What is SIRIUS Trafc? Navigational trafc information for 22
major metropolitan areas* in the
continental US. SIRIUS Trafc conveys navigational trafc information for visual display on a compatible navigation system. Using a navigation system (such as the ECLIPSE AVN6610), trafc data from
SIRIUS is displayed either superimposed on
a navigation map, or in a list type format displayed on the navigation screen. The data provides trafc speed and ow
information as well as scheduled and unscheduled incidents, alerting you to congestion, accidents, road construction,
detours, and other trafc related information as you drive. The SIRIUS Trafc data is
updated frequently enabling you to be up-to-
date regarding trafc situations. Based on the information from SIRIUS Trafc, the navigation
system can then plan alternate routes before
you get caught in trafc, and if you make a
wrong turn, the system can recalculate your
route and get you back on track in seconds.
* Metropolitan areas for which the SIRIUS Trafc service is available as of November 2006 are: Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo/Niagra Falls, Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Dallas /Ft. Worth, Denver/Boulder, Detroit, Hartford/New Britain/Middletown, Houston/ Galveston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Memphis, Miami/Ft.

Installation
It is recommended that prior to starting the installation, you read completely this installation manual and follow the guidelines listed below:
Consider the mounting location carefully. You should make sure that you avoid the
following:
• Any location where the tuner is exposed to moisture.
• Any location where the tuner is exposed to extreme heat.
• Any location that would interfere with moving parts on the vehicle or interfere with driving.
Mounting the SIR-ECL2nt tuner
Be sure that you nd a location that is at and has clearance above the tuner to prevent any damage, as well as allow for ventilation. Do not install the tuner under the carpet or in a small enclosed area without proper ventila­tion. Doing so can result in damage to the tuner or the vehicle. Use the supplied screws to securely fasten the unit.
Installing the Antenna
The antenna includes a plastic cable cover/ tail which covers the exposed antenna cable and keeps it attached securely to vehicle roof. The tail also helps position the
antenna the proper distance from the rear
window, sunroof or rear hatch. To attach the cover/tail:
1. Once you have determined the proper mounting location (see the next section), clean the area with the supplied alcohol swab.
2. Connect the antenna cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the
strain-relief on the antenna seats into
the cover/tail groove. Route the cable through the wire channel in the cover/ tail.

Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations
The optimum location to mount the antenna
is on the roof of the vehicle. It is important to avoid any obstruction that will block the satellite signal, such as a roof rack. For convertible vehicles, install the antenna on the trunk lid as shown.
• Place the antenna on a metal surface
of your vehicle at least 12” x 12”, and at least 6” from a window. (Use the antenna cover/tail as a guide for the proper distance from the rear window.)
• The antenna’s magnet will secure it to
the metal surface. The adhesive that is attached to the antenna cover/tail will secure the cable to the vehicle. Before routing the antenna cable, conrm that
the antenna is mounted in a suitable
location.
• Route the cable from the antenna to the
vehicle’s interior by tucking it
underneath the rubber molding around
the rear window, if possible.
• Route the cable from the lowest point
of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of any existing cable channels or wiring conduits.
• For SUVs, minivans and ve-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding of the
tailgate, and continue under the interior
trim.
• From the trunk, carefully route the
cable to the location of the SIR-ECL2nt and plug the SMB
connector into the tuner.

Convertible (only)
Caution:
• Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could damage it.
• Keep the wire away from areas where it could become tangled in the driver’s and passenger’s feet.
• Keep the antenna wire away from extreme heat, such as exhaust systems.
• Avoid placing the cable near any moving parts.

SIR-ECL2nt Installation Guide
Activating Your SIRIUS Subscription
You must activate SIR-ECL2nt before you can start to receive the SIRIUS Satellite Radio service and the SIRIUS Traf­c service. Each is a separate service, and each needs to be activated individually. In order to activate your radio and trafc
subscriptions, you will need the two SIRIUS
IDs (SIDs) – one for the SIRIUS Satel­lite Radio service and one for the SIRIUS Trafc service – which uniquely identify your SIR-ECL2nt tuner. The SIDs may be found on sticker located on the bottom of the SIR-ECL2nt packaging or on the bottom of the unit itself. The label will have printed on it two 12-digit SID numbers. The rst will be the Data SID for the SIRIUS Trafc service, for example, “Data SID: 123456789012”. The second is the Audio SID for the SIRIUS Radio service, for example, “Audio SID: 987654321098”.
Note: You will need the Data SID for the SIRIUS Trafc service from the label on the
bottom of the unit or from the original
packaging, the AVN source unit does not diplay this number. The Audio SID can be displayed by the unit.
