1. Bring the antenna cable from the antenna into the trunk at the front
edge of the trunk lid. Keep any bends in the cable loose. Tape or tie the
cable along the inside of the trunk lid to the trunk lid hinge strut.
2. Allow enough slack in the cable so the trunk lid can easily open and
close and keep the cable away from hinges, gears, etc., that could
crimp or cut it. Route the cable along the trunk wall and into the cabin
through a conduit or along an existing wiring harness.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. 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.
6. Continue with “Step 6: Connect
the Magnetic Mount Antenna and
PowerConnect Power Adapter” on
page 36.
