Some good control module locations are: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the under-
dash fuse box, or above the radio.
The antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle’s owner prior to installation, since the antenna may
be visible to the vehicle’s operator. The best location for the antenna is centered high on either the front or rear
windshield. For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally in rela-
tion to the windshield or under the dashboard away from metal, but range will be diminished. Metallic window
tint can also affect range, so this should be a consideration when determining the mounting location.
After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:
1. Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.
3. Mount the antenna using the supplied double-sided tape.
4. Route the antenna cable to the control module and plug it into the antenna connector.
IMPORTANT!
To achieve the best possible range, DO NOT leave the antenna cable bundled under
the dash. Always extend the cable full length during installation, regardless of the antenna mount-
ing location.
Ensure that the location you pick for this switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well
hidden. It should be placed so that passengers or stored items (such as items placed in a glove box or center
console) cannot accidentally bump it. The switch fits in a

-inch hole.
IMPORTANT!
When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the Valet/Program switch
is located and how to disarm the system using the switch.
