channels or wiring conduits.
• For SUVs, minivans & 5-door vehicles, bring the cable into
the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and
continue under the interior trim.

age it.
• Keep the cable away from areas where it could become
tangled in driver’s and passenger’s feet.

4. Due to the paths of the SIRIUS satellites
over the US, the best location for the
antenna will depend on what part of the
country you live in, the orientation of
your home, and the locations of any
obstructions that could prevent the satel-
lite signal from reaching the antenna.
The best antenna location is on the roof,
facing straight up ( see below).
• The location of the “X” on the map on page
13 must be visible to the antenna
Note:
The antenna is
weatherproof, so it can
be mounted outside
