Mounting the Receiver
Attach the adhesive mount to the receiver by sliding the flat portion of the mount into the u-
shaped connector on the back top edge of the receiver, as shown in Figure 2. Gently slide the
adhesive mount in until it snaps into place.
Be sure to select your mounting position carefully. Once the mount has been adhered to a
surface, it will not be possible to remove it and adhere it again.
Figure 2Figure 2
![](/img.php?id=719264&img=bgd.png)
[ Installation ] 11
Clean the selected mounting surface area in the vehicle with the alcohol swab. Unscrew the
adhesive foot from the mount. Peel the protective material off the adhesive on the foot and
press the foot firmly against the vehicle surface.
The adhesive mount should then be allowed to adhere for a minimum of 2-4 hours before use.
Best adhesion occurs after 24 hours.
Installing the Antenna
The optimum mounting location for the magnetic antenna is on the roof of the vehicle, with a
minimum unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and exactly 6½ inches from the rear
roof edge of the vehicle (the length of the rubber antenna cable cover/tail). It is important to
avoid any obstructions that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such as a roof rack,
a sunroof, roof mounted cargo containers, or other antennas. For convertible vehicles, the
antenna should be installed on the trunk lid.
For best performance, it is recommended that the antenna be installed with the rubber
antenna cable cover/tail. This rubber antenna cable cover/tail provides two benefits: first, it
positions the antenna the recommended distance from the rear window, rear door/hatch, or
trunk edge to give the antenna the best view of the sky. Secondly, it conceals and protects
the exposed antenna cable. The rubber antenna cable cover/tail has adhesive strips that hold
it securely in place.
The following illustrations show the recommended mounting locations of the antenna for
several types of vehicles. (Figure 3) Follow these recommendations for best performance from
the antenna.
Sedan/Coupe. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the
rear of the roof near the rear window.
Figure 3Figure 3

Pickup Truck. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the cab roof, located at the
rear of the roof near the rear window.
SUV/Mini-Van. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the
rear of the roof near the rear door/hatch.
Convertible. Mount the antenna along the center-line of the trunk lid, with the rubber antenna
cable cover/tail directed toward the rear window.
When you have selected a suitable mounting location, clean the area where the antenna and
rubber antenna cable cover/tail will be mounted with the supplied alcohol swab.

Strain
Relief
Cable
Connect the rubber antenna cable cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strain-
relief on the antenna sits into the rubber antenna cable cover/tail groove. (Figure 4) Route the
antenna cable through the wire channel in the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. Do not remove
the protective strips yet.
Temporarily position the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail in the selected mounting
area and route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the
rubber molding around rear window, as shown in Figure 5.
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, mini-vans and 5-door vehicles, bring
the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the
interior trim.

Figure 5Figure 5

[ Installation ] 13
From the trunk, or rear of the vehicle, route the cable around the passenger compartment and
to the front of the vehicle, to the receiver. Take care not pull the cable across sharp edges
that could damage it, and keep it away from areas where it might entangle feet. Coil any
excess antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden.
Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable
routing, peel the protective material from the adhesive strips and press the rubber antenna
cable cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle. Double check that the location of the antenna
and rubber antenna cable cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on rub-
ber antenna cable cover/tail for another 30 seconds. (Figure 6) At room temperature (68
degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car
washes and other contact with the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.
Connect the antenna cable to the ANT connection at the rear of the dock. (Refer to Figure 2
on page 21 for the location of this connector.)
Connecting the Cigarette Lighter Adapter
Connect the cigarette lighter power adapter to the receiver, and plug it into your vehicle.
(Refer to Figure 2 on page 21 for the location of this connector.)

Maximizing Audio Quality From Your SIRIUS Receiver
There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS satellite radio. The following procedures
will help you obtain the best performance.
Wireless ConneCtion
Your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter sends the audio from your
SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 7)
90.1
To tune your transmitter:
Turn off your SIRIUS radio and tune through the FM channels on your vehicle radio to
locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an FM channel
that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere 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 Menu button to access the FM
channel number list on your SIRIUS radio. Tune to the channel that matches the SIRIUS
preset on your vehicle radio. Refer to the Menu Options/FM Frequency section of this
manual for more detailed instructions on how to do this.
Note: The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio is automatically set to FM channel 88.1. This
may not be the best channel in your area.
Tip: If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may need
to find channels that are not broadcasting in each city. 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 that are not broadcasting in each city as
presets on your vehicle radio.

Figure 7Figure 7
![](/img.php?id=719264&img=bg11.png)
[ Installation ] 15
If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting 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.
DireCt ConneCtions
Direct connection provides better audio performance than a wireless connection and removes
the possibility of interference from local FM broadcasters.
Direct Wired Audio Connection
If your vehicle radio offers an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connection, it is the best audio connec-
tion 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 8)
Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle radio and your
SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer. Your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8” stereo
male connector. Your local electronics retailer can help you determine the proper con-
nection for your car radio.
Plug one end of the cable into the AUDIO jack on your SIRIUS radio. (Refer to Figure 2
on page 21 for the location of this connector.) Plug the other end into your “AUX IN” or
“LINE IN” jack on your vehicle radio.
FM OFF
NOTE: Refer to your vehicle radio manufacturer’s guidelines for correct installation.
NOTE: If the “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connection is on the back of your vehicle radio, you may
want to consider professional installation. (Figure 9)

FM OFF
Cassette Adapter
If your vehicle radio has a cassette player:
Purchase a Cassette Adapter at your local electronics retailer.
Connect the adapter between the AUDIO jack on your SIRIUS radio (refer to Figure 2 on
page 21 for the location of this connector) and the vehicle radio’s cassette slot. (Figure
10)
FM OFF
NOTE: Refer to the cassette adapter manufacturer’s guidelines for correct use.
SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter
If your vehicle radio does not have an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack, the SIRIUS FM Direct Adap-
tor provides a wired connection between your SIRIUS radio and your vehicle radio, eliminating
the outside static and interference you sometimes experience when using a wireless FM
connection. (Figure 11)
