Antenna System: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Saturn Ion Red Line, 2005 Saturn Ion 3, 2005 Saturn Ion 2, and 2005 Saturn Ion 1. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The antenna system receives broadcast AM or FM stereo signals from free space and sends the signals to the radio receiver for processing via a coaxial antenna cable. Good antenna grounding is important for good radio reception.
The antenna base and mast should be installed to the torque specifications provided in the Antenna Replacement - Digital Radio procedures.
The antenna mast is a single 1/4 wave design located at the right front fender.
