The SKYFi2 Vehicle Adaptor Kit
offers you many ways of connecting
your SKYFi2 to your vehicle’s radio.
All options provide excellent sound
quality and stereo separation.
Review and consider your own
unique situation when choosing
from the three options.

Cassette Adaptor

For vehicles with a built-in cassette
player. Due to its superior audio quality,

this configuration is recommended
over the wired or wireless FM
modulator configurations if a
cassette slot is available in the vehicle.

Direct Connect

The Delphi FM Direct Adaptor
(SA10112) (sold separately) can provide
audio input through the vehicle’s
antenna lead. (Some vehicles may
require special antenna lead adaptors.)

Wireless FM Modulator

For the ultimate ease of installation,
SKYFi2 has a built-in wireless FM
modulator that allows you to hear XM
programming on any nearby FM
radio. This FM modulator is turned on
whenever the cassette adaptor or any
other audio cable is unplugged from
the SKYFi2 Cradle. See the SKYFi2

Satellite Radio Receiver User Guide

for more details.

Note: If using the wireless FM modulator or
the Delphi FM Direct Adaptor, set the SKYFi2
Receiver and the FM radio to the same
frequency. See the

SKYFi2 User Guide section

on “Listening to XM Using Any FM Radio.”

SKYFi2 Installation

Because every vehicle is different,
these instructions are provided as a
general guideline only. If you need
help, consult a professional installer.

1. Decide which method (cassette
adaptor, wireless FM modulator, or
direct connect) is most appropriate
for your vehicle and where you live.

2. Verify the system is working by
completing a test. Before installing
the system, connect the XM Antenna,
12V power adaptor, and audio
connector or cassette adaptor (if
used) to the SKYFi2 Vehicle Adaptor
cradle with the SKYFi2 Receiver

inserted. Plug the 12V power adap­tor into the cigarette lighter and
place the XM Antenna on the roof
of your vehicle. Make sure you are
outdoors and not surrounded by
tall buildings or trees. Turn on
both your vehicle’s radio and
SKYFi2 Receiver. Tune the SKYFi2
Receiver to XM channel 1. You
should be able to hear the XM
Preview channel. If not, check all
connections.

Warning: Do not install the mount where it
or SKYFi2 could block your vision or usage of
controls, or interfere with any safety devices
such as airbags. Failure to correctly place
SKYFi2 could result in injury to you or others if
the unit becomes detached during an accident
and/or obstructs the deployment of an airbag.
