Mounting the antenna
The antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle owner prior to installation, since the antenna may
be visible to the vehicle’s operator.
The best location for the receiver/antenna is centered high on either the front or rear windshield. For optimal
range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally in relation to the windshield
or under the dashboard away from metal, but range will be diminished. Window tint or dot matrix (small
black dots at top of windshield) can also affect range, so this should be a consideration when determining
the mounting location.
After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:
1. Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.
2. Plug the receiver/antenna cable into the receiver/antenna.
3. Mount the receiver/antenna using the supplied double-sided tape.
4. Route the receiver/antenna cable to the control module and plug it into the four-pin antenna connec
tor.
Important: To achieve the best possible range, DO NOT leave the an-
tenna cable bundled under the dash. Always extend the cable full length
during installation, regardless of the antenna mounting location.
