Getting Started
SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this prod uct in your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install t his product in your vehicle, advice for
selecting a suitable mounting location, installation o f the antenna, and routing all the necessary wires and cables. An installer will have the nece ssary audio connection accessories to
provide optimal audio output of the SIRIUS receiver di rectly to your vehicle’s audio system.
Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a
professional installation service.
Maximizing Audio Quality From Your SIRIUS Receiver
There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS sate llite radio. The following procedures
will help you obtain the best performance.
Wir eles s Co nneC tion
Your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM t ransmitter sends the audio from your
SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 1)
To tune your transmitter:
Turn off your SIRIUS radio and tune through the FM cha nnels on your vehicle radio to
1.
locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an FM channel
[ Getting Started ]
10
Page 14
that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will int erfere with the performance of your
SIRIUS radio. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your
area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.
Turn on your SIRIUS radio. Press and hold the FM Prese t button, which is identified by
2.
the radio icon, to access the five FM preset lists. Select FM1 and tune to the channel that matches the SIRIUS preset on your vehicle rad io. Refer to the Menu Options/FM T ransmitter section of this manual for more detaile d instructions on how to do this.
Note : The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio is autom atically set to FM channel 88.1. This
may not be the best channel in your area.
Tip: If you regularly travel between cities with diffe rent active FM channels, you may need
to find channels that are not broadcasting in each cit y. Several SIRIUS receiver models can
store multiple FM transmit channels, so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for
each city. You will also want to set the FM channels t hat are not broadcasting in each city as
presets on your vehicle radio.
If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcast ing in your home or travel cities, you
can also go to http://SIRIUS.com/fmchannel and search for a suggested FM channel based
on your zip code.
Dir eCt Conn eCti ons
Direct connection provides better audio performance th an a wireless connection and removes
the possibility of interference from local FM broadcas ters.
Dire ct Wire d Audio Connection
If your vehicle radio offers an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connection, it is the best audio connection available. If the “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connector is located on the front of your vehicle
radio, this is also the easiest connection. (Figure 2)
Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection ty pe of your vehicle radio and your
1.
SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer. Your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8” stereo
male connector. Your local electronics retailer can he lp you determine the proper connection for your car radio.
Plug one end of the cable into the “AUDIO OUT” or “LIN E OUT” jack on your SIRIUS
2.
radio. Plug the other end into your “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack on your vehicle radio.
