7.3 Technique 2
The second option for routing the cable from
the antenna to the IDU, which may be used
by trained installers, is to drill a small point
of entry (POE) into the vehicle’s roof or
body. Only a highly trained and qualified
technician should perform this task. Take
special care when drilling holes into the
vehicle. Appropriate watertight seals should
be used.
NOTE
Do not fold or kink the cable.
Any bends should be gradual
and kept to a 1cm bend radius to avoid
damaging the cable and degrading received
satellite signals.

7.2.2 Routing Cables Through Two
Panels
Another technique for bringing the antenna
cable into an existing POE is to route the
cable between two body panels of the
vehicle (Figure -). The antenna cable may
be small enough for certain vehicles. Take
every precaution to protect the vehicle from
body damage and water infiltration. If the
space between two body panels is too small,
look for an alternate routing option.
7 Installing the Antenna Cable
the improper drilling or installation of the
antenna cable through the roof or body
of the vehicle or for water damage or
other damage resulting from the drilling
of a POE. Only a trained automotive
technician should perform this installation.
