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.

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

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 presets on your vehicle’s radio.
If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcast ing in your home or travel ci ties, you can also go to http://www .sir ius.com/fmchannel and sea rch for a suggested FM channe l based on your zip code.
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 SIRIUS radio an d tune through the FM channel s on your vehicle’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.

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
7. 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
8. Figure 22 on page 33.)
This completes the instal lation of the FM Extender Ant enna. If you’re not sure whic h FM channels are not broadcas ting in your home or travel c ities, you can also go to htt p:// sirius. com/ fmchannel and search for a suggested FM channel ba sed on your zip code.
