Vehicle Installation
Sedan/Coupe With Antenna Placed at the Rear of the Roof:
1. Feed the antenna cable from the antenna underneath the rubber molding
around the rear window . Use a blunt plastic putty knife or similar blunt tool
to lift the rubber molding around the rear window and tuck the antenna
cable underneath the molding . Route the antenna cable around and down
the window to the lowest point . If your rear window does not have rubber
molding, we recommend consulting a professional installer .
2. Route the antenna cable out of the window molding and into the rubber
weather stripping around the trunk opening . Lift the weather stripping from
the opening and tuck the cable inside it, then replace the weather stripping .
To avoid sharp bends in the cable, run the cable inside the weather stripping
for a few inches, then remove the cable from the weather stripping inside
the trunk . Keep the cable away from hinges, gears, etc ., that could damage
it .
3. Route the cable out from the rubber weather stripping and along the trunk
wall . Continue routing the cable into the vehicle cabin through a conduit or
along an existing wiring harness .
4. Route the cable through the main cabin area under the interior trim, towards
the front of the vehicle . Use a
blunt plastic putty knife or similar
blunt tool to lift the plastic trim
just enough to tuck the cable
under underneath . Avoid side
airbag locations on back pillars
and above the doors . Airbag
locations are marked with "SRS"
logos . Be careful not to crimp or
cut the cable .
