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:
XM SureConnect: You can listen to your XpressEZthrough your car stereo by using
XpressEZ’s built-in FM modulator and the XM SureConnect. Simply find an unused FM
frequency on the stereo and set your XpressEZto transmit on that same frequency. See
your XM SureConnect installation guide.
FM Direct Adapter: If you choose to use the FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) to
transmit XM audio through your car stereo, we recommend professional installation.
Cassette Adapter: Use the cassette adapter (sold separately) if your vehicle’s audio
system has a built in cassette player. The cassette adapter will provide the best audio
quality.
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 you can mount your
XpressEZ.
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 XpressEZinto
place. Once in place you can activate your XpressEZ.
Now that you have all of the parts you need, you are ready to begin installing your
XpressEZ.

make sure you are outdoors and the antenna is not obstructed by tall buildings.

the recommended options.
