all out and tracing wires back as far as I can and removing as much as I can but thought I better check first, in case removing it could cause any problems?


Cheers....

I used to fit dozens of them as Trafficmaster  were local to me, many people liked them as there was no need to input any data, just make a phone call to a helpful operator and the route was downloaded for you.

There are only three basic connections to the vehicle, a red permanent feed, a blue ignition feed and a black earth.  The audio output has its own speaker but it may have been integrated into the radio speaker cables.  Later versions had a 'hockey puck' type antenna that catered for both GPS and GSM but it sounds like yours are separate.
