Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Antennas For Digital TV Receiver
The two antennas receive the transmitted digital TV signals and send these to the digital TV receiver. The antennas are voltage fed and ground from the TV receiver. A supply voltage of approx. 5 V is fed via the antenna cable's conductor and is ground via the cable's screen.
On each antenna, under the cover, is a status LED that lights when the digital TV receiver is on and the antenna is OK. If the system is on and the LED is not lit, there is either a fault on the antenna, its cables or the supply from the TV receiver.
The antennas are installed underneath the upper side corners on the rear bumpers.
