Installation
SIRIUS suggests professio nal installation of this prod uct in your vehicle. Professi onal installation provides an experi enced technician to install t his product in your vehicle, advice for selecting a suitable mounti ng location, installation of the antenna, and routing all the necessary
wires and cables. If the FM reception within your vehi cle proves to be poor, an ins taller will
have the necessary access ories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter, or an audi o cable, to
connect the audio output of the vehicle dock directly to your vehicle’s audio syste m. Ask your
SIRIUS retailer if they p rovide professional installat ion services, or can recommen d a professional installation servi ce.
Installing the Vehicle Dock
When installing the vehic le dock in your vehicle, choo se a location in your vehicle where it
will not block your visio n, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the ai r bag. The location should be easily acc essible and provide good visi bility of the display, and sh ould not be
located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen.
The mounting accessories necessary to install the vehi cle dock in a vehicle are pro vided.
Figure 1 shows two exampl es of the SIRIUS radio mounte d in a vehicle: A is the suct ion cup
mount method, and B is th e vent mount method using the vent mount clip.

Installing the Antenna
The optimum mounting loca tion for the magnetic antenna is on the roof of the vehicl e, with a
minimum unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, a nd exactly 6½ inches from the rear
roof edge of the vehicle (the length of the rubber ant enna cable cover/tail). It is important to
avoid any obstructions th at will block the SIRIUS sign al, obstructions such as a ro of rack,
a sunroof, roof mounted c argo containers, or other ant ennas. For convertible vehicl es, the
antenna should be install ed on the trunk lid.
For best performance, it is recommended that the anten na be installed with the rubb er
antenna cable cover/tail. This rubber antenna cable co ver/tail provides two benefit s: first, it
positions the antenna the recommended distance from th e rear window, rear door/hatc h, or
trunk edge to give the an tenna the best view of the sk y. Secondly, it conceals and protects
the exposed antenna cable . The rubber antenna cable co ver/tail has adhesive strips that hold
it securely in place.
The following illustratio ns show the recommended mount ing locations of the antenna for
several types of vehicles . (Figure 9) Follow these rec ommendations for best perform ance from
the antenna.

Connect the rubber antenn a cable cover/tail to the ant enna cable, making sure that the strain-
Figur e 12Figur e 12
relief on the antenna sit s into the rubber antenna cab le cover/tail groove. (Figure 10) Route
the antenna cable through the wire channel in the rubb er antenna cable cover/tail. Do not
remove the protective str ips yet.
Temporarily position the antenna and rubber antenna ca ble cover/tail in the selecte d mounting
area and route the cable from the antenna to the vehic le’s interior by tucking it u nderneath the
rubber molding around rea r window, as shown in Figure 11.
Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear wind ow into the trunk. Take advan tage of
any existing cable channe ls or wiring conduits. For SU Vs, mini-vans and 5-door vehi cles, bring
the cable into the vehicl e under the rubber molding fo r the tailgate, and continue under the
interior trim.
From the trunk, or rear o f the vehicle, route the cabl e around the passenger compar tment and
to the front of the vehic le, to the radio. Take care n ot pull the cable across shar p edges that
could damage it, and keep it away from areas where it might entangle feet. Coil any excess
antenna cable in a locati on where it can be hidden.
Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with th e cable
routing, peel the protect ive material from the adhesiv e strips and press the rubber antenna
cable cover/tail firmly i nto place on the vehicle. Dou ble check that the location o f the antenna
and rubber antenna cable cover/tail are correct, and c ontinue to press firmly down on rub-

There are two primary way s to connect your SIRIUS radi o to your vehicle radio: Wire less
Conn ection or Direct Conn ecti on. The following section s will help you obtain the be st perfor-
mance. For the latest inf ormation go to http://www.sir ius. com/vehicleinstallation.
Wir ele ss Co nne Cti on
Your SIRIUS radio contain s an FM transmitter. The FM t ransmitter sends the audio fr om your
SIRIUS radio to your vehi cle radio. (Figure 14)
Figur e 14Figur e 14
Included with your SIRIUS radio is an FM Extender Ante nna to maximize the audio qua lity of
your SIRIUS radio when us ing a wireless audio connecti on. Should the wireless audio quality without the FM Extend er Antenna be not acceptable, you can try using the FM Ext ender
Antenna (or opt for a dir ect connection).
Wire less Audi o Connect ion Witho ut the FM Extender Antenna
To tune your vehicle’s FM radio and your SIRIUS radio to the same FM channel (Figur e 14):
Turn off your SIRIUS radi o and tune through the FM cha nnels on your vehicle’s radio
1.
to locate an FM channel t hat is not broadcasting in yo ur area. If you use an FM cha nnel
that is being used by a l ocal broadcaster, it will int erfere with the performance o f your
SIRIUS radio. Once you ha ve located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your
area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS prese t.
Turn on your SIRIUS radio . In the Settings or Menu in your SIRIUS radio, locate the FM
2.
Freq uenc y adjustments. Se t the channel number on your SIRIUS radio to match the
SIRIUS preset on your veh icle’s radio. Refer to your user guide for detailed instr uctions
on how to do this.
[ Ins tal latio n ]

Page 26
Note : The FM tra nsmitter in your SIRIUS radio is aut omatically set to FM channel
88.1. This may not be the best channel in your area.
Tip: If you regularly travel between cities wit h different active FM channels, you may
need to fin d channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Several SIRIUS radio
models can store multiple FM transmit channels, so you can easi ly switch to the
best FM channe l for each city. Refer to your user guide for details on this feature.
You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcasting in each city a s

Wire less Audi o Connect ion Using the FM E xtender A ntenna
The purpose of the FM Ext ender Antenna is to maximize the audio quality of your SIR IUS radio
when using the FM transmi tter in your SIRIUS radio to transmit the audio to your ve hicle’s FM
radio. Proper placement o f the FM Extender Antenna ins ide your vehicle in close pro ximity
to the vehicle’s own FM a ntenna will provide a strong FM signal for good reception. The FM
Extender Antenna has perm anent adhesive mounts for ins talling it on your vehicle’s window.
Because of the different kinds of FM antennas found in vehicles, and the varied loc ations of
the antenna in each vehic le, SIRIUS suggests professio nal installation of this prod uct in your
vehicle. Professional ins tallation provides an experie nced technician to install th is product in
your vehicle, knowledge o f your vehicle for locating t he vehicle’s FM antenna, inst allation of
this product, and routing the cable and connecting it to your SIRIUS radio. Ask you r SIRIUS
retailer if they provide professional installation ser vices, or can recommend a pro fessional
installation service.

a. Turn off your S IRIUS radio and tune through the FM channels on your vehic le’s
radio to locate an FM cha nnel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use
an FM channel that is bei ng used by a local broadcaste r, it will interfere with the
performance of your SIRIU S radio. Once you have locate d an FM channel that is
not broadcasting in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will
become your SIRIUS preset .
Figur e 23Figur e 23
b. Turn on your SIRIUS radio. In the Settings or Me nu in your SIRIUS radio, locate the
FM F requ ency menu. Set th e channel number on your SIRI US radio to match the
SIRIUS preset on your veh icle’s radio. Refer to the us er guide which accompanied
your SIRIUS radio for det ailed instructions on how to do this.

Note : The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radi o is automatically set to FM channel
Adhesive Adhesive
88.1. This may not be the best channel in your area.
Tip: If yo u reg ularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may
need to find channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Several SIRIUS radio
models can store multi ple FM transmit channels, so you can easily switch to the best
FM channel for each cit y. Refer to your user guide for details on this featu re. You will
also want to set the FM channels th at are not broadca sting in each city as presets
on your vehicle’s radio.
You should now hear the a udio from your SIRIUS radio o ver your vehicle’s FM radio. If
5.
the audio quality is not satisfactory, try moving the FM Extender Antenna slightly to see if
a better signal can be ob tained.
If you are mounting the FM Extender Antenna in the headliner of the vehicle, skip this
6.
step. When you are satisfie d with the mounting location, remove the suction cup mount s
and peel the backing off the adhesive mounts. Permanen tly adhere it in the same pos ition on the glass (or A-P illar), keeping it taut and a s straight as possible. (Figu re 24)
Figur e 24Figur e 24
Route the antenna cable t o your SIRIUS radio. Use the included self adhesive cable

guides (if necessary) to hold the antenna wire in plac e until it reaches the weathe r
stripping or moulding at the edge of the window. Take advantage of any existing cab le
channels or wiring condui ts and route the cable around the passenger compartment to
the vehicle dock. Take ca re not pull the cable across sharp edges that could damage it,
and keep it away from are as where it might entangle fe et. Coil and secure any exces s
antenna cable in a locati on where it can be hidden and secured.
Plug the FM Extender Ante nna into the FM OUT connector of the vehicle dock (Refer t o

use the Fast-Forward butt on to skip ahead or exit the Instant Replay mode, and begi n listening
to the live broadcast aga in.
Should you press the Play /Pause button to stop the pla yback, the play position indi cator will
stop moving and continue to provide a visual indicatio n of your current position in the Instant
Replay memory.
When the Instant Replay m emory is 10 seconds from beco ming full, two beeps will be heard
(if the Confirmation Tone option is enabled). When the memory is full, the radio wi ll automatically begin playback, and will continue to store the c hannel audio, overwriting the oldest
portion of the audio prev iously stored. When the memor y is full, you will be unable to rewind
through the stored audio.
If you have partially pla yed back the stored audio, an d have paused the radio again , the Play
Position indicator will b egin to move left when the In stant Replay memory becomes f ull, as it
begins overwriting the ol dest portion of the audio pre viously stored. When the Play Position
indicator reaches the lef t-most position, indicating t hat the memory is full, the r adio will automatically begin playback.
The Instant Replay Time P osition provides the exact am ount of time the Play Positio n indicator
is behind the live broadc ast, expressed as Hours:Minut es:Seconds, and displayed as a negative number. (Figure 42) For example, if -02:40 is dis played, this would indicate t hat the Play
Position indicator is 2 m inutes and 40 seconds behind the live broadcast.
