SUV Installation

Feed the antenna cable underneath the rubber weather stripping of the rear tailgate window/door and route the cable along the rear hatch.

Lift the weather stripping from the opening and tuck the cable inside it. Then replace the weather stripping. Pull the cable out from weather stripping and route it into the cabin under the interior trim. Avoid hinges or gears that could crimp or cut the cable.

Route the cable through the SUV's main cabin area under the interior trim, towards the front of the vehicle.

Use a plastic putty knife to lift the plastic trim just enough to tuck the cable underneath. Avoid side airbag locations on back pillars and above the doors. (Airbag locations are marked with "SRS" logos.) Be careful not to crimp or cut the cable.

Bring the cable out from the trim near the dashboard and route it under the carpet toward the dashboard or console.

Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable with wire ties.

Bring the end of the cable out at the SiriusXM Radio location. Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily connect it to the antenna connector (sometimes marked ANT, ANT IN, or ANTENNA) of the SiriusXM Radio or Vehicle Dock.

Route cable around windshield

Feed the antenna cable underneath the rubber molding around the rear window. Use a plastic putty knife or similar object to lift the rubber molding around the rear window and tuck the antenna cable underneath.

Route the antenna cable around and down the window to the lowest point.

If your rear window does not have rubber molding, SiriusXM recommends consulting with a professional installer.
