• Once you have a desired antenna location,

plan how to route the cable from this 

location to the receiver, avoiding blocked

passages and any obstructions that could

kink, crimp, twist, or chafe the cable. If the

cable will come into contact with a rough

metal opening, use a rubber grommet to

prevent damage.

• To ease routing of the cable, the antenna

connector may be removed by pushing

down on the tab marked “PUSH” and

pulling on the connector (do NOT pull on

the cables).

• Use pre-existing wiring channels created by

the vehicle manufacturer whenever feasible.
