NOTE: if you want to do the same, you need a longer coaxial cable than the factory one. Either purchase a 10m replacement, or buy a female to male extension (what I did).
Thanks for the input. How about the power cable? Where is your power source? Did you need an extension as well? I ran my cable through the top and it was just long enough to plug into the rear accessory outlet.
I'm using the front passenger side fuse box on my F15.

The power cable goes to a Vico-power plus (similar to power magic pro), which is wiring ACC on F47 and BATT on F38.

Set cutoff voltage for 12.2V with 6hr timer. This is the optimal setting I found after some test. Otherwise, will get the "battery discharge" warning.
