    1) Put the antenna on the edge of the roofline near the windshield.

    2) Carefully thread the cable (be careful, it's small for this reason) underneath the narrow/thin weatherstipping between the glass and the sheetmetal.

    3) Route it along the windshield and down towards the cowl until you get to the hood edge.

    4) Gently wrap the wire "around" the windshield pillar and pull up the pillar weatherstip and insert the cable under and thru to the other side.

    5) Pop up side panel (half moon shape) and insert cable into dash area.

    6) Thread cable thru inside of dash by removing appropriate panels until you get the area where you've mounted the satellite unit.

    7) Thread cable out to unit and hook up.

    Worked for me.
