Installation

SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for selecting a suitable mounting location for the tuner and DCU, installation of the antennas and infrared receiver, and routing and connecting all the necessary wires and cables.

Configuration Considerations

Disp lay Contr ol U nit

The SCV1 includes a Display Control Unit (DCU) which provides an interface to control the SIRIUS A/V tuner. The DCU can tune and display the SIRIUS radio channels, and can also control the SIRIUS Backseat TV and change TV channels, as well as displaying TV programming information.

Audi o Connect ion to the Ve hicl e Headuni t

There are two options for connecting the SIRIUS audio output to your vehicle’s headunit:

Direct connection using an audio cable. An audio cable with RCA-type connectors

• is included for vehicles where the headunit has an auxiliary audio input. This option provides the best possible audio quality.

Connection using the FM Direct Adapter (FMDA). If your vehicle’s headunit does

• not have an auxiliary audio input, you must use the provided FMDA instead. The FMDA installs in-line with the FM antenna input to the vehicle headunit. When you turn on the SIRIUS radio, the FM antenna input to your vehicle’s headunit is tem-

porarily redirected away from the vehicle radio. The SIRIUS audio is then sent via the FM antenna cable to the headunit. By setting the SIRIUS tuner and your vehicle headunit to the same FM channel, you can hear the SIRIUS radio audio. Note that the FMDA does not affect the SIRIUS Backseat TV reception which is available whether or not you are listening to SIRIUS radio broadcasts.

Wiring Diagrams

Figures 1, 2, and 3 show several possible wiring diagrams:

Figure 1 depicts the wiring when the DCU is used, and the audio is connected via

• a cable to the AUX input of the headunit

Figure 2 depicts the wiring when the DCU is used, and the FMDA is used for the

• audio input to the headunit

The FMDA must be used if the vehicle’s headunit does not have a direct audio connection.

Power Harness Installation

Figure 4 shows a typical installation of the tuner module, DCU, and IR eye in a vehicle. The exact placement of these devices will be dependent upon the interior design of your particular vehicle.

Tune r Module Inst allation

The tuner module can be located in any place which is convenient, such as under a seat, under or behind the dashboard, or in the trunk or rear cargo area, etc. The location should be one where the tuner module will not get bumped or kicked, and where the wiring can be easily hidden. It should not be located where it will be in direct sunshine, causing the temperature to exceed 85° C (185° F) in warm weather.

The tuner module has four feet for securing mounting it to the vehicle as shown in Figure 5. These feet are removable if a different mounting choice is desired.

Disp lay Contr ol U nit Insta llat ion

The DCU should be mounted in the front seating area of the vehicle, where it can be easily seen and operated by the driver, but not mounted where it could distract the driver, or obstruct the driver’s view. It should also not be mounted where it could interfere with the operation of the airbags in the vehicle. Figure 4 shows a typical mounting location on the center console of the dash.

Infr ared Eye Inst allation

The IR eye receives the backseat TV remote control signals, and should be mounted in the rear seat area where the video monitor is located. It can be mounted on the rear of the center console, or on the pillar behind one of the front doors, as shown in Figure 4. You may need to test your mounting location to ensure that the IR eye will receive the

signal from the video remote control.

If needed, the IR eye cable can be extended by using a 1/8” mini-stereo extension cable (not included).

Power Harness

The power harness for the SCV1 has power filter box which contains a fuse for the 12V battery connection. The power harness also has an in-line fuse for the ignition connection. Figure 6 shows the location and type of these fuses, and also the identifies the pin-outs of the power connector.

Magnetic Vehicle Antenna Installation

The magnetic vehicle antennas have a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the antenna in place on the exterior of the vehicle during normal driving conditions (highway/city). Installation of the antennas consists of three installation steps:

Selecting the mounting locations for the antennas

Mounting each antenna with the cover/tail on the vehicle.

Routing the antenna cables through the vehicle to the tuner.

Sele cting the Ant enna Moun ting Location s

For optimal performance of the SCV1, these guidelines should be followed when installing the antennas. Figure 7 shows the optimal mounting locations for the antennas for several types of vehicles. If possible, mount the antennas in the locations shown, while observing these guidelines:

The antennas should be mounted on the exterior of the vehicle, on the roof.

The tail/cover for the antenna serves to secure the antenna wire to the surface,

and position the antenna exactly 3 inches from the roof edge. It should be used when installing the antennas. Each antenna should be mounted where no obstructions will block the antenna from

receiving the SIRIUS signal. Each antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof edge). The separation between the two antennas should be 36 inches or greater. The

greater the distance between the antennas, the better the performance. If it is not possible to install the antennas at least 36 inches apart on your vehicle, then they can be placed a minimum of 24 inches apart. Any separation less than 24 inches will compromise the performance of the SCV1.

Page 17

Separation = 36 in. or greater for optimum performance

A minimum separation of 24 in. is required for the diversity system to be effective.

Separation = 36 in. or greater for optimum performance

A minimum separation of 24 in. is required for the diversity system to be effective.

Figur e 8Figur e 8

Note : The SCV1 uses a special diversity antenna system that requires the use of two antennas mounted at opposite ends of the vehicle to maximize video signal reception when driving in areas with heavy foliage or lots of buildings.

Figure 8 shows several alternate mounting locations for the antennas. These can be used if it is not possible to install the antennas as shown in Figure 7 on your vehicle, or to achieve a minimum separation of at least 24 inches between the antennas.

Figure 9 shows several antenna mounting configurations which will compromise the performance of the SCV1. Avoid mounting the antennas in any of these configurations:

Don’t mount the antennas closer than 24 inches to each other

• Don’t mount one or both of the antennas inside the vehicle on the dashboard

• Don’t mount one or both of the antennas on the trunk lid of a sedan

Moun ting the Ante nnas on t he V ehicle

Follow this procedure for mounting each antenna:

Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle according to the

1. instructions in the previous section. Attach the rubber cover/tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, and press the

2. antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The rubber cover/tail will help to position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid. Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with

3. the alcohol prep pad. Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (Figure 10) and press the

4. rubber cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle (Figure 11).

Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct,

5. and continue to press firmly down on rubber cover/tail for another 30 seconds. At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.

When you have successfully mounted the antennas on the vehicle, you can begin routing the antenna cables to the tuner.

Figure 12 shows a typical antenna cable routing diagram, where the tuner has been installed under the front passenger seat. The exact routing of the antenna cables may vary depending upon where you have installed the tuner in your vehicle. Avoid side airbag locations on front and back pillars, and above the doors. (Airbag locations are marked with “SRS” logos.)

Installing the FM Direct Adapter

The FMDA is used if the vehicle’s headunit does not have a connection for a direct audio input. The FMDA should be located near the headunit as the vehicle’s FM antenna will need to be connected to it. Figure 13 shows the wiring connections for the FMDA.

To hear the SIRIUS audio, the vehicle’s headunit and the SCV1 will need to be tuned to the same FM channel. Refer to the FM Tran smit ter section on page 56 for more detailed instructions on how to tune the SCV1 to an FM channel.

Note: The FM transmitter in SCV1 is by default set to FM channel 88.1. If you don’t want to change to a different channel you can simply tune the vehicle’s headunit to 88.1.
