Installation

SIRIUS suggests that you have your Sportster SP5 professionally-installed in your vehicle. Prof ession al installation provides an exper ienced technician to install this product in your vehi cle, advice for selecting a suitable mou nting location for th e Vehicle Dock, 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 of your SIRIUS radio’s built-in FM transmitter within y our vehicle poor, a professional installer will have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter or audio cab le to connect the audio output of the Vehicle Dock directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation service.

Installing the Vehicle Dock

When installing the vehicle dock in your vehicle, choose a location that will not block your vision, interfe re with the vehicle contro ls, or obstru ct the air bag. The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the displa y, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight w hich will affect the visibil ity of the radio’s display screen.

The mounting accesso ries necessary to install the vehicle dock in a vehicle are provided. Figure 1 shows two examples of the SIRIUS radio mounted in a vehicle: A is the suction cup mount method, and B is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.

Note : The s upplied suction cup mount a nd vent mount should work in most vehicle s. If your ins tallat ion req uires a diffe rent m ounting optio n, check with a loca l elec tronics retailer for other compati ble mo unts that are available se parate ly.

Installing the Magnetic Antenna

Caution

Because adhes ive is used in the installati on 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 temper atures will also make it easier to route of the antenna cab le 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 cont act w ith the antenna and Rubber Cover/ Tail during this 72 ho ur period.

Warning

Be sure not to cut, da mage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna cable during the install ation procedure. Damage to the ant enna cable can degrade the S IRIUS signal or make it unav ailabl e, and can also cause water to intrude via the cable into the antenna causing the antenna to fail.

Do not lengthen or shorte n the antenna cable by cutting it. Doing so will cause the antenna to not functio n properly.

Installation

Installing the magneti c antenna consists of two steps:

Mounting the magnetic antenna and Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail on the vehicle

•

Routing the antenna ca ble through the vehicle to the Vehicle Dock

•

The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold it in place during norm al driving conditions (highway/city). This als o makes the antenna easy to remove for transferring it to other vehicles.

Figure 9 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles. These mounti ng positions should be observed when installing the antenna:

Figur e 9

Seda n/Coup e/SUV/ Mini-V an: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof,

arou nd it. It is important to mount the antenn a where no obstructions will block the antenna 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 v ehicle has a pot ential obstruction, be sure that the S IRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from t he roof edge, or trun k lid in the case of a c onvertible).

Note : Read the DO and DO N OT installation tips beginning on p age 32 for additional antenna installation i nformation.

Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:

Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an

1. unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna. Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, and press

2. the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The Rubber Cover/Tail will help to position the antenna t he correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.

Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the ant enna with

3. the alcohol prep pad.

Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (see Figure 10, on page 23)

4. and press the rubber C over/Tail firmly into place on the vehicle. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/ tail are correct, and

5. 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 p eriod, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and the Rubber Antenna Cover/T ail.

CAb le R outi ng

After you have mounted the antenna you can route the antenna cable to the SIRIUS Vehicle Dock. Separate a ntenna cable routin g procedures are provided for each type of vehicle: Sedan/Coupe, Pickup Truck, SUV/Mini-Van and Convertible.

Bring the cable from the antenn a into the trunk at the front edge of the trunk lid.

1. Keep any ben ds in the cable loose. Tape o r tie the cable along the inside of the trunk lid to the trunk lid hinge strut. Allow enough slack in the cable so the trunk lid can easily open and close and

2. keep the cable a way from hinges, gears, etc., that could crimp or cut it. Route the cable along the trunk wall and into the cabin through a conduit or along an exist ing wiring harness. Route the ca ble through the main cabin area under the interior trim, towards the

3. front of the vehic le. Use a plastic putty knife to lift the plastic trim just e nough to tuck the cable under underneath. Avoid sid e airbag locations on back pillars and above the doo rs. (Airbag locations are marked with “SRS” logos.) Be careful not to crimp or cut the ca ble. Bring t he cable out from the trim near the firewall a nd route it under the carpet

4. toward the dashboard or console. Coil an y exces s cable in a hid den loc ation, such as under the carpet, keeping it away from any vehi cle pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable with wire ties. Bring the end of the cable out at the SIRIUS Vehicle Dock location. Leave yourself

There are two ways to connect your SIRIU S Sportster SP5 to your vehicle’s audio system: Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one w ill perform best in your vehicle depends on your vehicl e’s audio system.

For the latest informa tion go to http://www.siriuscanada.ca/en/install/vehicle.aspx.

Direct Wired Audio Connection

If your veh icle’s audio system has an “Aux in” or “Line in” jack it is the best-quality audio connection you can use for your SIRIUS radio. (And if th e Aux in or Line in connector is located somewhere on the front of your veh icle radio or elsewhere in the cabin, this is also the easiest way t o connect your SIRIUS radio.)

1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle’s audio system and your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock at your local electronics retailer.

• The Vehicle Dock requires a male

2. Plug the cable’s mal e Vehicle Dock. Plug the other end into the Aux in/Line in connector on your vehi cle’s

Wireless Connection

If you cannot connect your SIRIUS radio directly to your vehicle’s audio system, your SIRIUS radio contains an FM tran smitte r that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s FM radio.

To use this you need to tune the SIRIUS receiver’s FM transmitter to an FM frequency that’s not being used in your area (If you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your SIRIUS radio.) See Figure 21, opposite..

If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you can also go to http: //www. siriuscanada.ca/en/install/frequency.aspx and search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.

Inst alling the FM Transmitter Antenn a

Note: You will only need to install the FM Transmitter Antenna (FMTA) if you are using the wireless connection option. The use of the FMTA is highly recommended to improve your audio quality.

The FMTA brings the FM signal transmitted by your SIRIUS radio closer to your vehicle’s FM antenna to provide a strong FM signal for good reception. To install the FTMA:

Connect the FMTA to the vehicle dock. Ins ert the FMTA 2.5 mm plug into the FM

OUT connector of the v ehicle dock. (See Figure 25, left.) Position FMTA inside the vehicle. The FMTA wire should be run with the power

2. adaptor wire, and placed on the dash board or even placed under the dash pad (if possible). (See Figure 25, right.) If your Sportster is mounted to the center console, the FTMA wire should be run along console. Hide the wires. Depending on the position of your Sportster, hide the wires by tuck-

3. ing them into the seams in the dash board or the console seams where possible.
