3 Mounting the TV antenna

Mount the film antenna qf to the car and connect the TV main unit.

For directions on connecting the TV main unit, see also “1 Car Systems Connections (complete
connection diagram)” on pages 8-10.

• It may not be possible to mount the antenna on some cars.

- In cars with glass that does not transmit radio waves

(infrared reflecting glass, insulated glass, glass that is opaque
to electromagnetic waves, etc.), the signal reception will be
extremely poor.

- The antenna cannot be mounted in cars which have airbags

in the front pillars.

• Mount the antenna to the front window, in the specified

location and according to the specified dimensions.
- The supplied film antenna is designed for attaching only to

the front window.  If attached to the rear window or
elsewhere in the car, the signal reception may be extremely
poor.

Have the following items handy before beginning the mounting
procedure.
• Tools (Philips screwdriver, etc.)
• Cellophane tape
• Scissors
• Spray bottle (fill with 500 ml water and one or two drops of

detergent)

• Paper towels

Once you have mounted the film
antenna, do not attempt to remove it and
attach it again, as the adhesive will be
considerably weakened.  Be sure to
temporarily fasten the cable and antenna
in place and check that the cable has
sufficient play before permanently
attaching.

• During the mounting procedure, it will

be necessary to remove the front pillar
molding to [attach a ground wire].
When performing the installation
yourself, if you decide it is too difficult
to remove the front pillar molding,
please contact your dealer for
assistance.  (Note that your dealer may
charge a fee for their assistance.)

Mount the film antennas to the inside of
the front window.  Do not mount the
antennas anywhere other than the
location described here.

Using the supplied cleaning cloth w; to
wipe away any oil, wax, or dust tat may
be on the window.

Check the film antenna qf mounting position.

1 Align the film antenna power supply point with the lower

edge of the window’s ceramic line and fasten temporarily
in place with cellophane tape.
Do not remove the adhesive backing from the antenna yet.
The figure below shows the results of this step, for the left
antenna.  Temporarily position the right antenna in the
same manner.

2 Mark the left and right sides of the film antenna, using

cellophane tape, etc.

(The above figure shows an example of a car, such as a sedan
or SUV, which as a handle mounted on the front pillar.)
