An “FM Out Plug” is installed in your S50 vehicle
dock to ensure that your S50 radio operates properly and does not interfere with other radios.
Using the FM Direct Adapter is another way to
ensure that your S50 does not interfere with other
radios. Professional installation of the FM Direct
Adapter is recommended.
If you will not be using the FM Direct Adapter, the
FM Out Plug is required to remain installed in the
vehicle dock to ensure that your S50 radio operates
properly and does not interfere with other radios.
Plug the vehicle’s AM/FM antenna cable (which was disconnected from the vehicle’s AM/FM
4.
radio) into the FM antenna socket of the FM Direct Adapter. (An additional adapter may be
required.)
Plug the mini-connector of the FM Direct Adapter into the FM OUT connection at the rear of
5.
the S50 vehicle dock.
Choose a channel on the FM band of the vehicle’s AM/FM radio that has little or no reception
6.
from a local FM station. You can consult the SIRIUS website at h ttp: //ww w.si rius .com /fm-
chan nel for more information on finding a clear FM channel in your area.
Choose the same channel from the FM Frequencies menu of your S50 radio. (Refer to the user
7.
guide of your S50 radio for detailed instructions.)
If the installation is successful, you should hear the SIRIUS broadcasts through the vehicle’s AM/FM
radio.

Installation
To install the FM Direct Adapter in your vehicle follow these steps:
Consult a professional installer to assist you in removing the FM Out Plug from the FM O UT
1.
connection at the rear of S50 vehicle dock. (Figure 2) Retain the FM Out Plug and reinstall it if
the FM Direct Adapter is ever disconnected from the S50 vehicle dock.
If you will be installing the FM Direct Adapter (also known as a FM Relay Switch or FM Switch Box),
it will directly connect the FM signal from your SIRIUS radio to your vehicle’s AM/FM radio, reducing any interference which might be present from FM radio station broadcasts. When the SIRIUS
radio is turned off, the vehicle’s FM antenna is automatically connected back to the vehicle’s AM/FM
radio. The adapter connects directly in-line with the vehicle’s existing AM/FM antenna input.
If you will not be installing the FM Direct Adapter, the FM Out Plug must remain installed in the
S50 vehicle dock to ensure that your S50 radio operates properly and does not interfere with other
radios.
SIRIUS suggests professional installation of the FM Direct Adapter in your vehicle. Ask your SIRIUS
retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation service.
Certain vehicle models will require adapters to connect the vehicle’s AM/FM antenna to the FM
Direct Adapter, and to connect the FM Direct Adapter to the vehicle’s AM/FM radio. Your SIRIUS
retailer may sell these adapters, or a professional installer may be able to provide them.
