Antenna Wiring, Assembly Overview







Example:

Wiring from radio to antenna is defective.

Following wires are required for repair:
1. Adapter lead for connection to radio, length approx. 30 cm.
2. Connecting wire, available in various wire lengths
3. Adapter lead for connection to antenna, length approx. 30 cm.

- Separate the connectors of the faulty antenna wiring from their components.
- Determine the path of the faulty antenna wire in the vehicle and measure the total length of antenna wire to be replaced.
Entire length of antenna wire consists of length of required adapter leads - 1 - and - 3 - as well as connecting wire - 2 - .

- Subtract 60 cm from measured total length of antenna wire to obtain required length of connecting wire to be installed.
- Obtain necessary adapter leads and connecting wire of calculated length as genuine replacement parts in line with Parts List.
- Cut connectors off of faulty antenna wiring.
- Leave rest of faulty antenna wire in vehicle.

- Connect adapter leads to devices in vehicle.
- Fit connectors with section of foam sheathing to prevent rattling noise.
- Route and secure connecting wire parallel to old antenna wire.

NOTE: Antenna wires must not be kinked or excessively bent. Bending radius must never be below 50 mm.

- Connect connecting wire with adapter leads.
- To prevent rattling noise, provide aerial connectors with a suitable section of foam sheathing.
- Perform a function test.
