The Front (Main) antenna is your
primary
system antenna. It is not necessary to
use both main antennas If antiquate range is achieved with only the Front main
antenna. The
“Y”
antenna connector harness provided MUST be use even when
only one antenna is installed. The second Main antenna is used to extend coverage
area and might be used for the rear hatch of an SUV or simply to extend the
coverage area of the driver’s door. The most important considerations are:
(1)
Mount the antenna so it is NOT behind or touching a metal surface. (2) Mount
the antenna so that it will not change orientation or position once installed.
Main (Front) antenna location
Installation of the systems Main Antenna is a very
individual matter depending on the vehicle. There are a number of acceptable
locations for mounting your system antenna. On some vehicles a location behind
the dash will provide acceptable range, but on others the amount of metal in the
dash will dampen the antenna signal will not prove to be sufficient. The upper or
lower corners of the windshield are typically excellent antenna locations, Fig.1.
Note: Initially secure the antenna using 3M double sided tape. Test several different
locations to determine which the best for your vehicle is. : Leave positioning of the
system antenna as a final part of your installation. Leave enough antenna wire
loose so that different locations can be tested. Additional good locations for the
main antenna install include: The passenger portal style window Fig.2. or in the
vehicle headliner.

antenna / (Rear) location
The detection range of the rear antenna is around 3
Feet. Please stick it to the rear glass or side glass to cover the rear hatch and two
back doors. Fig. 3
Backup antenna location
The Backup Antenna can be installed anywhere. It is
used only in the event you need to gain access to and start your vehicle without a
system iKey™. The sensing ability of the Backup antenna is very short (only 4-6
inches), A recommended location for this antenna is in the front or rear window’s
top, bottom or side edges. Once installed be sure to test that the antenna can easily
detect the Emergency Backup Card.
