Product Overview
Product Overview
The weBoost Drive 3G-X Mobile Signal Booster Kit (470111) is the most powerful mobile signal booster allowed by the FCC. This means the Drive 3G-X can give you a usable cell phone reception in locations where other mobile boosters have stopped working. The Drive 3G-X boosts the 2G and 3Gnetworks for all of the major carriers in the United States and Canada, so you get fewer dropped calls and more reliable text messages while in your vehicle. Unlike other signal boosters, the Drive 3G-X communicates with your phone wirelessly and does not require your phone to sit in a cradle, so it can support multiple devices simultaneously.
The weBoost 470111 Drive 3G-X's inside coverage area will depend on your existing outside signal strength. In areas where you have a moderate existing outside signal, the Drive 3G-X will fill a normal vehicle with boosted coverage. As the outside signal gets weaker, the inside coverage area will shrink, until you may have to keep your phone within about 18 inches from the inside antenna in order to take advantage of the boosted signal.
Please Note: This device will NOT boost the 4G LTE high speed data network from carrier. If you need to boost 4G LTE, please see the weBoost Drive 4G-X Signal Booster Kit (470510).

Installation Overview
Installing the weBoost 470111 Drive 3G-X kit is very easy and can usually be done in just a few minutes. Because nothing is permanent, the kit can be transferred to another vehicle as needed.
To start, mount the 12" mag mount antenna on the roof of the vehicle. The antenna must be stuck to a metal surface. If you have a sunroof, position the antenna well behind the sunroof to increase the separation between the inside and outside antennas. Run the cable in through a door opening, under the door weather stripping to protect the cable. Connect the cable to the amplifier's Outside Antenna port. To the inside connect the inside antenna cable. Locate the inside antenna near where you'll typically be using the phone, for example, in the center console or on the side of the driver's seat. Ensure that the cables and amplifier won't be damaged if the front seats are adjusted. Keep inside antenna at least 8 inches for any person and approximately 18 inches from where you typically use your phone. See the below video for more information.
