Your goal is to place the antenna on a relatively flat
surface on the exterior of the vehicle, preferably on
the roof (the high point) or on the trunk, if the car is a
convertible.

Determine the best position

1. Plug the antenna into the connector on the side

of the cradle.

6. Mount the antenna

Back
of cradle

When connected to the Plug and Play
receiver’s cradle, the antenna can receive the
SIRIUS signal virtually anywhere as long as no
obvious obstructions, such as buildings, high
terrain, parking garages and tunnels block the
satellite signal.

2. Mount the antenna on the roof or trunk.

If the vehicle has a roof or trunk rack, you may
have to mount the antenna off-center. The
magnet secures the antenna in place.

3. Connect the power adapter to the cradle and
the vehicle’s +12 VDC power receptacle
(cigarette lighter).

4. Press the power button to turn the Plug and

If necessary, move the antenna to different
positions until the signal comes loud and clear.

6. Mark this position with masking tape or use
some other method that won’t scratch the body
work.

Route the cable

1. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the
Plug and Play receiver antenna input.

Avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink or
twist the cable. Use protective grommets
wherever you encounter rough openings.

2. At the lowest point of the rear window, route the
cable into the trunk, taking advantage of
existing cable conduits.

In SUVs and minivans, route the cable into the
vehicle under the rubber molding of the hatch
door or tailgate, and then under the interior trim.

Avoid exposing the cable in the driver
or passenger areas where it could
become entangled in feet or other
objects.

4. Plug the antenna cable into the connector on
the side of the cradle.

5. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the
+12VDC power receptacle.

The power LED on the power button glows red.

If you leave the cigarette lighter
adapter plugged in when the ignition
is off you could drain the vehicle’s
battery. Unplug the adapter when
you leave the vehicle.
