2011 Highlander - Where does the SAT antenna terminate?

[todd_raleigh]

I thought it terminated under the driver's seat, but that's not the case. It's not under the passenger seat either. I have the base 2011 Highlander. I don't have the XM satellite tuner, but the car does have the black hockey puck antenna on the roof, so I know the antenna is there and it has to terminate somewhere. Does anyone have information about where this end is located? Pictures of what the end of the cable looks like would be very helpful as well! Maybe is someone has the instructions on how to install the XM tuner, the information will be in there. Thanks in advance!

I would "guess" it would terminate very close to the radio. Obviously it needs to be long enough to reach the radio and the way all the wiring bundles are made there are very few redundant loops or extra lengths of wire.
There are wire bundles running from the back to the front in both door sills. One can easily view them by popping off the trim at the door, perhaps you can identify an antenna wire in that bundle and then trace it forward.

Thanks, Ralph. I went back to the dealership and asked them to dig a little further. They came back and said that the antenna cable terminates behind the radio. This is good news. It keeps all the equipments/cables/harnesses together in one area. I'm probably going to go all-in and put in a navigation,sat radio,backup camera,mp3,i(pod,pad,phone) device connectivity, etc. Once I decide the actual solution, I'll post a new thread with pictures, products, pricing, etc.

I'll be interested to see pictures of where the cable terminates. The "Check Antennna" message came up yesterday. Hopefully it was a fluke of the weather or satellite and not my 2011.
