The optimum mounting location for the antenna is
on the roof of the vehicle, with a minimum
unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and
exactly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the
vehicle(thelengthoftherubberantennacable
cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions
that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such
as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo
containers,orotherantennas.
The following illustrations show the recommended
mounting locations of the antenna for several types
of vehicles. Follow these recommendations for best
performance from the antenna.
Sedan/Coupe: Mount the antenna along the rear
centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of
the roof near the rear window.
SUV/Mini-Van:Mount the antenna along the rear
centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of
the roof near the rear door/hatch.
