Design and Function
1
AM reception is received via the integrated antenna above the rear windshield heating loops.
The antenna is connected to an antenna amplifier positioned on the left-hand C-post.
The FM waveband uses a diversity system consisting of two antennas. One of the diversity system antennas is integrated in the rear windshield heating
loops, the other is in the rear bumper.
Only cars with factory-installed radios have an antenna amplifier for the diversity system. After market accessory radios may require installation of an
after market accessory antenna amplifier for the diversity system for interference free FM reception.
