Step 1: Install the Commander Touch Display Controller

WARNING! DO NOT attempt to install Commander Touch while driving. Park your vehicle in a safe location before beginning installation.

The Commander Touch Display Controller can be mounted in a variety of ways. It can be adhered to a dash surface using double sided tape or hook and loop tape (not included), or directly attached to a dash surface using the included screws. The Display Controller has a standard AMPS mounting pattern on the back which is compatible with many other types of mounting solutions designed for vehicles, such as a suction cup windshield mount, a pedestal mount, a dash mount, a vent clip mount, etc; consult your retailer or installer. Depending on your vehicle you may also be able to use the included Flush Mount for a more integrated look.

Commander Touch User Guide

The Commander Touch includes a ﬂush mount installation option which requires cutting an opening in the dash or console of the vehicle which may or may not be suitable for your speciﬁc vehicle. A professional installer will know if ﬂush mounting is a suitable mounting solution for your vehicle, or can recommend other installation options that are tailored to your speciﬁc vehicle, including custom designing an installation solution. Please read through this User Guide before making the decision to install the Commander Touch yourself. SiriusXM recommends professional installation.

NOTE! The installation shown in this User Guide is for the ﬂush mounting option included with the Commander Touch. Self installation instructions and tips are provided for your convenience. It is your responsibility to determine if you have the knowledge, skills and physical ability required to properly perform an installation. SiriusXM shall have no liability for damage or injury resulting from the installation or use of any SiriusXM or third party products. It is your responsibility to ensure that all products are installed in adherence with local laws and regulations and in such a manner as to allow a vehicle to be operated safely and without distraction. SiriusXM product warranties do not cover the installation, removal or reinstallation of any product. SiriusXM recommends professional installation of this product.

Installing the Commander Touch Display Controller Using the Flush Mount

1. Locate a suitable place in your dash or center console for installing the Flush Mount. The Flush Mount requires an opening of 48 mm high x 110 mm wide, and an approximate clearance behind the dashboard or console of 25 mm depth to accommodate the Mounting Brackets. Avoid any location which will block or interfere with an airbag, or a location which interferes with the safe operation of the vehicle.

2. A template is available online to assist in cutting the opening. Go to

com/commandertouch

www.siriusxm.

and download and print the template. Place the template on the area selected and carefully cut the opening, following the outline on the template.

110mm

48mm

Commander Touch User Guide

3. Once the opening has been cut, remove the template and place the Flush Mount in the opening. The Flush Mount is asymmetrical so the top/bottom orientation is not important.

4. Bend each of the two Mounting Brackets into a U shape. If needed, the ends of the Mounting Brackets can be trimmed using metal shears to accommodate thicker dash material.

Introduction

5. Attach the Mounting Brackets to the rear

of the Flush Mount, using the provided 4 screws. Position the legs of the Mounting Brackets against the inside of the dash or console surface and tighten the screws. Note that you may need to bend or cut the ends of the mounting brackets depending on the specific application.

Alternate Mounting Method: If the above

mounting method does not work in your particular installation, the Mounting Brackets can also be attached to the Flush Mount by using the center threaded hole in the Mounting Bracket, and the tabs on bent as necessary for the installation. The Mounting Brackets can also be trimmed using a shears to accommodate the installation.

Attach the Mounting Brackets using a screw

through the front of the Flush Mount to the Mounting Bracket at the rear of the Flush Mount.

Introduction

6. Once the Flush Mount is secured in place, insert

the Commander Touch Display Controller into the Flush Mount. First, route the cable from the left side of the Display Controller into the opening at the bottom left of the Flush Mount, and then gently press the Display Controller into the Flush Mount, left side first and then the right side. It will snap into place.

7. Route the cable from the Display Controller to the place behind the dash or center console where you plan to install the Tuner Module. (Refer to the next step.)

Removing the Display Controller from the Flush Mount

To remove the Display Controller from the Flush Mount use the Release Tool. Center the tool on the right side and press in between the Display Controller and the Flush Mount until the latch releases. (You may need to rock it gently from side to side slightly to release the latch.) Then pry the Display Controller out of the Flush Mount.

Introduction

Step 2: Install the Commander Touch Tuner Module

The Commander Touch Tuner Module should be installed and secured behind the dash or center console using wire ties (not included). Keep in mind that you will need to route several cables to the Tuner Module, so allow enough clearance for the cable connections.

1. Find a location for the Tuner Module with suitable clearance for the cable connections.

2. Thread the wire ties through the molded brackets on the underside of the Tuner Module as shown. Secure the Tuner Module to a bracket or wiring harness using the wire ties. Avoid brackets with sharp edges and any moving parts such as gas, clutch, and brake pedals.

3. Connect the cable from the Display Controller to the

DISP connection on the Tuner Module.

Step 3: Install the Magnetic Mount Antenna and Route the Antenna Cable

Proper placement of the Magnetic Mount Antenna is very important. Consult a professional installer if you are uncomfortable with installing the antenna yourself. More detailed installation instructions and illustrations can be found at siriusxm.com/installation and clicking on the XM Vehicle Installation link.

•Place the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the outside of your vehicle on a horizontal surface that always faces the sky. The antenna contains a strong magnet which will stick to any metal part of your vehicle, but will not damage the vehicle.

•Avoid placing the antenna near obstacles that could block a clear view of the sky (such as roof racks, other antennas like AM/FM, cellular, and GPS), preventing the satellite signal from reaching the antenna.

•Consult a professional installer to ﬁnd an alternate antenna mounting location if your vehicle roof is made from a non-magnetic material such as aluminum, ﬁberglass, or carbon ﬁbre, or you have difﬁculty ﬁnding a location for your antenna.

•Clean the surface of the selected mounting location using a alcohol preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.

Select the Best Location for the Magnetic Mount Antenna

For most vehicles the best location is on the roof, centered above the rear window or front windshield.

•Sedan or Coupe: Recommended mounting location is above the rear window or front windshield

•Pickup or SUV: Recommended mounting location is above the front windshield

•Convertible: Recommended mounting location is above the front windshield, or alternately on the trunk lid, on the front hood, or on top of the front fender.

CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna inside the vehicle, for example, on the dashboard.

CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna on any of the vehicle’s front, back or side pillars.

CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to a roof rack. Adjust the rack so it’s further away from the antenna or move the antenna closer to the center of the roof.

CAUTION! Don’t mount the antenna close to another antenna. Mount it at least 3 inches away.

Introduction

Route the Antenna Cable

Before you begin routing the antenna cable, read these general instructions for how to route and hide the antenna cable. Then route your antenna cable according to the step-by-step instructions which follow for your speciﬁc type of vehicle.

Use care when routing the antenna cable into and through the vehicle interior, avoiding sharp objects that can damage the cable. Keep the antenna cable away from moving parts such as gas, clutch, and brake pedals, trunk and door hinges, and sliding seat brackets. Hide the antenna wire inside the vehicle cabin by routing the cable under the carpet and behind plastic trim, toward the Tuner Module location. Coil and secure any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, using wire ties (not included). CAUTION! Do not kink or sharply fold the antenna cable.

Install the Audio Connection

There are two ways to connect the audio for the Commander Touch: using the AUX Audio Cable, or using the FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter. Both audio connection solutions are included with the Commander Touch, and both audio solutions can be active at the same time.

•AUX Audio Cable: Best: If your vehicle’s radio has a auxiliary input jack, this is the easiest way to connect the audio and provides excellent audio.

•FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter: Good: The FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter directly connects the FM signal from the Commander Touch to the vehicle’s radio, reducing any interference which might be present from FM radio stations. When the Commander Touch is turned off, the vehicle’s FM antenna is automatically connected back to the vehicle’s radio. The FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter connects directly in-line with the vehicle’s existing AM/FM antenna input.

Follow the instructions below for the audio connection you have selected.

Connecting the Audio Using the AUX Audio Cable

The auxiliary input jack may be located on the face plate of the vehicle’s radio, on the back of the radio, anywhere on the front dash panel, inside the glove compartment, or inside the center console in between the front seats.

1. Connect the AUX Audio Cable to the auxiliary input jack of the vehicle radio.

2. Connect the other end of the AUX Audio Cable to the AUX connector on the Tuner Module.

3. Turn the vehicle’s radio on, and set it to the AUX In source.

4. Press the Power button on the Commander Touch Display Controller.

TuneStart

TuneStart plays the current song from the beginning when you tune to a qualiﬁed music channel which you have saved as a favorite channel. (Refer to “Favorite Channels” on page 33 for more information on favorite channels.) A TuneStart will also occur if you tune back to the channel that was tuned immediately prior to the currently tuned channel.

Visually there will be no indication that a TuneStart has occurred and you are not listening live. When you tap the Replay icon, the time bar will be displayed showing that you are listening behind the live broadcast. If you wish to return to the live broadcast, tap and hold the Replay icon.

In order for a TuneStart to occur, the beginning of the song must be present in the TuneStart memory. If Commander Touch is powered on after a song has already begun to be broadcast, a TuneStart will not be possible for that song.

A TuneStart will only occur once per song. For example, if you tune to favorite music channel and a TuneStart occurs, then tune a different channel, and then tune back to the same favorite music channel while the same song is still playing, a TuneStart will not occur. However, if you want to hear the song from the beginning, you can always tap the Replay icon to display the replay controls, and tap Rewind to return to the beginning of the song.

NOTE! Certain music channels are not eligible for TuneStart due to the way in which they are broadcast. While these music channels can be saved as favorites, a TuneStart will not occur for these channels.

Turning TuneStart On and Off

TuneStart is on by default.

1. In the Swipe Area, swipe to Settings, swipe up or down if necessary, and tap Feature Settings.

2. Tap TuneStart to toggle between On and Off.

3. Tap the Back icon in the upper left corner to exit.

TuneMix

TuneMix plays songs in a unique mix from the music channels you have saved as favorites, allowing you to build a single blended music channel of 2 - 18 channels, or three blended music channels from 2 to 6 music channels each.

When in Bank mode, TuneMix uses the music channels from the currently selected favorite page in the Swipe Area for the TuneMix channel. This allows you to create three blended music channels with different listening experiences, for example, rock music in one favorite page, pop music in another favorite page, and country music in another. When in All Channels mode, TuneMix uses the music channels from all favorite pages.

Bank or All Channels mode can be selected by tapping the Feature Settings button in Settings in the Swipe Area.

Tips for Obtaining the Best Experience from TuneMix

Familiarize yourself with the following tips to help you obtain the best experience from TuneMix:

2. Tap the Back icon in the upper left corner to exit.

Power Options

Power Options allow you to set how Commander Touch behaves when the power button is pressed

to turn Commander Touch off, and when power is removed from the ACC (accessory) power connection.

There are two modes, Standby Mode and Sleep Mode. Standby Mode requires that the ACC (accessory) power connection is connected to the ACC connection in your vehicle. If instead your installation connected the ACC power connection together with the BAT (battery) power connection, Commander Touch can only function in Sleep Mode.

SiriusXM strongly recommends that you properly connect the ACC line and use Standby Mode. Sleep mode should only be used for installations where the vehicle does not have a switched power source for the ACC connection.

1. Standby Mode: Standby mode has two types of behavior, depending upon whether the ACC (accessory) power connection has power.

• ACC power connection has power (when the vehicle’s ignition is on): Pressing the Power button for one second will turn off the display screen, turn off the FMDA25 FM Direct Adapter (if used in the installation), and turn off the Power button light. The tuner will remain on and the channel content will be temporarily stored. When the Power button is pressed again, the screen will turn back on, and the channel will play.

TIP! A typical scenario would be where your vehicle is running, but you wanted to turn Commander Touch off so you could listen to something else on the vehicle’s stereo system, like the AM or FM radio, but wanted to return to the channel you were listening to on SiriusXM and not miss anything.

• ACC power connection does not have power (when you turned the vehicle’s ignition off): If the Delayed Power Off Mode is set to Off, Commander Touch will turn off. You will need to press the Power button to turn it on again.

If the Delayed Power Off Mode is set to 10, 20, or 30 minutes, the display screen, the FMDA25

FM Direct Adapter (if used in the installation), and the Power button light will turn off. The tuner will remain on, the current channel will be paused, and the channel content will be temporarily stored. If power is restored to the ACC power connection (the vehicle’s ignition is turned back on) before the delayed power off time expires (10, 20, or 30 minutes), the screen will turn back on, and the channel will resume playing from the point where it was paused. If the delayed power off timer expires before power is restored to the ACC power connection, Commander Touch will turn itself off.

Commander Touch User Guide

TIP! A typical scenario would be where you needed to exit your vehicle for a short time, perhaps to grab a cup of coffee. You’d turn the ignition off, do the errand, return before the delayed power off time expired, and restart the vehicle. Commander Touch would automatically turn back on, and begin playing from the point where you had turned the vehicle off. The delayed power off timer protects your vehicle from a dead battery by turning Commander Touch off if you are unable to return to the vehicle within 10, 20, or 30 minutes.

2. Sleep Mode: In Sleep Mode, when either the power button is pressed for one second, or the ACC power line does not have power (typically when you turn the vehicle off), Commander Touch will turn off. You will need to press the Power button to turn it on again.

CAUTION! Sleep mode is only recommended for installations where the vehicle does not have a switched power connection for the ACC to be connected. Sleep mode will turn OFF Commander Touch, but there will still be some extra current consumption that can lead to battery drain if left in this mode for long periods.

Setting the Delayed Power Off Mode Timer

This setting is only used when the Power Button Mode is set to Standby mode.

1. In the Swipe Area, swipe to Settings, swipe up or down if necessary, and tap Power Options.
