Vehicle installation

Every vehicle is different; for your safety, follow all instructions carefully. Consult a

professional installer if you have questions.

1. To begin, first decide which method of installation is best for your vehicle:

Cassette Adapter (Included): Use the cassette adapter if your vehicle’s audio system has a built in cassette player.

XM SureConnect (Sold Separately): You can listen to your XpressRthrough your car stereo by using XpressR’s built-in FM modulator and the XM SureConnect. Simply find an unused FM frequency on the stereo and set your XpressRto transmit on that same frequency.

FM Direct Adapter (Sold Separately): The third option is the FM Direct Adapter. We recommend professional installation if you choose to use this method of install.

Audio input: Some vehicles come with an audio input jack. If your vehicle has this type of input you can simply use a mini audio cable (sold separately).

2. Once you have chosen your method of installation, next decide where in your vehicle you would like to mount your XpressR. The two included methods are vent mount and swivel mount:

Swivel MountVent Mount

3. Next decide the best location for your XM antenna. Mount this antenna to the roof or trunk of the vehicle. During installation, make sure you are outdoors and the antenna is not obstructed by tall buildings.

4. Finally you will connect all of the plugs to the car cradle and lock your XpressRinto place. Once in place you can activate your Xpress

Now that you have all of the parts you need, you are ready to begin installing your XpressR.

Keep excess cable behind or under the dashboard.

Step 1: Mounting the XM Antenna

Mount the XM antenna to the roof or trunk of the vehicle. During installation, make sure you are outdoors and the antenna is not obstructed by tall buildings. For best results mount the XM antenna to the outside of your vehicle. Below are the recommended options.

The XM antenna contains a strong magnet, allowing it to stick to any metal parts of your vehicle.

Step 2: Installing the Vent Mount or Swivel Mount

Installing the vent mount

To install the vent mount, find a horizontal vent that is strong enough to hold your XpressRand car cradle. To remove the vent mount, push it into the vent and lift upwards slightly to release the mount’s hooks from the vent vane.

vehicle installation

Some parts of the vent mount can be adjusted to better suit your vent.

Installing the swivel mount

To install the swivel mount, first find a suitable location. The swivel mount’s adhesive is very strong and may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces and make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).

Clean the mounting surfaces with the surface preparation kit.

Peel away the adhesive liner and firmly press the swivel mount to the surface for 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours before using the mount

adhesive liner

You can orient your swivel different ways to accommodate the space available in your vehicle.

You can adjust this screw to adjust the tension of the mount with a screwdriver.

If you need to remove the mount, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. Warming with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive. Your swivel mount comes with an extra adhesive pad.

Step 3: How to receive XM through your car stereo
