You’ll be glad you did this right.
Place your magnetic antenna
and hide those wires.
Here are some general
guidelines. For more tips
and details, check out
your User Guide or go to
sirius.com/vehicleinstall/
A. Placing the antenna
outside.
Leave at least 3” of metal
around the antenna. Use
the rubber tail cover to hide
and protect the exposed
wire. feed the wire under
the rubber molding around
the back windshield, into the
seal around the trunk. Route
the cable along trunk wall
and into the interior cabin
from there.
B. Hiding the antenna
wire inside.
the best place to hide your
antenna wire depends on
your vehicle. It’s usually
easiest to run the wire from
the rear of the vehicle to
the front toward the radio
by routing the cable along
the interior trim where it
meets the carpet, by gently
pushing it behind the edges
of the trim. then bring
the cable out from trim
and route under carpet to
dashboard or console. Plug
cable into the radio and coil
extra wire under carpet or
floor mat.

fessional installation of
this item. Consult your
User Guide for more info.
