Vehicle Installation
•Sedan/Coupe With Antenna Placed at the Rear of the Roof:
1. Feed the antenna cable from the antenna underneath the rubber
molding around the rear window. Use a blunt plastic putty knife or
similar blunt tool to lift the rubber molding around the rear window
and tuck the antenna cable underneath the molding. Route the
antenna cable around and down the window to the lowest point. If
your rear window does not have rubber molding, we recommend
consulting a professional installer.
2. Route the antenna cable out of the window molding and into the
rubber weather stripping around the trunk opening. Lift the weather
stripping from the opening and tuck the cable inside it, then replace
the weather stripping. To avoid sharp bends in the cable, run the
cable inside the weather stripping for a few inches, then remove the
cable from the weather stripping inside the trunk. Keep the cable
away from hinges, gears, etc., that could damage it.
3. Route the cable out from the rubber weather stripping and along
the trunk wall. Continue
routing the cable into
the vehicle cabin through
a conduit or along an
existing wiring harness.
4. Route the cable through
the main cabin area under
the interior trim, towards
the front of the vehicle.
Use a blunt plastic putty
knife or similar blunt tool to lift the plastic trim just enough to
tuck the cable under underneath. Avoid side airbag locations
on back pillars and above the doors. Airbag locations are
marked with “SRS” logos. Be careful not to crimp or cut the
cable.
5. Bring the cable out from the trim near the front of the cabin
and route it under the carpet toward the dashboard or console.
Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the
carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls.
Secure the excess cable with wire ties (purchased separately).
6. Bring the end of the cable out at the PowerConnect Vehicle
Dock location. Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily
connect it to the antenna connector of the dock.

and PowerConnect Power Adapter” on page 37.
