Antenna Installation Notes
•
Proper antenna location is critical to obtaining maximum SIRIUS signal strength.
•
The optimum mounting location for the antenna is on the roof of the vehicle, with a minimum unobstructed
area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and exactly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the vehicle (the length of
the provided rubber antenna cable cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions that will block the
SIRIUS signal, obstructions such as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo containers, or other
antennas. For convertible vehicles, the antenna should be installed on the trunk lid.
Sedan/Coupe: Mount the antenna along
the rear centerline of the vehicle roof,
located at the rear of the roof near the
