[ Installation ] 29
Follow these detailed cable installation instructions:
Bring the cable from the antenna into the trunk at the front edge of the trunk lid. Keep
any bends in the cable loose. Tape or tie the cable along the inside of the trunk lid to the
trunk lid hinge strut.
Allow enough slack in the cable so the trunk lid can easily open and close and keep the
cable away from hinges, gears, etc., that could crimp or cut it. Route the cable along the
trunk wall and into the cabin through a conduit or along an existing wiring harness.
Route the cable through the main cabin area under the interior trim, towards the 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. (Air-
bag locations are marked with “SRS” logos.) Be careful not to crimp or cut the cable.
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.
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
dock.
