Tips for Identifying the FM Antenna

Tip Correctly identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna is a key to successfully installing the FEA. The preceding installation section already showed you the different kinds of FM antennas found on vehicles. However, there are several

types of antennas found on vehicles that you may at ﬁrst believe to be the FM antenna but which in reality are not. Instead they may actually be GPS, OnStar®, cell phone, factory-installed satellite radio antennas, or another type of antenna.

Please be aware of the following when identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna:

•Puck-type antennas and shark-ﬁn type antennas are never the FM antenna. Figure 46 shows several types of these antennas which should not be mistaken for an FM antenna. If you have located one of these types of antennas on your vehicle you can be certain that it’s not the FM antenna. Continue your search to ﬁnd the actual FM antenna.
