3) Remove the remaining protective tape
from the adhesive, carefully position
the antenna with cover/tail and apply
pressure to secure to the vehicle.
Sedan/Coupe
SUV/Mini-Van
Truck
Convertible (only)
• For SUVs, minivans and five-door
vehicles, bring the cable into the
vehicle under the rubber molding for
the tailgate, and continue under the
interior trim.
• From the trunk, carefully route the
cable to the location of the
SIRSNY1C and plug the SMB
connector onto the unit.
Caution:
• Do not pull the wire across sharp
edges that could damage it.
• Keep the wire away from areas
where it could become tangled in the
driver’s and passenger’s feet.
• Keep the antenna wire away from
extreme heat – like exhaust systems.
• Avoid placing the cable near any
moving parts
Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations
The optimum location to mount the
included antenna is on the roof of the
vehicle. It is important to avoid any
obstruction that will block satellite
signal – like a roof rack. For convertible
vehicles, install the antenna on the trunk
lid.
• Place the antenna on a metal
surface of your vehicle at least 12" x
12", and at least 6" from a window.
(Use the antenna cover/tail as a
guide for the proper distance).
• The antenna’s powerful magnet will
secure it to the metal surface. The
adhesive that is attached to the
antenna cover/tail will secure the
cable to the vehicle. Before routing
the antenna cable, confirm that the
antenna is mounted in a good
location.
• Route the cable from the antenna to
the vehicle’s interior by tucking it
underneath the rubber molding around
the rear window (if possible).
• Route the cable from the lowest point
of the rear window into the trunk. Take
advantage of any existing cable
channels or wiring conduits.
