4. Open the upper compartment and lift out the false floor (Figure 23).

5. Remove the knockout from the false floor by applying pressure from underneath (Arrows, Figure 23).

Note:
Be careful not to crack or break the false floor by applying excessive force while removing the knockout.





6. Find the kit-included contact plate (A, Figure 24) and identify the male FAKRA antenna lead (B, Figure 24) and the power supply male connector (C, Figure 24).





7. Feed the contact plate leads through the knockout hole from the topside of the false floor (Figure 25).





8. Carefully snap the contact plate into the false floor knockout hole (Figure 26).

Note:
Be careful not to crack or break the false floor by applying excessive force while snapping in the contact plate.





9. Find the female power supply connector (A, Figure 27) and female FAKRA connector (B, Figure 27) within the console harness.





10. Connect the male FAKRA antenna lead from the contact plate to the female FAKRA connector from the console harness (A, Figure 28).

11. Connect the power supply male connector from the contact plate to the power supply female connector from the console harness (B, Figure 28).

12. Snap the coupled connectors into the channel clips (A and B, Figure 28), route the harness through the channel and under the existing clip (C, Figure 28).

13. Use the two kit-included clips (Arrows, Figure 28) to secure the remaining loose harness.
