Step 2: Prepare the FEA for temporary installation

Attach the suction cups to the antenna portion of the FEA in the positions shown in Figure 31. The antenna portion of the FEA is the relatively thinner section of the cable in between the bead and the arrow that transmits the FM signal to your vehicle’s FM antenna.

Step 3: Use the suction cups to temporarily install the FEA according to your vehicle’s antenna type

On the next several pages you will find the FEA mounting location for your type of FM antenna (A, B, C, etc.). Before attaching the FEA, clean the area where the suction cups will be mounted with the supplied alcohol swab. The FEA wire between the two suction cups should be pulled taut and as straight as possible, and should not obstruct the driver’s view.
