RECEIVER-SATELLITE
DESCRIPTION
The satellite receiver module is located behind the spare tire. It is mounted to a bracket which is fastened to the trunk floor sheet metal.
OPERATION
The satellite receiver module receives signals from the roof mounted antenna and processes this information before it is sent to the radio. The module operates on both battery and accessory feed circuits and will operate with the ignition key in the RUN or ACCESSORY position only.
