Cons ole Moun t Me thod (A)

To assemble and mount the vehicle doc k for the console mount method A as shown in Figure 4:

Attach the adhesive foot to the vehic le dock using the provided screws. (Figu re 5)

1. Before adhering the mount to the console, be sure to select your mounting position care-

2. fully because once the mount has been adhered to a surface, it will not be po ssible to remove it and adhere it again. Clean the selected mounting surface a rea in the vehicle with the alcohol swab .

3. Unscrew the adhesive foot from the mo unting bracket. Peel the protective mate rial off

4. the adhesive on the foot and press th e foot firmly against the vehicle surfac e. The adhesive mount should then be all owed to adhere for a minimum of 2-4 hour s before

5. use. Best adhesion occurs after 24 ho urs. When the adhesive foot has achieved sufficient adhesion, reattach the vehicl e dock to the foot.

Installing the Antenna

The installation of the magnetic ante nna consists of two installation steps:

Mounting the magnetic antenna and cov er/tail on the vehicle

•

Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the SIRIUS radio or vehicle dock

•

The following sections provide instru ctions for both installation steps.

ant en na mo unt In g

The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Ant enna has a strong magnetic mount designe d to hold the antenna in place during normal dr iving conditions (highway/city). This al so allows f or easy removal for transferring the antenna to other vehicles.

Figure 8 shows the optimal mounting l ocation for the antenna on several types of vehicle s. These mounting positions should be ob served when installing the antenna:

Seda n/Coupe/SUV /Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near the

•

rear window.

Pick up Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the w indshield.

•

Conv ertible: Install the antenna at t he front center of the trunk lid, near t he rear win dow.

•

The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an u nobstru cted area o f 3 inches by 3 in ches around it. It is important to mount the ante nna where no obstructions will block the antenna fr om

receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack , a sunroof, a roof mounted cargo contain er, another antenna, etc. If your vehicl e has a pot ential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inc hes away fr om it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof ed ge, or trunk lid in the case of a conver tible).

Follow this procedure to mount the an tenna:

Select an appropriate mounting positi on for your type of vehicle that has an unobstruct-

1. ed area of 3 inches by 3 inches aroun d the antenna. Attach the rubber cover/tail to the a ntenna, as shown in Figure 9, and press the antenna

2. cable into the rubber cover/tail. The rubber cover/tail will help to position the antenn a the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid. Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenn a with the

3. alcohol prep pad. Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (Figure 9) and press th e rubber

[ Ins ta llati on ]

Follow these detailed cable installat ion instructions:

Feed the cable from the antenna under neath the rubber molding around the rear window.

1. Use a plastic putty knife or similar object to lift the rubber molding around the rear window and tuck the antenna cable und erneath the molding. Route the antenna c able around and down the window to the low est point. If your rear window does not have rubber molding, SIRIUS recommends consul ting with a professional installer. Route the antenna cable out of the wi ndow molding and into the rubber weather strip-

2. ping around the trunk opening. Lift t he weather stripping from the opening an d tuck the cable inside it, then replace the wea ther stripping. To avoid sharp bends in the cable, run the cable inside of the weather s tripping for a few inches, then remove t he cable from the weather stripping inside of the trunk. Keep the cable away from hing es, gears, etc., that could damage it. Route the cable out from the rubber w eather stripping and along the trunk wal l. Continue

3. routing the cable into the cabin thro ugh a conduit or along an existing wirin g harness. Route the cable through the main cabi n area under the interior trim, towards the front

4. of the vehicle. Use the plastic putty knife to lift the plastic trim just eno ugh to tuck the cable under underneath. Avoid side ai rbag locations on back pillars and above the doors. (Airbag locations are marked w ith “SRS” logos.) Be careful not to crim p or cut the cable. Bring the cable out from the trim nea r the firewall and route it under the ca rpet toward

5. the dashboard or console. Coil any ex cess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, keeping it away from any vehi cle pedals or controls. Secure the exces s cable with wire ties. Bring the end of the cable out at the SIRIUS radio location. Leave yourself e nough cable

You should now hear the audio from yo ur SIRIUS radio over your vehicle’s FM r adio. If th e audio quality is not satisfactory, yo u should install the FM Extender Cable a s described in the following section (or use a direct co nnection as described on page 48).

[ Ins ta llati on ]

Wire less Aud io C onne ctio n Us ing the FM Extender Cable

The FM Extender Antenna brings the FM signal transmitted from your SIRIUS rad io into clo se proximity with your vehicle’s FM ante nna to provide a strong FM signal for go od receptio n. (Figure 17) If you are using a FM wir eless connection to transmit the audio f rom your SI RIUS radio to your vehicle’s FM radio, usi ng the FEA will provide an stronger FM s ignal with better audio quality from your SIRIUS radio.

IMPO RTA NT N OTE: The FM Extender Anten na is placed insid e your vehicle in clos e proximity to the vehicle’s FM antenna . In order for it to provide a strong FM signal for good reception, it M UST be mounted in the correct location and orientation, as des cribed in t his manual. The correct mounting location and orientation is determined by the ty pe and loca tion of the vehicle’s FM antenna.

Step 1: Determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antenna

Being able to determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antenna is the key to properly installing the FEA in your vehic le. The type and location of the FM ante nna in your vehicle should be one of the following:

A. W hip/aerial mounted on the fro nt f ender o r hood: A fixed or retractable ae rial antenn a located on the front fender or hood o f the vehicle.

B. W hip/aerial mounted in the A-p illa r of ca r frame: A fixed or retractable a erial anten na located in the A-pillar of the vehicl e’s frame.

[ Ins ta llati on ]

C. I n-glass, in the re ar w indshie ld: Several strands of wires in the rear windshield glass, usu-

ally near the top of the window. There is a difference between the rear window defroster wires found in many vehicles and the FM antenna. The rear window defroster wires have uniform spacing and all wires run from edge to edge in the glass while the FM antenna wires have uneven spacing, breaks in the wires, and some of the wires do not run from edge to edge in the glass.

D. Whip/aerial mounted on rear part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the rear part of the roof (often just above the back windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be 7 inches or longer.

E. W hip/aerial mounted on the rea r fe nder or trunk: A fixed or retractable wh ip or aeria l antenna located on the rear fender or trunk of the vehicle.

F. Whip/aerial mounted on front part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the front part of the roof (often just above the front windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be 7 inches or longer.

G. I n-glass, in the front windshield: One or more strands of wire in the front windshield, usu- ally near the top of the windshield.

H. I n-glass, in a rear sid e windo w: S everal strands of wires in a rear side w indow, espe cially in some SUV, mini-vans and station wa gons.

Tips for Ide ntif ying the FM Ante nna

Correct identification of your vehicl e’s FM antenna is a key to a successful installatio n. The preceding installation section alread y showed you the differing kinds of FM a ntennas fou nd on vehicles, however, there are sever al types of antennas found on vehicles w hich you ma y at first believe to be the FM antenna but in reality they are not. Instead th ey may actu ally be GPS, OnStar®, cell phone, factory installed satel lite radio antennas, or other type of an tennas.

Please be aware of the following when identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna:

Puck type antennas and shark-fin type antennas are neve r the FM antenna. Figu re 32

1. shows several types of these antennas which should not be mistaken for an FM antenna. If you have located one of these type s of antennas on your vehicle you can be certain that it’s not the FM antenna. Continu e your search to find the actual FM ante nna.

Figur e 32Figur e 32

[ Ins ta llati on ]

Greater confusion may arise with whip type antennas. Figure 33 shows some whi p type

2. antennas which can be found on a vehi cle’s front or rear roof, or on the rear windshield . Some of these antennas could be the F M antenna and some are not the FM antenn a.

Antennas with a short 2-4 inch stubby whip or protrusion are no t FM antennas, while anten-

nas with a whip length of 7 inches or longer are likely to be the FM antenna. If your vehicle has a short stubby antenna, you should continue searching your vehicle’s FM antenna.

If after searching your vehicle you’r e still uncertain as to where your FM an tenna is lo cated in your vehicle then SIRIUS recommends p rofessional installation of the FM Exten der Antenna . Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they prov ide professional installation services, or can reco mmend a professional installer.

If the FM antenna is not correctly identified, the installation of the FEA will result in poor performance and unsatisfactory results.
