DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data.
In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called “services”) to form one “ensemble.” The “primary component” (main radio station) is sometimes accompanied by a “secondary component” which can contain extra programs or other information. Preparation: 1 Connect a DAB antenna to the DAB input terminal. ( 16) 2 Press B SRC or DAB to select DAB. 3 Press and hold DAB to start the Service List update. “LIST UPDATE” appears and update starts. “UPDATED” appears when update completes.

• The film antenna (F) is exclusively for use inside the vehicle. • Do not install at the following locations: – where it may block the driver’s view. – where it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air bags. – on movable glass surfaces such as the rear hatch. – at side of vehicle (e.g. door, front quarter window). – on rear window. • Signal strength will weaken when installed at the following locations: – on IR reflecting glass or locations covered with mirror type glass film. – where it overlaps with genuine radio antenna (pattern). – where it overlaps with window heating wires. – on glass that blocks radio signals (e.g. IR reflecting glass, thermal insulation glass). • Poor reception may occur: – due to noise when windscreen wiper, air conditioner, or motor is turned on. – depending on the direction of the broadcast station with respect to the vehicle (antenna). • Thoroughly wipe oil and dirt from the pasting surface with the supplied cleaner (I). • Do not bend or damage the film antenna (F). • It may not be possible to install on certain vehicles. • Check the cable routing of the film antenna (F) and amplifier unit (G) before pasting. • Do not apply any glass cleaner after pasting the film antenna (F).
Determine the antenna installation position
• The direction of the film antenna (F) changes depending on whether the film antenna (F) is installed on the right side or left side. • Be sure to check the installation location of film antenna (F) before installing. Film antenna cannot be re-pasted. • Separate from other antennas by at least 100 mm. • Do not paste the amplifier unit (G) on the ceramic line (black part) around the front glass. Because there is not enough adhesion. o Installing the antenna on the left side
o Installing the antenna on the right side
Ceramic line (black part)
* Paste the earth sheet of the amplifier unit (G) on the metal part of the front pillar.

(cable with booster, 3.5 m)
When installing the antenna cable inside the front pillar with the air bag installed
The antenna should be installed on the passenger side for safety.
• The front pillar cover is secured with a special clip which may need to be replaced when it is removed.
Contact your vehicle dealer for details on removing the front pillar cover and availability of replacement parts.
– Wait until the glass surface is completely dry before proceeding.
– Warm the surface of the windscreen with defroster if it is cold (during winter). 3 Remove the separator (tag I) of film antenna (F) horizontally and paste the antenna on the windscreen. Separator (tag I)
Antenna installation
1 Remove the front pillar cover of your car. • Install the amplifier unit (G) above the air bag so that it does not obstruct the operation of the air bag.
Do not touch the pasting surface (adhesive side) of the film antenna (F).
4 Remove the separator (tag II) of film antenna (F) vertically and paste the antenna on the windscreen. Separator (tag II) (F)
5 Rub the film antenna gently onto the
windscreen in the direction of the arrow shown to allow it to stick firmly.
2 Clean the windscreen with the supplied cleaner (I).
6 Remove the application film (tag III).
• When installing the antenna on the left side
Application film (tag III)
Do not touch the lead terminal of film antenna (F). 7 Set the postion of the protrusion of the amplifier unit (G) with the K on the film antenna (F) and paste. Do not touch the lead terminal or the pasting surface (adhesive side) of the amplifier unit (G). • When installing the antenna on the right side Set the position of the protrusion with K mark Earth sheet
Set the position of the protrusion with J mark
8 Remove the film covering the earth sheet and paste the earth sheet on the metal part of the vehicle.
Provide sufficient leeway for the earth sheet so that it does not interfere with the interior parts (front pillar cover). Also take care that the interior parts do not interfere with the amplifier unit (G). Windscreen

9 Wire the antenna cables.
Use cable clamper (H) to secure the antenna to the pillar at several positions. 10 Attach the front pillar cover back to its original position. Be sure not to damage the earth sheet and amplifier unit (G) when covering. 11 Connect the amplifier unit (G) to the DAB input terminal on the rear of the unit. 12 Set [DAB ANT POWER] to [ON]. ( 5)
