Vehicle Installation
• Sedan/Coupe With Antenna Placed at the Rear of the Roof:
1 . Feed the antenna cable from the antenna underneath the rubber
molding around the rear window . Use a blunt plastic putty knife or
similar blunt tool to lift the rubber molding around the rear window
and tuck the antenna cable underneath the molding . Route the
antenna cable around and down the window to the lowest point . If
your rear window does not have rubber molding, we recommend
consulting a professional installer .
2 . Route the antenna cable out of the window molding and into the
rubber weather stripping around the trunk opening . Lift the weather
stripping from the opening and tuck the cable inside it, then replace
the weather stripping . To avoid sharp bends in the cable, run the
cable inside the weather stripping for a few inches, then remove the
cable from the weather stripping inside the trunk . Keep the cable
away from hinges, gears, etc ., that could damage it .
3 . Route the cable out from the rubber weather stripping and along
the trunk wall . Continue
routing the cable into
the vehicle cabin through
a conduit or along an
existing wiring harness .
4 . Route the cable through
the main cabin area under
the interior trim, towards
the front of the vehicle .
Use a blunt plastic putty
knife or similar blunt tool 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 .
5 . Bring the cable out from the trim near the front of the cabin
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 (purchased separately) .
6 . Bring the end of the cable out at the PowerConnect Vehicle
Dock location . Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily
connect it to the antenna connector of the dock .
7 . Continue with “Step 5: Connect the Magnetic Mount Antenna
and PowerConnect Power Adapter” on page 37 .
