with mirror type glass film
– Where it overlaps with genuine radio
antenna (pattern)

wires
– At side of vehicle (e.g. door, front quarter
window)
– On rear window
– When glass that blocks radio signals (e.g.
IR reflecting glass, thermal insulation glass)

Installation overview
DAB antenna F/ G
Antenna cable
(3.5 m)
■
The antenna should be installed on the
passenger side for safety.
■
Use cord clamper H to secure the antenna
to the pillar at several locations.
■
The direction of the antenna film F
changes depending on whether the film
antenna F is installed on the right side or
left side.
■
Separate the antenna film F from the
ceramic line (black part) at the top of the
front glass by 150 mm.
Also, place it about 70 mm inside the
ceramic line at the side end of the front
glass. (where the earth sheet of the amplifier
can be pasted on the metal part of the front
pillar)
■
Separate from other antennas by at least
100 mm.
■
Do not paste the amplifier G on the
ceramic line (black part) around the
front glass. Because there is not enough
adhesion.
