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 center 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:
- A printed dipole antenna for receiving satellite signals
- A printed monopole antenna for receiving terrestrial signals
The two antennas allow the system to receive SDARS transmissions in built up areas where signals form satellites would normally be blocked. Refer to Audio System or Audio System article.
