When selecting an antenna location, make sure the proposed site meets
the following conditions:
a. The antenna does not block any part of the vehicle’s brake light.
b. The coupler core in the ThruGlass Coupler does not cross antenna or
defroster lines. Using the enclosed Installation Templates will fulfill this
condition (see step 3 on the next page and step 11 on page 10).
c. The selected site does not interfere with the driver’s visibility during
vehicle operation.
d. Choose the highest possible location on the vehicle’s rear or side
window that satisfies the conditions above without the ThruGlass
Coupler touching the vehicle’s interior headliner.
•
At the proposed site, make sure the antenna mast rises above the roofline
of the vehicle, as well as any other objects that are typically placed on the
roof, to ensure a constant line of sight to the XM satellites.
•
At the proposed site, make sure that the vehicle’s interior headliner does
not prevent the ThruGlass Coupler from aligning with the Main Antenna
Unit. Also preview steps 11 through 14 on pages 10 and 11.
•
Before attaching the Main Antenna Unit or ThruGlass Coupler, make sure
the vehicle’s glass is above 60 °F, non-condensing, and dry.
