Step 2: Installing the Vent Mount or Swivel Mount

Installing the vent mount

To install the vent mount, find a horizon­tal vent that is strong enough to hold
your XpressRand car cradle. To remove
the vent mount, push it into the vent and
lift upwards slightly to release the
mount’s hooks from the vent vane.

Some parts of the vent mount can be adjusted to better suit
your vehicle’s vent.

1. Clean the mounting surfaces with
the surface preparation kit.

adhesive liner

2. Peel away the adhesive liner and firmly press the swivel mount to
the surface for 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours before using the
mount.

Step 3: How to receive XM through your car stereo

There are several methods of receiving XM through your car stereo

Cassette Adapter: Use the cassette adapter if your vehicle’s audio system has a built in cassette
player. The cassette adapter will provide the best audio quality.

XM SureConnect: You can listen to your XpressRthrough your car stereo by using XpressR’s built-in
FM modulator and the XM SureConnect. Simply find an unused FM frequency on the stereo and set
your XpressRto transmit on that same frequency. For XM SureConnect install, please see your XM

SureConnect installation guide.

Professional Wired: The third option is the FM Direct Adapter (sold separately). We recommend

professional installation if you choose to use this method of install.

Audio input: Some vehicles come with an audio input jack. If your vehicle has this type of input
you can simply use a mini audio cable (sold separately).

Plug the antenna, the power adapter, and either the cassette adapter or the XM SureConnect into the
car cradle as shown. The FM Direct Adapter is not pictured.

You can adjust the tension of the
mount with a screwdriver

If you need to remove the mount, carefully lift the adhesivepad with your fingers
or a spoon. Warming with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the ad­hesive. Your swivel mount comes with an extra adhesive pad.

You can orient your swivel different ways to accommodate the space available in your vehicle.

Installing the swivel mount

To install the swivel mount, first find a suitable location. The swivel mount’s adhesive is very
strong and may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces and
make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).

tep 4: Making your Vehicle’s FM Radio an XM radio.

Your XpressRcontains a built-in FM modulator that requires the use of either the included XM Sure­Connect or the optional FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) to transmit the XM audio signal to your
vehicle’s FM radio.

First, turn on your car stereo.

You will need to find a suitable FM frequency in order to get the best
sound. A suitable FM frequency is an unused frequency or weak station that is not located near a
strong FM station in your area.

Next, power on your XpressR. Be sure all of your cables are properly connected. Go to channel 1, this
is the preview channel. You will not hear any sound through your car stereo until you have chosen
an FM Frequency.

Press Menu FM Modulator  FM Frequency.

Match the frequency to the frequency you see on
your car’s FM radio
