Installation
SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional instal-
lation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for se-
lecting a suitable mounting location, installation of the antenna, and routing all the necessary
wires and cables. If the FM reception within your vehicle proves to be poor, an installer will
have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter, or an audio cable, to
connect the audio output of the vehicle dock directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your
SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a profes-
sional installation service.
Installing the Vehicle Dock
When installing the vehicle dock in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where it
will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The loca-
tion should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be
located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen.
The mounting accessories necessary to install the vehicle dock in a vehicle are provided.
Figure 1 shows two examples of the SIRIUS radio mounted in a vehicle: A is the suction cup
mount method, and B is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.

DJUSTMENT HOLES
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 9) 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.
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.

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 10) 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 11.
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.
From the trunk, or rear of the vehicle, route the cable around the passenger compartment and
to the front of the vehicle, to the radio. 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 12) 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 vehicle dock. (Refer to
Figure 1 on page 9 for the location of this connector.)
Connecting the Cigarette Lighter Adapter
Connect the provided cigarette lighter adapter to the DC5V connection at the rear of the
vehicle dock. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 9 for the location of this connector.)
Docking the SIRIUS Radio
If your radio is a SIRIUS Plug and Play series ST or SV, you will need to install the vehicle
dock adapter provided with the kit. Refer to Figure 13 and place the vehicle dock lock in
the unlocked position (1). Install the adapter into the front of the vehicle dock, positioning it
behind the connector and against the backrest (2). Once the adapter is installed in the vehicle
dock, slide the lock to the locked position (3). The radio may now be placed into the vehicle
dock, pressing the radio down until it is fully seated.

Maximizing Audio Quality From Your SIRIUS Radio
There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio: Wireless
Connection or Direct Connection. The following sections will help you obtain the best perfor-
mance. For the latest information go to http://www.sirius.com/vehicleinstallation.
Wireless CONNeCTiON
Your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter sends the audio from your
SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 14)
90.1
Included with your SIRIUS radio is an FM Extender Cable to maximize the audio quality of
your SIRIUS radio when using a wireless audio connection. Should the wireless audio quality
without the FM Extender Cable be not acceptable, you can try using the FM Extender Cable
(or opt for a direct connection).
Wireless Audio Connection Without the FM Extender Cable
To tune your vehicle’s FM radio and your SIRIUS radio to the same FM channel (Figure 14):
Turn off your SIRIUS radio and tune through the FM channels on your vehicle’s 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. In the Settings or Menu in your SIRIUS radio, locate the FM
Frequency adjustments. Set the channel number on your SIRIUS radio to match the
SIRIUS preset on your vehicle’s radio. Refer to your user guide for detailed instructions
on how to do this.
1.
2.
Figure 14Figure 14
[ Installation ]
22
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 radio
models can store multiple FM transmit channels, so you can easily switch to the
best FM channel for each city. Refer to your user guide for details on this feature.
You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcasting in each city as
presets on your vehicle’s radio.
If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you
can also go to http://www.sirius.com/fmchannel and search for a suggested FM channel
based on your zip code.
Wireless Audio Connection Using the FM Extender Cable
The purpose of the FM Extender Cable is to maximize the audio quality of your SIRIUS radio
when using the FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio to transmit the audio to your vehicle’s
FM radio. Proper placement of the FM Extender Cable inside your vehicle in close proximity
to the vehicle’s own FM antenna will provide a strong FM signal for good reception. The FM
Extender Cable has suction cup mounts or permanent adhesive mounts for installing it on your
vehicle’s window.
Because of the different kinds of FM antennas found in vehicles, and the varied locations of
the antenna in each vehicle, SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your
vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install this product in
your vehicle, knowledge of your vehicle for locating the vehicle’s FM antenna, installation of
this product, and routing the cable and connecting it to your SIRIUS radio. Ask your SIRIUS
retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional
installation service.
[ Installation ] 23
The FM antennas found in vehicles are of four distinct types:
Aerial Type Fender Mounted FM
Antenna: A fixed or retractable aerial
antenna located on the front or rear
fender of the vehicle.
•
Aerial Type Roof Mounted FM An-
tenna: A fixed aerial antenna mounted
on the roof (often at the front or rear of
the roof, just above the window glass).
•
[ Installation ]
24
Before attempting installation, you should verify the type and location of the FM antenna in
your particular vehicle. If you have trouble locating it, consult the manual which accompanied
your vehicle, consult a dealer for your type of vehicle, or consult a professional installer.
On Glass Type FM Antenna: Wires on
the window glass of the vehicle, usually
near the top of the window. It may be
located on the windshield glass, the rear
window glass, or a rear side window in
some SUV and mini-van type vehicles
(and other vehicles). It will look similar to
the rear window defroster wires found in
many vehicles.
•
“Shark Fin” Type FM Antenna: A device
resembling a shark fin (or other shape)
located on the vehicle roof above the rear
window.
•
[ Installation ] 25
The FM Extender Cable should be placed inside the vehicle, as close as possible to the
vehicle’s FM antenna. A test mounting should be done first using the included suction cup
mounts to test the installation. Once an acceptable location has been found, you will remove
the suction cups and permanently adhere the FM Extender Cable using the adhesive mounts.
To install the FM Extender Cable in your vehicle, follow these instructions:
Attach the suction cups to the FM Extender Cable in the positions shown in Figure 15.
Suction Cups
In this step, follow the specific instructions in sub-step a, b, c, or d depending on the
type of FM antenna in your vehicle:
a. Installation Instructions for Vehicles with Aerial Type Fender Mounted FM Antenna.
For vehicles where the FM radio antenna is located on the front fender, the FM
Extender Cable should be mounted vertically on the front windshield at the edge of
the glass nearest to the antenna. (Figure 16)
For vehicles where the FM radio antenna is located on the rear fender, the FM
Extender Cable should be mounted vertically on the rear window at the edge of the
glass nearest to the antenna. (Figure 17)
Attach the FM Extender Cable to the section of glass closest to the FM antenna in
a vertical orientation. (Figure 16 or Figure 17) The wire between the two suction
cups should be pulled taut and as straight as possible, and should not obstruct the
driver’s view.

You should now hear the audio from your SIRIUS radio over your vehicle’s FM radio. If
the audio quality is not satisfactory, try moving the FM Extender Cable slightly to see if a
better signal can be obtained.
If you are mounting the FM Extender Cable in the headliner of the vehicle, skip this step.
When you are satisfied with the mounting location, remove the suction cup mounts and
peel the backing off the adhesive mounts. Permanently adhere it in the same position on
the glass (or A-Pillar), keeping it taut and as straight as possible. (Figure 24)
Adhesive Adhesive
Route the antenna cable to your SIRIUS radio. Use the included self adhesive cable
guides (if necessary) to hold the antenna wire in place until it reaches the weather
stripping or moulding at the edge of the window. Take advantage of any existing cable
channels or wiring conduits and route the cable around the passenger compartment to
the vehicle dock. 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 and secure any excess
antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden and secured.
Plug the FM Extender Cable into the FM OUT connector of the vehicle dock (Refer to
Figure 22 on page 31.)
This completes the installation of the FM Extender Cable. If you’re not sure which FM chan-
nels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you can also go to http://sirius.

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 25)
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 OUT” or “LINE OUT” jack on your SIRIUS
radio. Plug the other end into your “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack on your vehicle radio.
