INSTALLATION

Step 1: Determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antenna

The key to properly installing the FEA in your vehicle is being able to determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antenna. The type and location of the FM antenna in your vehicle should be one of the following (see Figure 30, opposite):

A. Whip/aerial mounted on the front fender or hood: A fixed or retractable aerial antenna located on the front fender or hood of the vehicle.

B. Whip/aerial mounted in the A-pillar of car frame: A fixed or retractable aerial antenna located in the A-pillar of the vehicle’s frame.

C. In-glass, in the rear windshield: Several lengths of wire in the rear windshield glass, usually near the top of the window. There is a difference between the FM antenna and the rear window defroster wires found in many vehicles. The FM antenna wires have uneven spacing, breaks in the wires, and some of the wires do not run from edge-to- edge in the glass, while the rear window defroster wires have uniform spacing and all wires run from edge-to-edge in the glass.

D. Whip/aerial mounted on rear part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the rear part of the roof (often just above the rear windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be 7 inches or longer.

E. Whip/aerial mounted on the rear fender or trunk: A fixed or retractable whip or aerial antenna located on the rear fender or trunk of the vehicle.

F. Whip/aerial mounted on front part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the front part of the roof (often just above the front windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be 7 inches or longer.

G. In-glass, in the front windshield: One or more strands of wire in the front wind- shield, usually near the top of the windshield.

H. In-glass, in a rear side window: Several strands of wires in a rear side window, often found in SUVs, mini-vans and station wagons.
