Before attaching
• Remove the film antenna, which you
previously fastened temporarily in
place, before beginning these steps.
• Cover the dashboard with a cloth to
protect it from the water and detergent.
• Clean the front window well to remove
any dirt, oil, or anti-fogging agent
before beginning these steps.

Attach film antenna
qf
.
1
Using a spray bottle, wet the inside of the front window
well with a mild detergent solution. The optimal solution
is 500 ml of water with one or two drops of detergent.
(Pure water will not work well for making fine
adjustments.)
2
Remove the clear backing from the film antenna. Using
the spray bottle, wet the exposed surface well with the
mild detergent solution.
• Grasp the peel-off tab and peel the clear backing off
slowly.
• Do not remove the protective sheet from the other side
(the side that faces the inside of the car) yet. You will
remove that sheet in step 4.
• Take care not to get dirt or fingerprints on the exposed
surface of the film antenna.
3
Stick the film antenna to the front window.
When attaching the film antenna
• Position the antenna vertically by
aligning the upper edge of the antenna
with the lower edge of the ceramic line.
Position it horizontally by aligning the
edges with the marking (cellophane
tape, etc.) that you previously placed
on the window.
• Do not let the front window get dry as
you are working. Spray it again with
the detergent solution as needed.
• Until the front window dries, you can
slide the antenna to adjust its position.
• When you have the antenna positioned
where you want it, remove the
markings.

Use the supplied squeegee
qj
to make sure the film
antenna is well attached to the window.
• Hold the antenna so it does not move while using the
squeegee.
• Work from the center of the antenna outward.
• Work the squeegee along the length of the antenna,
pushing out air bubbles to obtain a good seal.
• Do not rub the antenna too hard.
5
Use paper towels to wipe away the excess detergent
solution and dry the antenna well.
We recommend you let the antenna dry for 3-4 hours.
Do not try to rush the drying process by using a hair dryer
or other heater. Doing so may damage the film antenna.
4
Attach the power supply terminal to the film
antenna
qf
.
1
Remove the power supply point protective sheet from the
film antenna.
2
Attach the antenna input cable
qg
to the film antenna
power supply terminals.
• The same type of cable is used for both the left and right
antennas.
• Temporarily fastening the cable near the ground
connection with cellophane tape will make the
procedure easier.
Note
Make sure that the film antenna is
completely dry before continuing with
the mounting procedure. Continuing
before the antenna is dry may cause it to
come off the window.
The color of the protective sheet is used
to distinguish the left and right
antennas.
The right antenna (as seen from inside
the car) has a blue protective sheet, and
the left antenna has a white protective
sheet. Take care to mount the antennas
on the proper side of the car.
Connecting to the power supply
terminals
Align the protrusions on the power
supply terminals with the arrows

on
the film antenna and fasten in place.

Pass the antenna input cable
qg
through the roof lining
(inner roof panel).
5
Route the antenna input cable
qg
.
1
Apply the grounding tape
qh
to the car body.
Apply the grounding tape to the metal of the car body, in a
position where it can contact the ground contact on the
antenna input cable.
2
Affix the ground contact on the antenna input cable to the
grounding tape
qh
.
Peel off the protective sheet from the ground contact and
stick it completely to the grounding tape. Make sure that
no portion of the ground contact protrudes beyond the
grounding tape, and that there is no part of the ground
contact which is not firmly stuck to the grounding tape.
Notes
• Pull the roof lining down slightly and
thread the cable under it.
• Take care not to pull too hard on the
lining and bend it out of shape.
• Perform this step while holding on to
the power supply point to avoid
putting stress on that point.
• Route the antenna input cable carefully
to avoid pulling excessively on,
applying stress to, or kinking the cable.
Notes
• Carefully wipe away any dirt on the
attachment surface.
• Be sure to stick the grounding tape
completely to a flat, metal part of the
car body. Do not apply the grounding
tape to a place that is not flat, or over a
clip or screw hole. Do not scrape off
the finish on the car body.

Route the antenna input cable, using the supplied antenna
cord clamp
ql
to hold it in place.
Rout the cable so that it will be completely covered when
the front pillar molding is replaced.
6
Mount the TV antenna amplifier unit
qd
.
1
Mount the TV antenna amplifier unit.
Mount the unit near the floor in the foot area in front of
the passenger’s seat, in a location where the cables will
reach the expansion unit. (Be sure to wipe away any dirt
on the mounting surface.)
Important note
Use tape or other fasteners to route the
cables such that they cannot interfere
with vehicle operation. Do not wrap the
cables around the steering column, gear
shift lever, brake pedal, etc.
Important note
It would be extremely dangerous if the
TV antenna amplifier unit were to get
stuck underneath the brake pedal. Be
sure to mount the amplifier on the
passenger’s side.
