Finding a Location
for the Antenna

Due to the paths of the SIRIUS satellites over the
U.S., the best location for the antenna will depend
on what part of the country you live in, the orientation
of your home, and the locations of any obstructions
that could prevent the satellite signal from reaching
the antenna. The best antenna location is on the
roof, facing straight up (see below).
• The location of the “X” on the map on pg. 13

must be visible to the antenna.

3. 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 & 5-door Vehicles: Bring the
cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for
the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.

4. From the trunk, route the cable around the

passenger compartment and to the back of
the cradle.

• Do not pull the cable across sharp edges

that could damage it.

• Keep the cable away from areas where

it could become tangled in driver’s or
passengers’ feet.

5. Plug the antenna into the

back of the cradle (right).

Note: KENWOOD RECOMMENDS UNPLUGGING THE
CIGARETTE LIGHTER ADAPTER AFTER YOU TURN OFF
THE VEHICLE’S IGNITION. (In some vehicles, the

has been turned off, and leaving Here

6. Confirm that the antenna is mounted in a

good location.

• Make sure the vehicle is not in a garage

or somewhere the satellite signal could
be blocked.

• Slide Here

display will read “Acquiring Signal.” Re-orient
the antenna until you hear audio. (See Antenna
Aiming, on page 27 to use the ANTENNA
