First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

For factory-fitted radio or navigation systems, the aerial for radio reception can be installed in various locations in the vehicle:

  • On the inside of the rear window, together with the rear window heating.
  • On the inside of the rear side windows.
  • On the inside of the windscreen.
  • On the roof of the vehicle.

Aerials on the interior of the windows can be identified by thin wires.

NOTICE

Aerials located on the inside of the windows can be damaged by corrosive or acidic detergents, any other chemicals or if hard objects chafe against the window. Never apply stickers over the window aerials and never clean the aerials with corrosive or acidic detergents or any other chemicals.
Interference of AM radio reception could occur if electrical devices are used in the vicinity of the aerials in the windows.
