[ Installation ]10InstallationSIRIUS 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 DockWhen 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.

[ Installation ] 11A.B.Depending upon the mounting location you select in your vehicle, the mount should be at-tached to the vehicle dock and installed as described in the following sections.Figure 1Figure 1

[ Installation ]12Suction Cup Mount Method (A)The suction cup mount may be attached to any smooth surface. Before attaching the suction cup mount to your windshield, you should check your state and local laws for regulations regarding mounting this device on your windshield.To mount the vehicle dock using the suction cup mount, assemble the mount as follows:Attach the vehicle dock to the suction cup mount using the provided screws. (Figure 2) Clean the area where you are attaching the suction cup with an alcohol wipe.1.2.Figure 2Figure 2

[ Installation ]16The angle of the vehicle dock may be changed by changing the position of foot D on the vent mount (Figure 6) to a different adjustment hole. (Figure 8)ADJUSTMENT HOLESInstalling the AntennaThe 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.4.Figure 8Figure 8

[ Installation ] 17Sedan/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.Rubber AntennaCover/TailProtectiveStripsAdhesiveStrainReliefCableFigure 9Figure 9Figure 10Figure 10Figure 11Figure 11

[ Installation ]18Connect 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-Figure 12Figure 12

[ Installation ] 21Maximizing Audio Quality From Your SIRIUS RadioThere 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 CONNeCTiONYour SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter sends the audio from your SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 14)90.1Included with your SIRIUS radio is an FM Extender Antenna to maximize the audio quality of your SIRIUS radio when using a wireless audio connection. Should the wireless audio qual-ity without the FM Extender Antenna be not acceptable, you can try using the FM Extender Antenna (or opt for a direct connection).Wireless Audio Connection Without the FM Extender AntennaTo 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 ]22Note: 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 AntennaThe purpose of the FM Extender Antenna 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 Antenna 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 Antenna has 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 ] 23The 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 ]24Before 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 ] 25The FM Extender Antenna 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 Antenna using the adhesive mounts.To install the FM Extender Antenna in your vehicle, follow these instructions:Attach the suction cups to the FM Extender Antenna in the positions shown in Figure 15.Suction CupsIn 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.
