Installation

- Secure the contact on the new antenna in the same location in the connector housing.

- Remove the storage compartment in the center of the instrument panel.

- Route the new antenna wire from the connector housing to the Access/start authorization control module (J518) along the existing wiring harness to the location of the storage compartment in the center of the instrument panel.
