2. Greater confusion may arise with whip type antennas. Figure 15 shows some whip type
antennas which can be found on a vehicle’s front or rear roof, or on the rear windshield.
Some of these antennas could be the FM antenna and some are not the FM antenna.
Antennas with a short 2-4 inch stubby whip or protrusion
are not
FM antennas, while
antennas with a whip length of 7 inches or longer are likely to be the FM antenna. If your ve-
hicle has a short stubby antenna, you should continue searching your vehicle’s FM antenna.
If after searching your vehicle you’re still uncertain as to where your FM antenna is located in
your vehicle then SIRIUS recommends professional installation of the FM Extender Antenna.
Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a
professional installer.
If the FM antenna is not correctly identified, the installation of the FEA will result in poor perfor-
mance and unsatisfactory results.
