1. An aftermarket telematics unit comprising:
- a housing configured to be mounted to an internal surface of a vehicle;
an electronic storage unit associated with the housing;
an angle detection unit communicatively coupled with the electronic storage unit, the angle detection unit configured to detect a mounting angle of the housing and to instruct the electronic storage unit to store a first electronic data file containing information indicative of the mounting angle; and
a processor communicatively coupled with the electronic storage unit,wherein the electronic storage unit is configured to store a second electronic data file containing information relating to a plurality of target mounting angles, and wherein the processor is configured to perform an initial configuration procedure, to retrieve the first electronic data file and the second electronic data file stored in the electronic storage unit during the initial configuration procedure, to determine whether the mounting angle is out of a target range using the first electronic data file and the second electronic data file, and to discontinue the initial configuration procedure when the mounting angle is out of the target range, and wherein the second electronic data file contains the plurality of target mounting angles.
