Installation Basics::
When choosing a location to mount the components, care must
be taken not to interfere with any of the vehicles existing
systems. Good installation practices should be observed when
mounting components to avoid any vibration, movement or
rattling after installation. Components should be secured in
place with methods such as Velcro, double stick foam tape,
screws and nuts, cable ties etc. All mounting hardware and
methods are at the discretion of the installer. Cables should also
be secured in place to avoid movement. Care should be taken not
to crimp any of the cables when installing them. And special
care should be taken not to route cables on or near sharp edges
that could eventually cut into the jacket of the cable.
Installation Planning::
Typically the XM tuner should be located within 3 feet of the rear
of the radio due to harness and cable lengths. The antenna
should be located in an area to insure the cable will reach the
tuner location. Check this prior to installation. The installation
guide XM-RVR-D-001 supplied with your XM tuner and antenna
has additional information on antenna location and installati
