Installation in a V ehicle (continued)

1. Determine where you want to
mount Streamer.

• Do not install Streamer where
it may obstruct your view through
the windshield or your view of
your vehicle’s indicator displays.

• Do not install Streamer where
it will hinder your access to the
vehicle’s controls.

• Do not install Streamer where
it may hinder the function of
safety devices such as an
airbag. Doing so may prevent
the air-bag from functioning
properly in the event of an
accident.

• Find a location that provides
good visibility of and access to
Streamer’s front panel.

• The Brix Group strongly
recommends that you mount

Streamer in a location where the
base can be attached with the
provided screws or on the
windshield with the provided
suction-cup mount..

2. You can bend the leaves on
the base to conform to curved
mounting surfaces.

3. Peel the covering away from

the adhesive on the bottom of
the base and adhere it to the
mounting surface. Use the
provided screws to securely
attach the base to the surface.

• If using screws, be sure that
you do not damage wiring or
other systems on the other side
of the mounting surface.

4. Using the provided screws,
assemble the docking station

cradle to the base or to the
suction cup mount.

5. Plug the cigarette lighter
adapter into the back of the cradle.
Don’t plug the adapter into the
cigarette lighter until the
installation is completed.

6A. Plug the cassette adapter into
the back of the cradle (SIRSTRVK2
kit only). For the SIR-STRVK1 kit,
tune your radio to one of four FM
stations on the side of the vehicle
dock

6B. If your car stereo has an aux
input, plug the supplied audio
cable into the back of the cradle
instead of the cassette adapter.
Plug the audio cable’s white (L
ch,) and red (R ch.) connectors
into your car stereo.

Installation in a Vehicle: Mounting the Antenna

1. Temporarily plug the antenna into the
“1-Sat/Terr (Main)” connector on the back
of the cradle until it is firmly seated.

2. Find an antenna location on a metal
surface of your vehicle at least 12" x 12",
and at least 6" from a window. If you use
the included antenna mount (SIR­STRVK1 only), install the mount on the
upper portion of your side-view mirror
bracket.

•Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted on
the roof or trunk for convertibles.

• If the vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may be
necessary to mount the antenna off-center.

3.The antenna’s powerful magnet will secure it to the metal
surface. Before routing the antenna cable, confirm that the
antenna is mounted in a good location:

4. Temporarily plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the
cigarette lighter.

5. Slide Streamer all the way into the cradle so that the
connector at the bottom of the unit makes proper contact in
the cradle. Press and hold the POWER button to turn
Streamer on.

6. If your Streamer has been properly connected and the
antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal you will hear audio.
If you do not hear audio, the display will read “Antenna
Error”. Re-orient the antenna until you hear audio. (See
Antenna Signal, on page 27 to use the ANTENNA SIGNAL
screen to aim the antenna.)

• Make sure the vehicle is not in garage, or somewhere the
satellite signal could be blocked.

Installation in a Vehicle: Running the Antenna Cable

1. Turn Streamer’s power off and remove it from
the cradle; unplug the cigarette lighter adapter
from the cigarette lighter; unplug the antenna from
the cradle.

2. Route the cable from the antenna to the
vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the
rubber molding around rear window, as shown
below.

3. 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, minvans & 5-door vehicles, bring the
cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for
the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.

4. From the trunk, route the cable around the
passenger compartment and to the back of the
cradle.

• Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could
damage it.

• Keep the wire away from areas where it could
become tangled in driver’s and passenger’s feet.

5. Plug the antenna into the back of cradle where it
says “ANT”.

6. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the cigarette
lighter. THE BRIX GROUP RECOMMENDS
UNPLUGGING THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER
ADAPTER AFTER YOU TURN THE VEHICLE’S
IGNITION OFF .

Installation in a home with the SIR-STRHK1 kit (sold separately)

Note: Do not put Streamer in the docking station until you have completed the installation.

1. Plug the audio cable’s mini
connector into the back of the
cradle, as shown. Plug the
audio cable’s white (L ch,) and
red (R ch.) connectors into your
audio system.

2. Plug the AC cord into the
power supply, then plug the
power supply into the back of
the cradle, as shown. Don’t plug
the AC cord into a wall outlet
until the installation is
completed.

3. Plug the antenna into the back
of the cradle until it is firmly
secure.

Installation in a home (continued)

4. Due to the paths of SIRIUS satellites over the
US, the best location for the antenna in your
home depends on where you live. Use the map
below as a general placement guideline—some
experimentation may be needed to obtain the best
results. In major US cities, you may also be able to
receive the signal from SIRIUS ground repeaters,
which may allow you to place the antenna away
from a window. In all cases, since the antenna is
weather-proof if necessary you can also locate it
outside, clear of any overhead obstructions. (This is
especially important if your house has an extended
roof or extended window frame structures.) See
page 30 for more information about using the
ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim the antenna.

Section 1: Place the antenna at an EAST-FACING
window
Section 2: Place the antenna OUTSIDE, away from
any overhead obstructions
Section 3: Place the antenna at a WEST-F ACING
window
Section 4: Place the antenna at a NORTH- or EAST ­FACING window
Section 5: Place the antenna at a NORTH-F ACING
window
Section 6: Place the antenna at a WEST- or NORTH­FACING window
