BE CAREFUL:
STOP and read
the more detailed
instructions — or get
a pro to help if you
don’t understand what
to do next. You might
accidentally do damage
to your ride.
BE SAFE:
Not properly placing
or installing the
antenna can create
safety hazards during
an accident.
BE SMART:
A dry car is nice.
Avoid damaging
or compromising
the window and
trunk seals.
BE SMART:
Use a tool like a blunt
plastic putty knife to
help hide wires along
the trim.

BE SMART:
Because of the various
FM antennas found
in vehicles and their
numerous locations,
SIRIUS suggests pro-
fessional installation
of this item. Consult
your User Guide for
more info.
BE CAREFUL:
Test mount your FEA
rst using the suction
cup mounts provided.
Once a good location
has been found, per-
manently adhere the
FEA using the adhesive
mounts.
BE SMART:
Clean the area where
the suction cups will
be mounted with the
supplied alcohol swab.
BE SAFE:
In some states it may
not be legal to put
the FEA on the front
windshield glass. In
these cases, the FEA
should be mounted on
the A-Pillar adjacent
to the FM antenna.
BE SMART:
Be sure FEA is as
close to FM antenna
as possible.
FM Antenna options for other vehicles.
