The antenna systems fitted to the vehicle comprise:

FM ANTENNAS

FM Antenna Amplifier



The AM/FM antennas are located in the side and rear widow. ON vehicles with the low line audio system the AM/FM antenna is located in the RH rear side screen. On vehicles with a high line audio systems the system will be equipped with FM diversity tuning. This system ensures that the strongest of two signals is used by the radio system to ensure the best possible FM reception. The standard AM/FM antenna is screen mounted in the RH rear side window and is connected to an antenna amplifier located above the screen. The diversity system uses the same side window antenna and amplifier but also uses a rear heated screen element antenna and an FM antenna amplifier mounted at the top of the rear screen in the tail gate.

TMC ANTENNA AMPLIFIER



The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) signals are received through the normal radio signals via the RDS network. The signals are routed separately form the radio signals via a separate antenna amplifier located on the RH rear side window.   Navigation System (419-07 Navigation System)


GPS ANTENNA



The GPS antenna is located in the RH side of the upper tailgate mounted spoiler. The GPS antenna is connected to the navigation computer by a coaxial cable.   Navigation System (419-07 Navigation System)


TV ANTENNA

TV Antenna Amplifier



Where a television system is specified there are four TV antenna elements two in each of the rear side windows. Each element has an antenna amplifier which is connected to the TV tuner module by a coaxial cable.   Video System (415-07 Video System)


MULTIBAND TELEPHONE ANTENNA

Multiband Telephone Antenna



The multiband telephone antenna is located in the roof mounted pod, which is located in the centre of the roof at the rear of the vehicle and is connected directly to the Telephone Control Module (TCM) via a single coaxial cable.   Cellular Phone (419-08 Cellular Phone)


SATELLITE DIGITAL AUDIO RADIO SYSTEM (SDARS) ANTENNA (NAS ONLY)

SDARS antenna



The SDARS antenna is located in the roof mounted pod, which is located in the centre of the roof at the rear of the vehicle. The SDARS antenna has two connections to the SDARS tuner, one for satellite transmissions the other for terrestrial transmissions from repeater stations.

The antenna comprises two antenna elements:

The two antennas allow the system to receive SDARS transmissions in built up areas where signals form satellites would normally be blocked.   Audio System (415-01 Audio Unit)


VICS ANTENNAS (Japan only)

VICS Beacon Antenna



The VICS control module uses the rear RH side window antenna to receive VICS information. The Control module also uses an infra red beacon antenna located in the middle on top of the instrument panel adjacent to the sunlight sensor.   Navigation System (419-07 Navigation System)
