Radio, Stereo, and Compact Disc: Service and Repair
Satellite radio
Satellite radio
Note! During installation the underlying surface must be kept at a temperature of at least +15˚C (59˚F). Do not wash the car within 48 hours after installation is completed. Allow the car to remain inside for at least two hours after installation is completed if outside temperature is less than +15˚C (59˚F). Steps 3-10 and 14-16 apply to cars without RTI, CD changer, Digital Jukebox or SAT preparation in which the DIN cable must then be routed from the radio to the Sirius control module.
Preparations
- Move the left-hand front seat to its rear position.
- Turn the ignition switch to position 0.
- Remove the ignition key (does not apply to cars with automatic transmission).
- Disconnect the battery negative lead.
Note! Wait at least five minutes before disassembling the connectors or removing other electrical equipment.
Steps 3-10 apply to cars without RTI, CD changer, Digital Jukebox or SAT preparation.
- Detach the panel (1) with the gear selector lever boot using a weatherstrip tool.
- Engage the handbrake and move the gear selector lever towards the rear.
- Pull the panel with gaiter rearward and turn as illustrated.
- Remove the screws from the dashboard environment panel.
- Angle the dashboard environment panel outwards so that it is possible to insert a couple of fingers between the centre console and the reverse of the panel.
- Remove the dashboard environment panel. Pull it downward, maintaining the same angle. Some force is required because the panel is tightly installed.
- Disconnect the connectors on the reverse of the dashboard environment panel. Place the dashboard environment panel to one side.
Note! If any of the outer hooks break off, these must be repaired. The method for this can be found in the Workshop Manual in the section about the dashboard.
- Remove the screws (1) in the radio console.
- Pull out the console with the radio. Pull the lower corner while pressing downwards.
- Disconnect the connectors on the radio and put the console with radio to the side.
- Move the left front seat to its rearmost position
- Remove the left-hand side panel (1) of the centre console by turning the screw clip and pulling the panel outwards/backwards.
- Remove the sill trim panel (2) at the left front door.
- Fold aside the carpet to provide access to the air ducts (1).
- Remove the seat cushion from the left rear seat (1) by lifting the front edge of the cushion and pulling forward.
- Remove the sill trim panel (2) at the left-hand rear door.

Cable routing, steps 14-16, applies to cars without RTI, CD changer, Digital Jukebox or SAT preparation.
- Take the DIN cable from the kit, lift up the floor carpet and route it underneath, up between the front air duct (1) and the strut (2) for the centre console.
Note! Make sure that it is the connector with a guide pin which points upward (see illustration), which is routed to the radio socket.
- Route the cable through the compartment for the radio.
- Clamp the cable in the strut (3), using the clamp from the kit.
- Route the cable on above and alongside the front air duct to the member (4) for the seat mounting.

- Route the DIN cable under the four connectors in the front cable duct.
Installing the Sirius antenna. Applies to all models
- Wash the area on the roof around where the antenna and antenna cable shall be located using a mixture of washer fluid and water.
- Also wash the area around the left-hand hinge of the boot lid where the antenna cables shall be secured using a mixture of washer fluid and water.
Note! Thoroughly remove all dirt and grease.
- Wipe dry.
- Take the antenna from the kit
- Place the antenna to the back of the cleaned roof without removing the protective backing tape.
- The antenna must be located so that the end of the cable's rubber coated section exactly reaches the end of the roof.
- Measure from both sides of the roof to the antenna. The measurement must be approx. 525 mm (20 43/64").
- Hold the antenna to the roof and mark out around it with tape so that the correct position for it is marked.
- Enlist help from a colleague to sit inside the car and press against the headlining under the location for the antenna.
- Remove the protective backing tape from underneath the antenna and locate it within the tape markings.
Hint: The antenna can be moved carefully if it is not pressed down straight away. The tape must not make contact with the roof as the antenna has a rubber edge around the underside.
- Hold against the roof from the inside while the antenna is pressed in straight down with a force of 2-3 kg (4-6 lbf.) for several seconds.
Antenna cable routing. Applies to all models
- Remove the left-hand rear window moulding by pulling it straight down so that it detaches from the roof moulding.
- Following which, carefully pull it from the clips. Try out different angles and pushing the moulding up or down.
Note! If the clips are in the correct position then not too much force will be required to detach them.
- Remove the clips from the moulding and from the D-post. They shall be replaced with new ones.
- Remove the plastic moulding which is fitted around the upper edge of the rear window by pushing it straight back from the edge of the window. Pull away the moulding completely or so that it at least half is detached from the window.
- Secure the antenna cables inside the plastic moulding using butyl tape. Secure the cables at regular intervals so that the antenna cables cannot edge forwards when the car is washed.
- Press back the moulding with the cables remaining inside the plastic moulding's cavity.
Note! The cables must not be routed in the groove around the edge of the window.
- Route the antenna cables on down along the edge of the rear window and secure them with butyl tape under the protruding edge of the window.
- Continue down to the hinge of the boot lid.
- Pull the cable out at the rubber grommet (1)
- Cut the plastic clamp (2) and remove it from the rubber grommet.
- 25 Widen the rubber grommet using a screwdriver or expanding pliers and press through the antenna cables' connectors, one at a time.
Illustration A
- Pull the antenna cables in through the hole and into the cargo compartment.
- Reinstall the rubber grommet.
- Following which, tension the cables.
- Secure the cables as illustrated using cloth tape from the kit.
Hint: Securing the cables beside each other is facilitated with a little butyl tape and then by taping over them.
Illustration B
- Continue to tape the cables as illustrated.
- Tape down the cables almost up to the existing cable which enters the rubber grommet.
- Leave a little flexibility and then secure the antenna cables at the existing cable with several rounds of tape.
- Try to conceal the antenna cables under the existing cable.
