Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations
The optimum location to mount the included antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. It is impor-
tant to avoid any obstruction that will block satellite signal – like a roof rack. For convertible
vehicles, install the antenna on the trunk lid.
Place the antenna on a metal surface of your vehicle at least 2-
3/4” from a window or another edge. (Use the antenna cover/tail
as a guide for the proper distance).
The antenna’s magnet will secure it to the metal surface. The
adhesive that is attached to the antenna cover/tail will secure the
cable to the vehicle. Before routing the antenna cable, confirm
that the antenna is mounted in a good location.
Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by
tucking it underneath the rubber molding around the rear window
(if possible). Avoid sharp edges or tight areas that may pinch the
cable.
For SUVs, minivans and five-door vehicles, bring the cable into
the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and con-
tinue under the interior trim.
For convertibles mount the antenna to the rear deck
and route the cable into the interior from within the
trunk.
Caution:
Avoid sharp edges, moving parts and areas of
extreme heat.
