4. Protect the cable and its (male) SMA connector from damage, dirt, and/or metal shavings which may
be generated during the mechanical and electrical installation of the radio. Temporarily tying the
connector and cable-end in a small plastic bag is recommended.
The antenna cable will be connected to the radio’s SMA receptacle-type (female) RF connector in a
procedure presented in Section 12.2.
7.2.8 Installing a GPS Antenna Inside the Rear-Deck
The following GPS antenna installation procedure is recommended for inside-rear-deck mounting of GPS
receive-only antennas, such as AN-025187-001 or AN-025187-003. Many vehicle makes/models, such as
the Ford
®
Crown Victoria
®
, may use this installation method:
1. Carefully remove the center
rear brake light assembly by
removing the screws on each side of the
assembly. Lift and
set it aside.
2.
Route the cable from the GPS antenna through the rear deck,
next to the cable assembly for the rear brake light.
3. Position the antenna near the rear glass.
For an antenna that is not a magnetic-
mount, secure it to the
deck near the rear glass in accordance with the instructions
provided with the GPS antenna.
4. Reassemble the rear deck brake light assembly.
Use caution not crimp/pinch the GPS coaxial cable. A small
relief notch may need
to be cut in the housing of the light
assembly cable passage.
5.
Protect the cable and its (male) SMA connector from damage, dirt, and/or metal shavings which may
be generated during the mechanical and electrical installation of the radio. Temporarily tyi
ng the
connector and cable-end in a small plastic bag is recommended.
6. Route the cable to the area near where the radio will be installed.
7.
Tie and stow the antenna cable as necessary to prevent cable chafing or damage from moving items,
like the trunk lid’s hinges and springs.
The antenna cable is connected to the radio’s SMA receptacle-type (female) RF connector using
a
procedure presented later in this manual (i.e., procedure on page 88).
