Peterbilt 567 and 579PeopleNetMobileGateway® (PMG) Install Guide

Identifying Prewire Type All 2017+ Peterbilt 567/579s come with a PMG already installed.

Many pre-2017 567/579s also come with a PMG already installed.

Open the overhead compartment to identify if you have a PMG and whether it is the Factory Standard version or a full Display Prewire.

Pop off the left overhead

panel to view the PMG.

If the large connector has a cap,

then it is a Standard Factory

Prewire.

If there is no PMG, a full

field install is required.

If the large has a cable on it, then

it is a Factory Display Prewire.
