Antenna

The antenna is located at the top-rear of the roof panel. The antenna can be either an AM/FM antenna, or a combination AM/FM/satellite radio antenna if the vehicle is equipped with satellite audio.

AM/FM Antenna Cable

The front AM/FM antenna cable is connected to the ACM and has an in-line connector (located behind the RH kick-panel) to the antenna cable. The rear AM/FM antenna cable runs along the roof of the vehicle to the antenna.

While the front AM/FM antenna cable can be serviced, the rear AM/FM antenna cable is part of the wiring harness and not serviceable. If the rear antenna cable needs to be replaced, cut the ends and leave the cable in the wiring harness. Route the new cable on top of the wiring harness and secure it with wire ties. Do not cut into the wiring harness to remove the existing antenna cable.

Satellite Antenna Cable

The satellite antenna cable is part of the vehicle wiring harness. If it is necessary to install a new satellite antenna cable, the new cable should be overlaid on the harness and secured as necessary.

Satellite Audio

The satellite audio system is comprised of the following:

- Satellite Digital Audio Receiver System (SDARS) module (integral to the ACM)
