Installing the Antenna

The optimum mounting loca tion for the magnetic antenna is on the roof of the vehicl e, with a minimum unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, a nd exactly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the vehicle (the length of the rubber ant enna cable cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions th at will block the SIRIUS sign al, obstructions such as a ro of rack, a sunroof, roof mounted c argo containers, or other ant ennas. For convertible vehicl es, the antenna should be install ed on the trunk lid.

For best performance, it is recommended that the anten na be installed with the rubb er antenna cable cover/tail. This rubber antenna cable co ver/tail provides two benefit s: first, it positions the antenna the recommended distance from th e rear window, rear door/hatc h, or trunk edge to give the an tenna the best view of the sk y. Secondly, it conceals and protects the exposed antenna cable . The rubber antenna cable co ver/tail has adhesive strips that hold it securely in place.

The following illustratio ns show the recommended mount ing locations of the antenna for several types of vehicles . (Figure 9) Follow these rec ommendations for best perform ance from the antenna.
