Section 5
Cable Routing
• Once you have mounted the antenna in the correct location, plan how
to route the cable from this location to the receiver, avoiding blocked
passages and any obstructions that could kink, crimp, twist, or chafe the
cable. Figure 9 shows typical routing configurations. If the cable will
come into contact with a rough metal opening, use a rubber grommet
to prevent damage.
• For antenna mounting locations at the front or middle of the roof, the
cable can be routed down along the door jamb and into the vehicle. In
some vehicles, the cable may be brought into the vehicle through the
grommet in the door jamb which carries the power window and power
lock wires. If the cable does not fit easily through the grommet, do not
try to force it through. Instead, route the cable under the weather seal
near the bottom of the door.
