Antenna: Description and Operation

SYSTEM OPERATION

Rear Defogger / Antenna Module:

The integrated rear window antenna incorporates the rear window defogger and a electronic module to receive radio signals. The module is located in the right C-pillar behind the trim panel.

The FM signal is received via the heated portion of the rear window defogger grid. The AM signal is received via two isolated unheated lines along the top of the rear window.

NOTE:
- If aftermarket window shading is added, it cannot be of the metallic type. Metallic type window shading can cause poor radio reception.
- If an accessory cellular phone glass mount antenna is installed, it should only be along the center of the window, not touching any conductive lines in the area indicated.
