How Do You Install A Satellite Radio Antenna?
The biggest concern for potential satellite radio users is the installation of the radio antenna and dressing the cable properly, from the exterior of the car to the interior. By following the manufacturer’s guidelines and taking a little time, you will be able to install a satellite radio antenna that will obtain the clearest signal and be unobtrusive to the appearance of your vehicle. Find the proper location to mount the magnetic antenna for your satellite radio receiver. You should install the antenna at the highest point of your car, so that it will be able to pick up the satellite signal clearly in all directions. If you mount the antenna on the side of the car, on the trunk or on the dashboard, you will block the signal as the car moves, causing the broadcasts to drop out. Space the antenna at least 3 inches from the edge of any door, window or hatch, using the supplied 3-inch rubber boot to cover the exposed section of cable. Make sure the antenna is also at least 3 inches away
