Page 20: Installation Guidelines
6. Installation Guidelines Step 1. First, determine the proper location for your XM satellite radio antenna based on the following criteria for your specific vehicle: a. You must locate the satellite radio antenna on the top of the roof either in front of the rear window (option 1) or behind the windshield (option 2). - Page 21 c. Avoid kinking, crimping, twisting or chafing the cable. Use pre-existing wire channels when possible. d. For option 1 and rear mounting locations, route the cable into the trunk as shown in the previous illustration. Always cross the weather seal at the lowest part of the trunk to reduce water leaks.
- Page 22 Step 2. Once you have plugged the power and antenna jacks into the vehicle cradle, secure the cables with tape or wire ties to allow for a clean appearance.For example, secure the excess cable up under your dash board, between the seat and the console, or on the floor under a seat or floor mat.
