Figure 7: Installed antenna The antenna cables should be tucked and routed underneath the rubber molding around the rear window and into the trunk. Note: Routing the cable in the window molding will not affect the sealing of the window.
- Page 7 Figure 9: Cables routed separately Two types of window moldings (Outside and Encapsulated) are used on most vehi- cles. Both are suitable for concealing the antenna cable. Figure 10: Outside rubber molding (most common) Figure 11: Encapsulated molding (less common) Note: The window molding will be more flexible and easier to work with at room tem- perature or above.

- Page 9 Figure 16 Removing connector housings Most Sirius receivers (including the Kenwood KTC-SR901) have two antenna inputs with the same color-coding as the antenna cable - white = terrestrial; blue = satel- lite. Simply plug the cable with the blue connector into the blue input and the cable with the white connector into the white input.

In such cases it will be necessary to create a metal "ground plane". This can be done by gluing aluminum foil (at least 2 square feet) underneath the trunk lid between the composite lid and the liner.

The cable may be routed to the cable channel, lift up the channel and go through the small opening and push the cable directly between sheet metal and headliner.
