Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations The optimum location to mount the antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. It is important to avoid any obstruction that will block the satellite signal, such as a roof rack. For convertible vehicles, install the antenna on the trunk lid as shown. • Place the antenna on a metal surface of your vehicle at least 12" x 12", and at least 6" from a window. (Use the antenna cover/tail as a guide for the proper distance from the rear window.) • The antenna's magnet will secure it to the metal surface. The adhesive that is attached to the antenna cover/tail will secure the cable to the vehicle. Before routing the antenna cable, confirm that the antenna is mounted in a suitable location. • Route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle's interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding around the rear window, if possible. • Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of any existing cable channels or wiring conduits. • For SUVs, minivans and five-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding of the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim. • From the trunk, carefully route the cable to the location of the SIR-ALP10T and plug the SMB connector into the tuner. Sedan/Coupe SUV/Mini-Van Truck Convertible (only) Caution: • Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could damage it. • Keep the wire away from areas where it could become tangled in the driver's and passenger's feet. • Keep the antenna wire away from extreme heat, such as exhaust systems. • Avoid placing the cable near any moving parts.
