Vehicle installation
Every vehicle is different; for your safety, follow all instructions carefully. Consult a
professional installer if you have questions.
1. To begin, first decide which method of installation is best for your vehicle:
Cassette Adapter (Included): Use the cassette adapter if your vehicle’s audio system
has a built in cassette player.
XM SureConnect (Sold Separately): 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.
FM Direct Adapter (Sold Separately): The third option is the FM Direct Adapter. 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).
2. Once you have chosen your method of installation, next decide where in your vehicle
you would like to mount your XpressR. The two included methods are vent mount
and swivel mount:
Swivel MountVent Mount
3. Next decide the best location for your XM antenna. Mount this antenna to the
roof or trunk of the vehicle. During installation, make sure you are outdoors and the
antenna is not obstructed by tall buildings.
4. Finally you will connect all of the plugs to the car cradle and lock your XpressRinto
place. Once in place you can activate your Xpress
Now that you have all of the parts you need, you are ready to begin installing your
XpressR.

Step 1: Mounting the XM Antenna
Mount the XM antenna to the roof or trunk of the vehicle. During installation,
make sure you are outdoors and the antenna is not obstructed by tall buildings.
For best results mount the XM antenna to the outside of your vehicle. Below are
the recommended options.
The XM antenna contains a strong magnet, allowing
it to stick to any metal parts of your vehicle.

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 vent.

16
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).
Clean the mounting surfaces with the
surface preparation kit.
Peel away the adhesive liner and firmly press the
swivel mount to the surface for 30 seconds. Allow
24 hours before using the mount
adhesive liner
You can orient your swivel different ways
to accommodate the space available in
your vehicle.
You can adjust this screw to adjust
the tension of the mount with a
screwdriver.
If you need to remove the mount, carefully lift the adhesive pad 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.
