Introduction
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 .
5. Bring the cable out from the trim near the front of the cabin and route it under the carpet
toward the dashboard or console . Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the
carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls . Secure the excess cable with wire
ties (purchased separately) .
6. Bring the end of the cable out at the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock
location . Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily connect it to the
antenna connector of the dock .
7. Connect the antenna connector to the ANT connection of the Tuner
Module . Note: Use only SiriusXM approved antennas .
