Installation Overview

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. When routing the cables avoid blocked passages and
any obstructions that could kink, crimp, twist, or chafe the cables.
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::

The XMDKEN100 should be located within 2-3 feet of the XMD1000
due to the 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 supplied with your XM
Universal Tuner and bundled antenna has additional information
on antenna location and installation.
