Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject 

If the radio and navigation systems were installed at the factory, the radio antenna may be installed in different locations in the vehicle:

• On the inside of the rear window with the rear window defroster,

• On the inside of the rear side windows,

• On the inside of the windshield,

• On the vehicle roof.

Antennas on the insides of windows are thin wires.

Note

Antennas installed on the insides of windows can be damaged by abrasive objects or by corrosive or acidic cleaning agents or other chemicals. Do not place any stickers on the windshield-integrated antenna and never clean the antenna with corrosive or acidic cleaning agents or other chemicals.

If electrical devices are operated close to the integrated windshield antenna, interference with AM radio reception may occur.
