CAUTION! STOP and read the more specific instructions in the User Guide for all
. . types of vehicles - or get someone who knows vehicles to help - if you don't
understand what to do. You might accidentally do damage to your vehicle.
Feed the antenna wire under the rubber molding around the front or rear
windshield, and into the seal around the trunk or door. For a convertible, the cable
can be routed directly into the trunk.

TIP! Use a tool like a blunt plastic putty knife, a credit card, a plastic knife, or a
. . similar blunt tool to help hide wires along the windshield trim.
Hide the Magnetic Mount Antenna Cable Inside the Vehicle
The best place to hide your antenna cable depends on your type of vehicle.
When the antenna is mounted at the rear of the vehicle, it's usually easiest to run
the cable from the rear to the front toward the radio by routing the cable along the
interior trim where it meets the carpet, gently pushing it behind the edges of the
trim. Bring the cable out from the trim and route it under the carpet toward the
dashboard.
When the antenna is mounted at the front of the vehicle, bring the cable into the
rubber weather stripping around the door to the bottom of the door opening. Bring
the cable out of the weather stripping and route it under the carpet toward the
dashboard.
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.
Plug the antenna into the silver ANT connection on the rear of the dock.
• TIP! Avoid damaging or compromising the window, door, and trunk seals.
