Sirius XM RAdio Stratus 7 User Manual page 25

Follow these detailed cable installation instructions:
1 Feed the cable from the antenna underneath the rubber molding around
the rear window . Use a plastic putty knife or similar object 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, SiriusXM
recommends consulting with 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 of the
weather stripping for a few inches, then remove the cable from the weather
stripping inside of 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 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 the plastic putty knife 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 firewall 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 .
6 Bring the end of the cable out at the Vehicle Dock location .Leave yourself
enough cable so you can easily connect it to the antenna connector on the
Vehicle Dock .
