b. When routing the antenna cable along the windshield or rear
window, tuck the antenna cable under the window seal to
maintain a professional looking installation and to avoid loose
wires on the exterior of the vehicle which are susceptible to
damage. Follow the interior cable routing diagram depicted
by dashed lines in the illustration above where possible.
c. For best FM Modulator performance, you must position the
satellite radio antenna in a location that is in close proximity
to the vehicle’s FM antenna.
d. Avoid kinking, crimping, twisting or chafing the cable. Use
pre-existing wire channels when possible.
e. For option 1 and rear mounting locations, route the cable into
the trunk as shown in the previous illustration. Always cross
the weather seal at the lowest part of the trunk to reduce water
leaks. From the trunk, route the cable into the passenger
compartment through available wire channels and then along
the floor under the door jam trim or under the carpet to the
front of the passenger compartment. Do not leave the cable
loose in the passenger compartment where it is likely to be
damaged.
