Here are some general
guidelines. For more tips
and details, check out
your User Guide or go to
sirius.com/vehicleinstall/
A. Placing the antenna outside.
Leave at least 3" of metal around
the antenna. Use the rubber tail
cover to hide and protect the
exposed wire. Feed the wire under
the rubber molding around the
back windshield, into the seal
around the trunk. Route the
cable along trunk wall and into
the interior cabin from there.
B. Hiding the antenna wire inside.
The best place to hide your
antenna wire depends on your
vehicle. It's usually easiest to
run the wire from the rear of the
vehicle to the front toward the
radio by routing the cable along
the interior trim where it meets
the carpet. by gently pushing
it behind the edges of the trim.
Then bring the cable out from the
trim and route it under the carpet
to the dashboard or console. Plug
the cable into the radio and coil
any extra wires under the carpet
or floor mat.
Antenna placement options for other vehicles.
