Shortening the antenna "tail" The antenna module is supplied with a 6 inch tail. For vehicles with flat roofs (SUVs, Mini-vans) and for convertibles, it is possible to shorten the tail by up to 2 inches. NOTE: For v vehicles w with a a s sloping r roof, o or iif t the m module iis m mounted o on t the t trunk o of a a convertible, t the t tail s should n not b be s shortened! Figure 4: Shortening the antenna tail After the precise length of the tail has been determined, the adhesive strip may be

Installing on Sedans The antenna module should be located along the centerline of the roof, at least 4 inches from the rear window. Figure 7: Installed antenna The antenna cables should be tucked and routed underneath the rubber molding around the rear window and into the trunk. Note: Routing the cable in the window molding will not affect the sealing of the window. 1. Clean the general area where the antenna is to be mounted (using the provided alcohol wipe). 2. Identify and mark the precise l

Figure 9: Cables routed separately Two types of window moldings (Outside and Encapsulated) are used on most vehi- cles. Both are suitable for concealing the antenna cable. Figure 10: Outside rubber molding (most common) Figure 11: Encapsulated molding (less common) Note: The window molding will be more flexible and easier to work with at room tem- perature or above. Ensure the molding is clean, and if necessary apply a small amount of oil to make the process easier. It is important that the coax

7. If there is no suitable cable channel, the cable may be routed directly from the window molding to the right or left corner of the trunk. Figure 15: Cable routing along the trunk rubber molding It may be necessary to remove the plastic housings from the antenna connectors in order to feed the cables through narrow openings. Note: Remember to reconnect the correct housing to its corresponding cable. Figure 16 Removing connector housings Most Sirius receivers (including the Kenwood KTC-SR901) h

Installing on Convertibles On convertibles the antenna module should be located on the centerline of the trunk approximately 6 inches from the rear window. WARNING: Mounting the antenna on the trunk will only work with convertibles. For all other types of vehicles mount the antenna on the roof. Figure 18: Mounted on trunk of convertible 1. Follow steps 1 to 4 under "Installing on Sedans" to attach the antenna module to the vehicle. 2. Route the cable from the rim further underneath the lid (use

3. Drill a small hole or cut a gap into the rubber sleeve and lead the cable through the interior trim to the receiver. Figure 21: Entering the interior through the cable channel Note: Many convertibles have composite trunk lids. In such cases it will be necessary to create a metal "ground plane". This can be done by gluing aluminum foil (at least 2 square feet) underneath the trunk lid between the composite lid and the liner. Figure 22: Antenna mounting on a composite trunk lid It is important

Installing on SUVs, Minivans and 5-Door Vehicles The antenna module should be located on the centerline of the roof, not less than 4 inches from the gap between the roof and tailgate: Figure 23: Minivan with Antenna Module Note t the f following: • If the vehicle is equipped with a roof rack, the crossbar should be placed at least 6 inches away from the antenna module. Figure 24: Preferred mounting location • It may be necessary to locate the antenna to the right or left of center in order to a

2. Route the cable between the roof and the tailgate to the inside. Take advantage of any existing cable channel or wiring conduit. 3. There are two alternative methods to route the cable under the headliner and to the receiver: a. The cable may be routed to the cable channel, lift up the channel and go through the small opening and push the cable directly between sheet metal and headliner. This option is recommended. The cable and the receiver may be concealed behind the interior trim in the ba

Mounting on Pickup Trucks The antenna module should be mounted on the centerline of the roof approximately 4 inches from the rear of the cab. The cables may be routed into the cab through the brake light cavity. Figure 29: Pickup truck with antenna module 1. Follow steps 1 to 4 under "Installing on Sedans" to attach the antenna module to the vehicle. Note: If the molding of the brakelight is made of rigid plastic/composite, it may be necessary to drill a small hole or slot to route the cable. Se
