Follow these detailed cable installation instructions:
1 Feed the antenna cable underneath the rubber weather stripping of the
rear tailgate window/door and route the cable along the rear hatch . Lift
the weather stripping from the opening and tuck the cable inside it, then
replace the weather stripping . Pull the cable out from weather stripping
and route it into the cabin under the interior trim . Avoid hinges or gears
that could crimp or cut the cable .
2 Route the cable through the SUV’s main cabin area under the interior trim,
towards the front of the vehicle . Use a 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 .
3
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 .
4 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 .
