Step 4:

Reuse the cable twist ties that were provided with the power adapter and car antenna cables and always be sure to gather, bundle, twist tie, and secure any excess cable remaining after determining the best location for your satellite radio installation.

For example, secure the excess cable up under your dash, between the seat and the console, or on the floor under a seat or floor mat. This will help to prevent the excess cable from interfering with the everyday use of your vehicle, improve the appearance of the installation, and avoid any undesirable accidental damage to the cables that might result in loss of power or satellite signal.

For wireless FM modulator installations, securing and tie-wrapping the excess cable is important to reduce background hissing noise. Be sure to choose a location carefully by taking notice of how doors and trunks open and close, as well as how seats move when they are adjusted, so you can be certain ample clearance is provided for the cables.
