D. Installing the 2 Generation SDARS antenna





1. Loosen the T25 Torx screw (A, Figure 5) in the antenna sleeve.

2. Feed the antenna lead (B, Figure 5), from the top side of the trunk lid, through the 14 mm hole.

3. Carefully insert the SDARS antenna sleeve into the 14 mm hole until it audibly engages.

NOTICE!
Applying force to body panels can result in damage.

Excessive force will dent the trunk lid. Do not use excessive force when inserting antenna sleeve into the 14 mm hole.





4. Align the SDARS antenna straight with the vertical end (A, Figure 6) facing the vehicle front and the beveled end (B, Figure 6) the vehicle rear.

5. Apply light downward pressure to the SDARS antenna so to the gasket fully seats flush against the trunk lid.

NOTICE!
Applying force to body panels can result in damage.

Excessive force will dent the trunk lid. Do not use excessive force when seating the gasket to the trunk lid.

6. Tighten, but do not over tighten, the T25 Torx screw (A, Figure 5) in the SDARS antenna sleeve while holding the antenna from above to prevent it from turning.





7. Peel back the felt tape (Figure 7) from the trunk lid underside to expose the preinstalled antenna leads.





8. Connect the SDARS antenna lead (A, Figure 8) to the preinstalled antenna male lead (B, Figure 8).

Note:
Make sure the connector locks into the plastic connector lock.

Note:
There is no use for the preinstalled antenna female lead (C, Figure 8) with the 2nd Generation antenna.





9. Secure the coupled antenna leads and loose cabling to the trunk lid underside with felt tape (Figure 9).
