Safety Precautions
Be sure to observe the following warnings. Failure to follow these safety instructions and warnings may result in a serious accident and/or personal injury.
Install the cables and wiring so that it is not crimped or pinched by screws or
• sharp metal edges. Route the cables away from moving parts or sharp pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If the wiring must pass through a metal hole, be sure to use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insula­tion from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
Use caution if you need to disconnect the vehicle’s battery terminal. Please consult
• the vehicle’s owner’s manual or a service technician prior to removing the battery positive or ground connection as it may cause damage to the vehicle’s electrical system or require reprogramming of the vehicle’s computer-controlled devices.
Do not operate any function that takes your attention away from safely driving your
• vehicle. Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be per­formed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.
Do not open, disassemble or alter the unit in any way. Doing so may result in fire,
• electric shock or product damage.
Do not insert any objects into the unit. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or
• product damage.
Do not install in locations that might hinder vehicle operation. Doing so may ob-
• struct vision or hamper movement which can result in a serious accident.
Do not install the unit to high levels of humidity, moisture or dust. Doing so can
• result in electric shock or product failure.

Installation
It is recommended that prior to starting the installation, you read this installation sec­tion completely and then follow the instructions. In addition, consult the manual of the headunit to which you will be connecting the dock to determine any required installa­tion configuration.
Installing the Dock
Sele cting a Moun ting Locati on
The SCVDOC1 SiriusConnect Dock can be mounted most anywhere in the vehicle: the glove box, the center console, under the dash, under a seat, in the trunk, etc. When you have selected a possible mounting location, test fit the dock with your SIRIUS radio in the dock to be sure it will fit in the selected location. If you will be taking the SIRIUS radio with you when you leave your vehicle, be sure there is enough clearance to remove the radio from the dock. If you intend to leave the SIRIUS radio permanently attached to the dock, you can mount the dock in a more inaccessible location.
When considering a mounting location, avoid the following locations:
Any location where the SIRIUS radio could be exposed to moisture
• Any location where the SIRIUS radio could be exposed to extreme heat
Sele cting the Mo unting Meth od
There are two mounting options available for the dock. The various screws, rubber feet, and grommet referenced in the mounting methods are identified on page 8.
Meth od 1: Using the rubber feet E and grommet F (pre-installed on the dock) and securing the dock to the vehicle with the mounting screw B. (Figure 2) The rubber
[ Inst all atio n ]

feet and grommet prevent the dock from sliding when installed on a flat surface.

(Figure 3) You can also attach the pedestal by using two screws (not supplied) through the optional mounting holes in the pedestal foot.

Atta ching the Ra dio Adapter
When you have mounted the dock, you should attach the radio adapter for your SIRIUS radio to the dock. (Figure 4) There are three different radio adapters provided for the SIRIUS radios. One radio adapter is pre-installed on the dock but may need to be removed and replaced with the adapter for your particular SIRIUS radio. The differ­ent radio adapters are identified on page 7 and you should consult the compatibility chart on page 8 to identify the adapter for your SIRIUS radio.
Attach the radio adapter for your radio using the radio adapter mounting screw D (shown on page 8). When the radio adapter is properly fitted, the tabs on the rear of the adapter will align with the corresponding alignment holes on the dock. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 9 for the location of the alignment holes).

If you will be permanently installing your SIRIUS radio in the dock, you can install the locking screw to prevent the SIRIUS radio from being removed from the dock. Install the locking screw C (shown on page 8) into the locking screw hole in the bottom of the dock. The location of the locking screw hole is shown in Figure 1 on page 9.
Conn ecting the D ock to the Headun it
The SCVDOC1 SiriusConnect Vehicle Docking Kit is designed to work with any Sirius-Ready or SAT Radio Ready headunit. Some headunits will require the use of a SiriusConnect Interface Adapter. Please consult your headunit manufacturer for more details concerning compatibility and interface availability. The SCVDOC1 can also be integrated into select factory audio systems.

Mounting the Magnetic Antenna
The installation of the magnetic antenna consists of two installation steps:
Mounting the magnetic antenna and cover/tail on the vehicle
Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the dock
The magnetic mount antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the antenna in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also allows for easy removal for transferring the antenna to other vehicles.
Figure 8 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles. These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:
Seda n/Coupe/SUV/Mini -Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof,
near the rear window.
Pick up Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the wind-
shield.
Conv ertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear
window.
The antenna needs to have an unobstr ucted area of 3 inches by 3 inch es around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. 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, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible).

Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:
Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an
1.
unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna. Attach the rubber cover/tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 9, 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 9) and press the
4.
rubber cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle (Figure 10).

Operation
Before you can listen to the SIRIUS service, you need to subscribe to the Sirius Satellite Radio service if you have not done so already. Please be sure to follow the activation instructions for your specific Sirius radio as well as your headunit and/or SiriusConnect interface adapter instructions.
Place your SIRIUS radio into the dock (Figure 15), aligning the tabs at the edges of the radio adapter with the groves in your SIRIUS radio. Gently push the radio down until it is fully seated in the dock. (Your radio may differ from the radio shown).
To remove the radio from the dock, press the release button (Figure 15) while pulling the radio out of the dock.
