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:

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

FM Direct Adapter (Sold Separately): If you choose to use the FM Direct Adapter to transmit XM audio through your car stereo, we recommend professional installation.

Cassette Adapter (Sold Separately): Use the cassette adapter if your vehicle’s audio system has a built in cassette player. The cassette adapter will provide the best audio quality.

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).

Note: Separate purchase of one of the above accessories is required in order to install your XpressEZ

2. Once you have chosen your method of installation, next you can mount your XpressEZ.

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 dock your XpressEZinto

the cradle. Once in place you can activate your XpressEZ.
