Follow these detailed cable installation instructions:
1.Feed the cable from the antenna underneath the rubber molding around the rear window. Use a plastic putty knife or similar object to lift the rubber molding around the rear window and tuck the antenna cable underneath the molding. Route the an- tenna cable around and down the window to the lowest point. If your rear window does not have rubber molding, SIRIUS recommends consulting with a professional installer.
2.Route the antenna cable out of the window molding and into the rubber weather stripping around the trunk opening. Lift the weather stripping from the opening and tuck the cable inside it, then replace the weather stripping. To avoid sharp bends in the cable, run the cable inside of the weather stripping for a few inches, then remove the cable from the weather stripping inside of the trunk. Keep the cable away from hinges, gears, etc., that could damage it.
3.Route the cable out from the rubber weather stripping and along the trunk wall. Continue routing the cable into the cabin through a conduit or along an existing wiring harness.
4.Route the cable through the main cabin area under the interior trim, towards the front of the vehicle. Use the plastic putty knife to lift the plastic trim just enough to tuck the ca- ble under underneath. Avoid side airbag locations on back pillars and above the doors. (Airbag locations are marked with “SRS” logos.) Be careful not to crimp or cut the cable.
5.Bring the cable out from the trim near the firewall and route it under the carpet toward the dashboard or console. Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable with wire ties.
6.Bring the end of the cable out at the SIRIUS Vehicle Dock location. Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily connect it to the antenna connector on the Vehicle Dock.
