front of the vehicle. Use a plastic putty knife to lift the plastic trim just enough to tuck the cable 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.
3.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.
4.Bring the end of the cable out at the SIRIUS radio location. Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily connect it to the antenna connector of the SIRIUS radio or vehicle cradle/dock.
