Vibe XM Installation Guides

Post by Jahntassa »

Alright, just to help out. I'm building a page with what i've done to my Vibe as far as XM and Audio goes. So far I just have how I routed the antenna. As soon as I open up the dash again, i'll put up some more specifics.http://www.vidrenlabs.com/vibe.html

Is the roady antenna cable long enough for that run? or did you need an extension?
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

I think I had a little extra too, like..six inches worth.Don't run the antenna down before the back seats tho. I did that with my first one and ended up ripping the wire by moving the seats.
