On the rear wings, it is recommended that you  
fit the aerial on the side of the vehicle closest to  
the centre of the road.

low-reflection exterior aerial.  
Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609 (Road  
Vehicles – "EMCs for installation of aftermarket  
radio frequency transmitting equipment") when  
retrofitting two-way radios. Comply with the  
legal requirements for detachable parts.  
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio  
equipment, use the power supply and aerial con‐  
nectors provided in the pre-installation. Observe  
the manufacturer's supplements when fitting.
