Vehicle Installation
Step 1: Mount the XM Antenna
The XM antenna contains a strong magnet which
will stick to any metal parts of your vehicle.
1 Choose the best location for your XM
antenna considering your own
personal situation. Pay particular
attention to any accessories that you
may have like luggage racks and how
frequently you may use them.
We recommend mounting the antenna just above either the front windshield or the
back window as shown.
Magnet

Vehicle Installation
2 Place the antenna in the location you selected.
3 Route the cable:
• If you placed the XM antenna on the front of the vehicle, route the cable
across the top of the windshield. Gently pry up the rubber weather seal
and tuck the cable underneath. Follow the weather seal down the side
of the windshield to the door jam. Tuck the cable into the door jam and
then under the oormat to the car cradle.
14
• If you placed the XM antenna on the rear of the vehicle, route the cable under the
weather seal of the rear window. Tuck the antenna cable around and down the window
to the lowest point, just above the trunk.
Next, route the cable from the rear window molding into the weather stripping around
the trunk opening. Run the cable into the trunk and then into the rear passenger
compartment. Route the cable through the main compartment by tucking it under the
door jam trim or under the carpet and up to the radio.
4 Make sure any excess cable does not interfere with vehicle operations.
TIP! Always be careful to include enough slack in your cable to accommodate
open doors or trunk lids. Use things typically found around the home, like
electrical tape, to secure cables in areas so that hinges do not pinch the cable
with the door. Hide any excess cable in the trim.
15
Vehicle Installation
Step 2: Install the vent or swivel
mount.
You can use either the vent mount or the swivel
mount for your XpressRC depending on your
particular situation.
Installing the vent mount
1 Locate a vent with horizontal slats
sturdy enough to hold your XM cradle and radio.
2 Adjust the clamps to t your vent.
3 Snap the mount onto the vent.
To remove, push the mount into the vent, then lift up.

Installing the swivel mount
CAUTION! The adhesive used with the swivel mount may make it dicult
to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces and make sure
the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).
1 Locate a at surface for the mount. Make sure there is ample room
for the XM cradle and radio when installed.
2 Clean the surface with the preparation kit and let it dry thoroughly.
3 Peel o the adhesive liner. Position, press, and hold the swivel mount
in place for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT! Let the adhesive cure for 24 hours before attaching the XM
cradle and radio to the mount.
4 Turn the swivel to accommodate the XM cradle and radio. Adjust the
tension via the center screw.
You can adjust this screw
to adjust the tension of the
mount with a screwdriver.
17
Vehicle Installation
To remove, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your ngers or a spoon. Warming the pad
with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive.
You can reinstall the swivel mount using the extra adhesive pad.
Step 3: Connect your XpressRC.
1 Plug the antenna into ANT IN on the cradle.
2 Plug the power adapter into DC IN on the cradle.
3 Plug the audio adapter into AUDIO OUT on the cradle.
• Use the Cassette Adapter if your vehicle has a built-in cassette player.
• Use a mini audio cable (sold separately) if your vehicle has
an audio input jack.
4 Insert the cradle into the mount.
5 Insert your XpressRC into the cradle.
NOTE! If your car does not contain a cassette player or an audio input, you will need to
use either the XM SureConnect (sold separately) or the FM Direct adapter (sold

• XM SureConnect (sold separately): You can listen to your XpressRC through your
car stereo by using XpressRC’s built-in FM modulator and the XM SureConnect.
Simply nd an unused FM frequency on the stereo and set your XpressRC

to your car’s audio system and antenna. A professional installation is recommended
if you choose to use this method. Professional installation can help improve your
radio’s reception and signicantly reduce the visibility of wires. To learn more, check
with the retailer where you bought your radio or go to xmradio.com/shop and click on
“Accessories.”
