Vehicle Installation
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. The
following are 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
To install the vent mount, find a horizontal
vent that is strong enough to hold your
XpressEZand 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.

FM modulator and the XM SureConnect. Simply find an unused FM frequency on the stereo and set
your XpressEZto transmit on that same frequency. For XM SureConnect install, please see your
XM SureConnect installation guide.

built in cassette player. The cassette adapter will provide the best audio quality.
