Convertible Installation

Route the cable from the trunk lid

Bring the antenna cable 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

Route the cable along the trunk wall and into the cabin through a conduit or along an existing wiring harness.

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 through the main cabin area.

Route the cable under the interior trim, towards the front of the vehicle. Use a plastic putty knife to lift the plastic trim just enough to tuck the cable underneath. Avoid any airbag locations. (Airbag locations are marked with "SRS" logos.) Be careful not to crimp or cut the cable.

Bring the cable out from under the trim near the dashboard 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

Bring the end of the cable out at the Radio location. Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily connect it to the antenna connector (sometimes marked ANT, ANT IN, or ANTENNA) of the Vehicle Dock.

Route cable around windshield

Feed the antenna cable underneath the rubber molding around the rear window. Use a plastic putty knife or similar object to lift the rubber molding around the rear window and tuck the antenna cable underneath.

Route the antenna cable around and down the window to the lowest point.

If your rear window does not have rubber molding, SiriusXM recommends consulting with a professional installer.
