Appendix B –Installation Notes
The first choice for power connections should always be at the
ignition column. An industry standard poke-tape-tie-wrap method should
be used to secure connections. If column is unobtainable or there is
too many other devices wired to the column, then going to the input
wires behind the fuse box can be a valid alternative. If connections
must be made to fuses at the fuse box, then using a fuse tap pictured
below is acceptable, but should be a “last resort.”
Antenna placement is optimal underneath a removable plastic cover near
the windshield on the top of the dashboard. If no removable cover is
present, then removing the front dash bezel, the radio or instrument
cluster to gain access to under the dashboard is good. Behind the
plastic A pillar cover also works well, but should be a second choice.
If the dashboard is metal and/or not enough clearance is present
behind the A pillar, then mount the antenna at either top center of
the windshield behind the rear view mirror, or at the top right corner
of the windshield.
