Attach the desired mou nting device, dash or vent mount, to the vehicle docki ng station by
sliding the flat porti on of the mount into the slot on the back top edge of the vehicle docking
station. Gently slide the mounting device in unt il it snaps into place.
Dash Moun t Opt ion (A)
If you choose the dash mount option, be sure to select your mounting positio n carefully. Once
the mount has been adh ered to a surface, it will not be possib le to remove it and adhere it
again.
Clean the selected mou nting surface area in the vehicle with t he alcohol swab. Unscrew the
adhesive foot from the mount. Peel t he protective material off the adhesive on the foot and
press the foot firmly against the vehicle surface.
The adhesive mount should then be al lowed to adhere for a minimum of 2-4 hou rs before use.
Best adhesion occurs a fter 24 hours.
Vent Mount Opti on (B )
To mount the vehicle dock using the vent mount option, instal l the vent mount as follows:
If the vent louvers in your vehicle are recessed, you may need to use the longer vent
1.
hooks with the vent mo unt. Refer to Figure 2 and inst all the longer vent hooks into the
vent mount. Be sure to observe the orientation o f the vent hooks as shown.

Installing the Antenna
The optimum mounting location for th e magnetic antenna is on the roof of the vehicle, with a
minimum unobstructed a rea of 12 inch es by 12 inche s, and exactly 6½ inches from the rear
roof edge of the vehic le (the length of the rubber antenna cab le cover/tail). It is impo rtant to
avoid any obstructions that will block the SIR IUS signal, obstruct ions such as a roof rack,
a sunroof, roof mounte d cargo containers, or oth er antennas. For convertible vehicles, the
antenna should be inst alled on the trunk lid.
For best performance, it is recommen ded that the antenna be installed with the rubber
antenna cable cover/tail. This rubber antenna cable cover/tail provides two ben efits: fi rst, it
positions the antenna the recommended distance f rom the rear window, rear do or/hatch, or
trunk edge to give the antenna the best view of the sky. Secondly, it conceals and prot ects
the exposed antenna ca ble. The rubbe r antenna cable cover/tail has adhesive strips that hold
it securely in place.
The following illustrations show the recommended mounting locations of the a ntenna for
several types of vehic les. (Figure 6) Follow these recommendations for best performance from
the antenna.

Seda n/Coupe. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the
rear of the roof near the rear window.
Pickup Truck. Mount the an tenna alo ng the rear center-line of the cab roof, located at the rear
of the roof near the r ear window.
SUV/Mini-Van. Mount the antenna al ong the r ear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the
rear of the roof near the rear door/hatch.
Conv ertible. Mount the antenna along the center-line of the tr unk lid, with the rubber antenna
cable cover/t ail directed toward the rear window.
When you h ave selected a suitable mo unting location, clean the area where th e antenna and
rubber antenna cable c over/tail will be mounted with the supplied alcohol swab.

Connect the rubber ant enna cable cover/tail to t he antenna cable, making sure that the s train-
Figur e 9Figur e 9
relief on the antenna sits into the rubber antenna cable cover /tail groove. (Figure 7) R oute the
antenna cable through the wire chann el in the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. Do not remove
the protective strips yet.
Temporarily position the antenna and rubber antenna cable cov er/t ail in the selected mo unting
area and route the cab le from the antenna to the vehicle’s int erior by tucki ng it underneath the
rubber molding around rear window, as shown in Fig ure 8.
Route the cable from t he lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of
any existing cable channels or wirin g conduits. Fo r SUVs, mini-vans and 5-door vehicles, bring
the cable into the veh icle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the
interior trim.
From the trunk, or rea r of the vehicle, route the cable around the passenger compartment and
to the front of the ve hicle, to the receiver. Take care not pull the cable across sharp e dges that
could damage it, and k eep it away from areas where it might en tangle feet. Coil any exce ss
antenna cable in a loc ation where it can be hidden.
Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cab le
routing, peel the prot ective material from the adhesive strips and press the rubber antenna
cable cover/t ail firmly into place on the vehicl e. Double check that the loc ation of the antenna
and rubber antenna cab le cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on ru b-

degrees), maximum adhe sion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car
washes and other contact with the antenna and ru bber antenna cable cover/t ail.
Connect the antenna ca ble to the ANT connection at the rear of the dock. (Re fer to Figure 21
on page 23 for the loc ation of this connector.)
Connecting the Cigarette Lighter Adapter
Connect the cigarette lighter power adapter to the receiver, and plug it into your vehicle .
(Refer to Figure 21 on page 23 for the location of this connec tor.)
Maximizing Audio Quality From Your SIRIUS Receiver
There are two primary ways to connec t your SIR IUS satellite radio. The following procedures
will help you obt ain the best performance.
Wir ele ss Con neC tio n
Your SI RI US radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM tra nsmitter sends the audio from your
SIRI US radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 10)
To tune your transmit ter:
Turn off your SIRIUS radio and tune throug h the FM channels on your vehicle radio to
1.
locate an FM channel t hat is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an F M channel
that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your
[ Ins tal lat ion ]
16
Page 19
SIRI US radio . Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your
area, sa ve it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will bec ome your SIRI US prese t.
Turn on your SI RI US radio. Press and hold the Menu button to access the FM
2.
channel number list on your SI RI US radio. Tune to the channel that mat ches the SIR IUS
preset on your vehicle radio. Refer to the M enu Optio ns/ FM Freque ncy secti on of this
manual for more detailed instructions on how to do this.
Note : The FM transmitt er in your SIRIUS rad io is automatically set to FM channel 88.1. This
may not be the best channel in your area.
Tip: If you regularly travel between cities with different active F M channel s, you may need
to find channels that are not broadc asting in each city. Several SI RI US receiver models can
store multiple FM transmit channels, so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for
each city. You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcastin g in each city as
presets on your vehicl e radio.
If you’re not sure whi ch FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or tr avel cities, you
can also go to http:// SIRI US.com/fmchannel and search for a suggested F M channel based
on your zip code.
Dir eCt Co nne Cti ons
Direct connection prov ides better audio performance than a wir eless connection and removes
the possibility of int erference from local F M br oadcasters.
Dire ct Wi red Audio Conne ction
If your vehicle radio offers an “AUX I N” or “LIN E I N” connection, it is the best audio connection available. If the “AUX I N” or “LIN E I N” connector is located on the front of your vehicle
radio, this is also th e easiest connection. (Figure 11)
Purchase an audio cable that matches the connectio n type of your vehicle radio and
1.
your SI RI US radio at your local electronics ret ailer. Your SIRIUS rad io requires a 1/8”
stereo male connector. Your local electronics reta iler can help you determine the proper
connection for your ca r radio.
Plug one end of the ca ble into the AUDI O jack on your SI RI US radio. (Refer to Figur e
2.
21 on page 23 for the location of this connector.) Plug the other end into your “AUX IN”
or “LIN E I N” jack on your vehicle radio.

NOTE: Refe r to your vehicle radio manufacturer’s g uidelines for correct inst allation.
NOTE: If t he “AUX IN” or “LI NE IN” connection is on the back of your v ehicle radio, you may
want to consider profe ssional installation. (Fig ure 12)
Cass ette Adapter
If your vehicle radio has a cassette player:
Purchase a Cassette Adapter at your local electronics retailer.
1.
Connect the adapter be tween the AUDIO j ack on your SIR IUS radio (refer to Figure
2.
21 on page 23 for the location of this connector) and the vehi cle radio’s cassette slot.
(Figure 13)
NOTE: Refe r to the cassette adapter manufacturer’s guidelines for correct use.
