Installation and Setup

WARNING! DO NOT attempt to install the Snap while driving. Park your vehicle in a safe location before beginning installation.

Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna

Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the outside of your vehicle, on a horizontal surface that will always face the sky. The antenna contains a strong magnet that will stick to any metal part of your vehicle, but will not damage the vehicle.

For most vehicles the best location is on the roof above the front windshield, as close to being centered between the left and right sides as the cable length will allow. For convertible vehicles that do not have room above the windshield, place the antenna on the hood of the vehicle at a corner nearest the windshield. Consult a professional installer if your vehicle roof or hood is nonmetallic (i.e. ﬁberglass), or you have difﬁculty ﬁnding a location for your antenna.

IMPORTANT: The Snap uses a unique antenna. Do not substitute an antenna from any other XM radio for the Snap antenna. Replacement Snap antennas are available from xmradio.ca/accessories.

Installation and Setup

Recommended Antenna Locations

TIP: Detailed installation instructions, including videos, can be viewed at xmradio.ca/help/ troubleshooting.xmc.

TIP: When mounting the Magnetic Mount Antenna, be sure that the area is clean and dry by using the Alcohol Prep Pad. Avoid locating the antenna near other antennas (i.e. GPS, Cellular, or AM/FM) as well as roof rack or other items that can obstruct the view to the satellites.

IMPORTANT! Consult a professional installer if your vehicle roof or hood is non-metallic (i.e., ﬁberglass), or you have difﬁculty ﬁnding a location for your antenna. (See xmradio.ca/accessories or visit your favourite retailer.)

Magnet

Installation and Setup

If you are installing the antenna at the roof edge, or hood edge, install the Cable Routing Adapter to direct the antenna cable downward.

Recommended Antenna Cable Routing

Press the antenna wire under the rubber molding around the front windshield to the nearest corner. Then route the cable out of the windshield molding and into the rubber weather stripping

around the door opening. Lift the weather stripping from the opening and tuck the cable inside it, then replace the weather stripping. Run the cable inside of the weather stripping to the bottom of the door opening. Hide the antenna wire inside the cabin. Pull the cable out of the weather stripping at the bottom of the door opening and route it under the carpet toward the cigarette lighter power adapter socket. Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable with wire ties.

TIP: Always be careful to include enough slack in your routing to accommodate open doors or the hood lid. Use electrical tape to secure the cable in areas so that hinges do not pinch the cable with the door.

Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna connector into the ANTENNA connector on the Snap base. The antenna plug and cable will ﬁt into the recess on the top of the Snap base.

Initiate the Courtesy Period

Before proceeding with connecting the audio, the Courtesy Period included with your Snap needs to be initiated:

1 Be sure the vehicle is outside and the antenna has a clear view

of the sky.

2 Power on your Snap by pressing the Power button. 3 When Snap powers on, after the Welcome to XM message, you

will be prompted to Press 1, 2, 3 To Begin. Press the number button 1, then 2, then 3.

4 If the Magnetic Mount Antenna has been installed correctly, and

Snap is receiving the XM signal, a Courtesy Period Begun message will verify that the Courtesy Period has begun. You will then be notiﬁed about the length of the Courtesy Period and prompted to set up the audio connection.

5 Snap will then tune to channel 247. Although at this point you have access to all the

channels, leave it tuned to channel 247 until you have set up the audio connection.

If Acquiring Signal, Chk Antenna Connection, or No Signal Chk Antenna is displayed instead of the Courtesy Period Begun message, this indicates that you are not receiving the XM signal. Be sure the

vehicle is outside and the antenna has a clear view of the sky. Verify that you have installed and connected the antenna as described in “Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna” on page 14.

Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 38 for additional help.

Installation and Setup

Connect the Audio

To play audio through your vehicle’s stereo or FM radio, decide on one of the following audio connection options:

• Option 1: Best: Use the provided Aux In Cable if your vehicle’s stereo system has an auxiliary input connection. Refer to your vehicle’s owners manual to ﬁnd the location of the auxiliary input jack, or consult the vehicle dealer. (Page 22)

TIP! The auxiliary input jack may be located on the face plate of the vehicle radio, on the back of the radio, anywhere on the front dash panel, inside the glove compartment, or inside the center console in between the front seats.

• Option 2: Better: Use a Cassette Adapter if your vehicle has a built-in cassette player. Cassette Adapters are sold separately and can be purchased from an electronics retailer, or go to xmradio.ca/accessories. Follow the installation instructions in Option 1. (Page 22)

• Option 3: Good: Use the

Power

Connect feature of the Snap.

Power

Connect plays the audio

through your vehicle’s FM radio. (Page 23)

• Option 4: Best: Use the FM Direct Adapter. If none of the previous three audio connection options will work in your vehicle, then you will need to use the FM Direct Adapter (FMDA) (sold separately). The FMDA needs to be installed by a professional installer and directly connects the Snap to your vehicle’s FM radio. To learn more, check with the retailer where you bought your Radio, or go to xmradio.ca/accessories.

Follow the installation instructions in the next several sections for the audio connection option that you have selected.

Options 1 & 2: Aux In Cable Installation Instructions

1 Plug one end of the Aux In Cable into the AUDIO

connector on the Snap base.

2 Plug the other end into the auxiliary input jack

connection of your vehicle’s stereo system.

3 Turn on your vehicle’s stereo system. Set it to play input

from the auxiliary input source (or cassette mode if using a cassette adapter). You should hear XM channel 247 through your vehicle’s stereo system. The installation is complete. Proceed to “Subscribe” on page 26.

4 The audio level output of the Snap

can be increased or decreased as necessary to match the audio levels of other sources in your vehicle. Refer to “Set Audio Level” on page 35.

If the signal reception is good, showing at least one antenna signal strength bar in the upper left corner of the display screen, but there is no audio when tuned to channel 247, be sure the vehicle’s stereo system is set to the correct source, i.e., auxiliary input source (step 3). Also be sure that the audio level is set high enough to be heard (step 4). Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 38 for additional help.

Connect Installation Instructions

1 You’ll first need to find an available FM channel. An available FM channel is one that’s

not being used by an FM radio station in your area. When you tune your FM radio to an available channel, you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music. We recommend the following method to find an available FM channel:

Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio. Locate and create a

list of channels that aren’t being used by any FM radio station. Write down the list. Once you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to ﬁnd the one that provides the best match for Snap.

TIP! You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through every FM channel one-by-one. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88.1 followed by

88.3 etc.) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station. Write down each FM channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107.9.

2 Pick the first FM channel on your list from step 1. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio (if you have

not already done so) and tune it to this FM channel.

Installation and Setup

3 Set your Snap to transmit on the same FM channel that you have selected in step 1:

a. Press the FM button on the top of the Snap. The FM button will

illuminate to indicate the FM transmitter is on.

b. Rotate the Control knob to select the available FM channel you

chose in step 1.

c. You should hear the XM channel 247 through your vehicle’s FM

radio. If you are satisﬁed with the sound quality installation is complete. If you are not, move to the next FM channel on your list, and tune your vehicle’s FM radio and Snap to this new FM channel. Continue until you have found an FM channel with which you are satisﬁed.

4 Once you have found a satisfactory FM channel to use, press and

hold 1 until the 1 button is illuminated. This FM channel is now set as FM preset 1.

7 If the signal reception is good, but there is no audio when tuned to channel 247, verify that

both the Snap and your vehicle’s FM radio are tuned to the same FM channel (steps 2 & 3). Also ensure the chosen FM channel is a suitable one to use in your area (step 1). Also be sure that the audio level is set high enough to be heard (step 6). Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 38 for additional help.
