Cable Routing/Tools Required/Installation Procedure
2. For antenna mounting locations at the front or middle of the roof,
the cable can be routed down along the door jam and into the car. In
some cars, the cable may be brought into the vehicle through the
grommet in the door jam which carries the power window and power
lock wires. If the cable does not fit easily through this grommet, do
not try to force it through. Instead, route the cable under the weather
seal near the lowest part of the trunk to reduce possible water leaks.
3. Use pre-existing wiring channels created by the vehicle manufacturer
whenever possible.
Tools Required
The antenna contains a powerful magnet that will secure it to a metal roof
under normal driving conditions. No additional tools should be needed to
mount the antenna.
Installation Procedure
Step 1
Remove the car stereo head unit from your dash board.
Important: Depending on how your head unit was installed you may
have to remove part or all of your dashboard to remove the
head unit before the head unit can be pulled out. You may
also have to remove screws to complete this step.
Step 2
Connect the cable into the PIA. Plug the other end of the cable into the head
unit adapter. Read your cable installation manual for proper installation to
your specific head unit.
