5. Subscribe to the SIRIU S service and begin enjoying the SIRIUS entertainment!

Location

Choose a location in y our vehicle where the radio will not blo ck your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location fo r the adhesive mount should be a suitable flat and smoo th surface. The location should be easil y reachable and provide good visibility of the radi o. Figure 1 illustrates a typical dash m ount.

[ Ins tal lat ion ]

Mounting the Radio

Figur e 2Figur e 2

Attach the adhesive mo unt to the radio by sliding the flat por tion of the mount into the U-shaped connector on the back top edge of the radio, as shown in Figure 2. Gently slide the adhesive mount in unti l it snaps into place.

Be sure to select your mounting position carefully. Once the m ount has been adhered to a surface, it will not b e possible to remove it and adhere it ag ain.

[ Ins tal lat ion ]

Clean the selected mou nting surface area in the vehicle with t he alcohol swab. Unscrew the

Figur e 3Figur e 3

adhesive foot from the mount. Peel the protective material off the adhesive on the foot and press the foot firmly against the vehicle surface.

The adhesive mount sho uld then be allowed to adhere for a mini mum of 2-4 hours before use. Best adhesion occurs a fter 24 hours.

Installing the Antenna

The optimum mounting l ocation for the magnetic antenna is on t he roof of the vehicle, with a minimum unobstructed a rea of 12 inches by 12 inches, and exact ly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the vehic le (the length of the rubber antenna cab le cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions that will block the SIRIUS signal, obst ructions such as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounte d cargo containers, or other antennas. F or convertible vehicles, the antenna should be inst alled on the trunk lid.

For best performance, it is recommended that the antenna be in stalled with the rubber antenna cable cover/ta il. This rubber antenna cable cover/tail provides two benefits: first, it positions the antenna the recommended distance from the rear w indow, rear door/hatch, or trunk edge to give the antenna the best view of the sky. Secon dly, it conceals and protects the exposed antenna ca ble. The rubber antenna cable cover/tail has adhesive strips that hold it securely in place.

The following illustra tions show the recommended mounting loca tions of the antenna for several types of vehic les. (Figure 3) Follow these recommendat ions 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.

Pick up Truck. Mount th e antenna along the rear center-line of the cab roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.

SUV/ Mini-Van. Mount th e antenna along the rear 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/tail direc ted toward the rear window.

When you have selected a suitable mounting location, clean the area where the antenna and rubber antenna cable c over/tail will be mounted with the suppl ied alcohol swab.

Connect the rubber ant enna cable cover/tail to the antenna cab le, making sure that the strainrelief on the antenna sits into the rubber antenna cable cover /tail groove. (Figure 4) Route the antenna cable through the wire channel in the rubber antenna c able cover/tail. Do not remove the protective strips yet.

Temporarily position t he antenna and rubber antenna cable cove r/tail in the selected mounting area and route the cab le from the antenna to the vehicle’s int erior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding around rear window, as shown in Figure 5.

Route the cable from t he lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of any existing cable cha nnels or wiring conduits. For SUVs, mini -vans and 5-door vehicles, bring the cable into the veh icle under the rubber molding for the ta ilgate, and continue under the interior trim.

[ Ins tal lat ion ]

From the trunk, or rea r of the vehicle, route the cable around the passenger compartment and

Figur e 6Figur e 6

to the front of the ve hicle, to the radio. Take care not pull the cable across sharp edges that could damage it, and k eep it away from areas where it might en tangle feet. Coil any excess 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 cable routing, peel the prot ective material from the adhesive strips and press the rubber antenna cable cover/tail firml y into place on the vehicle. Double chec k that the location of the antenna and rubber antenna cab le cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on rubber antenna cable cove r/tail for another 30 seconds. (Figure 6 ) At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhe sion usually occurs within 72 hours. Dur ing this period, avoid car washes and other conta ct with the antenna and rubber antenna c able cover/tail.

Connect the antenna ca ble to the ANT connection on the side of the radio. (Refer to Figure 2 on page 33 for the loc ation of this connector.)

Connecting the Cigarette Lighter Adapter

Connect the cigarette lighter power adapter to the radio, and plug it into your vehicle. (Refer to Figure 2 on page 33 for the location of this connector.)
