Tuner Installation Notes
• The Tuner must be installed inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle, in a location that always remains
free from moisture, and is protected from weather elements.
• The recommended location for mounting the Tuner is behind the dash of the vehicle, if possible, however, the
Tuner may be installed elsewhere in the vehicle provided the necessary cables and wires can reach the Tuner.
In larger vehicles where the satellite antenna cable cannot reach to the dashboard, it may be necessary to
mount the Tuner in a location toward the rear of the vehicle, such as under a rear seat or behind a rear quarter
panel.
• The satellite antenna cable should not be cut, lengthened, or shortened.
• Avoid locating the Tuner near heating or cooling vents in the vehicle, or where hot or cold air blows directly on
the Tuner.
• Avoid locating the Tuner where it could interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
• Do not install the Tuner under a carpet or in a small enclosed area lacking proper ventilation.
• Mount the Tuner securely so it will not shift from the motion or vibration of the vehicle.
• When a mounting location is chosen, before drilling the mounting holes, verify that the holes or mounting screws
will not damage anything behind the mounting location, or obstruct any of the vehicle’s mechanical or electrical
systems.
• When the Tuner is mounted, the cables and wires connected to the Tuner should be free of kinks and crimps,
and securely connected to the Tuner. Extra cable or wire lengths should be coiled and secured with wire ties or
electrical tape to the existing wiring harnesses in the vehicle.
