Appendix A: Tips for Identifying the FM Antenna
Correctly identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna is a key to successfully installing the
FEA. The preceding installation section already showed you the different kinds of FM
antennas found on vehicles. However, there are several types of antennas found on
vehicles that you may at first believe to be the FM antenna but which in reality are not.
Instead they may actually be GPS, OnStar
®
, cell phone, factory-installed satellite radio
antennas, or another type of antenna.
Please be aware of the following when identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna:
Puck-type antennas and shark-fin type antennas are never the FM antenna.
Figure 36 shows several types of these antennas which should not be mistaken for
an FM antenna. If you have located one of these types of antennas on your vehicle
you can be certain that it’s not the FM antenna. Continue your search to find the
actual FM antenna.
