Warnings
Notice To Drivers In California and Minnesota
State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on
their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other dashboard or friction mounting
options should be used. SIRIUS does not take any responsibility for any fines, penalties,
or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See California
Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71)
Operating Temperature
The InV2 is designed to operate between -20° to +85° C (-4° to +185° F). Avoid leaving the
radio in a vehicle or elsewhere where the temperature may fall outside this range. Extreme
temperatures or extreme temperature fluctuations can degrade the performance of the

Installation
SIRIUS suggests that you have your InV2 professionally-installed in your vehicle.
Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your
vehicle, advice for selecting a suitable mounting location for the Dash Mount, installation
of the antenna, and proper routing of all the necessary wires and cables. If the locations
of your SIRIUS radio and your vehicle’s FM antenna make the performance the SIRIUS
radio’s built-in FM transmitter within your vehicle poor, a professional installer will have
the necessary accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter or audio cable
to connect your InV2’s audio output directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your
SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a
professional installation service.

Location
When installing the Dash Mount in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where
it will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag.
The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and
should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of
the display screen.

Installing the Magnetic Antenna
Caution
Because adhesive is used in the installation of the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail, we recommend that you install the antenna at or above room temperature (68° F). The adhesive
on the Rubber Cover/Tail may not adhere properly to the vehicle roof at temperatures
lower than this. Warmer temperatures will also make it easier to route of the antenna
cable through the rubber molding around the windows and in other areas in the vehicle.
Maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours at room temperature, so you should
avoid car washes as well as other contact with the antenna and Rubber Cover/Tail during this 72 hour period.
Warning
Be sure not to cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna cable during
the installation procedure. Damage to the antenna cable can degrade the SIRIUS signal
or make it unavailable, and can also cause water to intrude via the cable into the antenna
causing the antenna to fail.
Do not lengthen or shorten the antenna cable by cutting it. Doing so will cause the
antenna to not function properly.
Installation
Installing the magnetic antenna consists of two steps:
Mounting the magnetic antenna and Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail on the vehicle
•
Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the Vehicle Dock

ANTENNA MOUNTING
The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed
to hold it in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also makes the
antenna easy to remove for transferring it to other vehicles.
Figure 3 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of
vehicles. These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:
Sedan/Coupe Pickup Truck SUV/Mini-Van
Convertible
Figure 3
Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof,
•
near the rear window.
Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the wind-
•
shield.
Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear
•
window.
[ Installation ]
17
The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches
around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the an-
tenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could
be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof-mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your
vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least
3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the
case of a convertible).
Note: Read the DO and DO NOT installation tips beginning on page 28 for additional
antenna installation information.
Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:
1.
Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.
2.
Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 4, and press the
antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The Rubber Cover/Tail will help to position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.

Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (see Figure 4, on page 18)
and press the rubber Cover/Tail firmly into place on the vehicle.
5.
Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct, and
continue to press firmly down on the Rubber Cover/Tail for another 30 seconds. At room
temperature (68° F), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this
period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail.
CABLE ROUTING
After you have mounted the antenna you can route the antenna cable to the SIRIUS
Vehicle Dock. Separate antenna cable routing procedures are provided for each type of
vehicle: Sedan/Coupe, Pickup Truck, SUV/Mini-Van and Convertible.
Note that additional breakout illustrations for each step of the antenna cable routing
procedures can be found on the SIRIUS website at http://www.sirius.com. Click on the
