Tips for Identifying the FM Antenna
Correctly identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna is a key to successfully
installing the FEA. The preceding installation section already showed you the
different kinds of FM antennas found on vehicles. However, there are several
types of antennas found on vehicles that you may at fi rst believe to be the FM antenna
but which in reality are not. Instead they may actually be GPS, OnStar
®
, cell phone,
factory-installed satellite radio antennas, or another type of antenna.
Please be aware of the following when identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna:
Puck-type antennas and shark-fi n type antennas are
never the FM antenna.
Figure 46
shows several types of these antennas which should not be mistaken for
an FM antenna. If you have located one of these types of antennas on your vehicle
you can be certain that it’s not the FM antenna. Continue your search to fi nd the
actual FM antenna.
