Installation
SIRIUS suggests that you have your Sportster SP5 professionally-installed in your vehicle.
Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle,
advice for selecting a suitable mounting location for the Vehicle Dock, installation of the antenna,
and proper routing of all the necessary wires and cables. If the locations of your SIRIUS
radio and your vehicle’s FM antenna make the performance of your SIRIUS radio’s built-in
FM transmitter within your vehicle poor, a professional installer will have the necessary
accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter or 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 professional installation service.
Installing the Vehicle Dock
When installing the vehicle dock in your vehicle, choose a location that will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location 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 radio’s 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.
Note: The supplied suction cup mount and vent mount should work in most vehicles. If your
installation requires a different mounting option, check with a local electronics retailer for
other compatible mounts that are available separately.

Installing the Magnetic Antenna
Caution
Because adhesive is used in the installation of the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail, we recommend
that you install the antenna at or above room temperature (68° F). The adhesive on the Rubber
Cover/Tail may not adhere properly to the vehicle roof at temperatures lower than this. Warmer
temperatures will also make it easier to route of the antenna cable through the rubber molding
around the windows and in other areas in the vehicle. Maximum adhesion usually occurs within
72 hours at room temperature, so you should avoid car washes as well as other contact with
the antenna and Rubber Cover/Tail during this 72 hour period.
Warning
Be sure not to cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna cable during the
installation procedure. Damage to the antenna cable can degrade the SIRIUS signal or make
it unavailable, and can also cause water to intrude via the cable into the antenna causing the
antenna to fail.
Do not lengthen or shorten the antenna cable by cutting it. Doing so will cause the antenna to
not function properly.
Installation
Installing the magnetic antenna consists of two steps:
• Mounting the magnetic antenna and Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail on the vehicle
• Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the Vehicle Dock
ANTENNA MOUNTING
The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold
it in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also makes the antenna easy to
remove for transferring it to other vehicles.
[ Installation ]
21
Figure 9 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles.
These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:
Sedan/Coupe
Pickup Truck
SUV/Mini-Van
Convertible
Figure 9
• Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near the
rear window.
• Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the windshield.
• Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear window.
The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it.
It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from receiving
the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a sunroof, a
roof-mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle has a potential obstruction,
be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than
3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible).
Note: Read the DO and DO NOT installation tips beginning on page 29 for additional antenna
installation information.
22 [ Installation ]
Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:
1. Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstructed
area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.
2. Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, and press the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The Rubber Cover/Tail will help to position the
antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.

3. Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with the
alcohol prep pad.
4. Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (see Figure 10) and press the rubber
Cover/Tail firmly into place on the vehicle.
5. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct, and
continue to press firmly down on the Rubber Cover/Tail for another 30 seconds. At room
temperature (68° F), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this
period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and the Rubber Antenna
Cover/Tail.

CABLE ROUTING
After you have mounted the antenna you can route the antenna cable to the SIRIUS
Vehicle Dock. Separate antenna cable routing procedures are provided for each type of vehicle:
Sedan/Coupe, Pickup Truck, SUV/Mini-Van and Convertible.
Note that additional breakout illustrations for each step of the antenna cable routing procedures
can be found on the SIRIUS website at http://www.sirius.com. Click on the Install/Activate link
and then follow the link for the Car Installation Tips.

3. Route Cable
Along Trunk Wall
and Into Cabin
Figure 11
24 [ Installation ]
Follow these detailed cable installation instructions:
1. Feed the cable from the antenna underneath the rubber molding around the rear window.
Use a plastic putty knife or similar object to lift the rubber molding around the rear window
and tuck the antenna cable underneath the molding. Route the antenna cable around and
down the window to the lowest point. If your rear window does not have rubber molding,
SIRIUS recommends consulting with a professional installer.
2. Route the antenna cable out of the window molding and into the rubber weather stripping
around the trunk opening. Lift the weather stripping from the opening and tuck the cable
inside it, then replace the weather stripping. To avoid sharp bends in the cable, run the
cable inside of the weather stripping for a few inches, then remove the cable from the
weather stripping inside of the trunk. Keep the cable away from hinges, gears, etc., that
could damage it.
3. Route the cable out from the rubber weather stripping and along the trunk wall. Continue
routing the cable into the cabin through a conduit or along an existing wiring harness.
4. Route the cable through the main cabin area under the interior trim, towards the front
of the vehicle. Use the plastic putty knife to lift the plastic trim just enough to tuck the
cable under underneath. Avoid side airbag locations on back pillars and above the doors.
(Airbag locations are marked with “SRS” logos.) Be careful not to crimp or cut the cable.
5. Bring the cable out from the trim near the firewall and route it under the carpet toward
the dashboard or console. Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the
carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable with
wire ties.
6. Bring the end of the cable out at the SIRIUS Vehicle Dock location. Leave yourself enough
cable so you can easily connect it to the antenna connector on the Vehicle Dock.

Connecting Your SIRIUS Radio to Your Vehicle’s Audio System
There are two ways to connect your SIRIUS Sportster SP5 to your vehicle’s audio system:
Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one will perform best in your vehicle
depends on your vehicle’s audio system.
For the latest information go to http://www.sirius.com/vehicleinstallation.
Direct Wired Audio Connection
If your vehicle’s audio system has an “AUX I N ” or “L INE I N ” jack it is the best-quality audio
connection you can use for your SIRIUS radio. (And if the A UX IN or LINE IN connector is located
somewhere on the front of your vehicle radio or elsewhere in the cabin, this is also the easiest
way to connect your SIRIUS radio.)
1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle’s audio system and
your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock at your local electronics retailer.
• The Vehicle Dock requires a male 1/8” stereo connector.
2. Plug the cable’s male 1/8” stereo connector into the A UDIO jack on the left side of the Vehicle
Dock. Plug the other end into the A UX IN /LINE IN connector on your vehicle’s audio system.

Direct FM Audio Connection
If your vehicle’s audio system does not have an Aux In/Line In connection, a SIRIUS FM Direct
Adapter (sold separately) will provide the next best quality connection between your SIRIUS radio
and your vehicle radio. You will listen to your SIRIUS radio through your car radio’s FM tuner, but
the SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter connects your vehicle’s FM radio directly to your SIRIUS radio’s
FM Out jack, eliminating the outside static and interference you sometimes experience when
using a wireless FM connection. (See Figure 19.)

Wireless Connection
If you cannot connect your SIRIUS radio directly to your vehicle’s audio system, your SIRIUS
radio contains an FM transmitter that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s FM radio.
To use this you need to tune the SIRIUS receiver’s FM transmitter to an FM frequency that’s not
being used 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.) See Figure 21.

To listen to your SIRIUS radio, turn your SIRIUS radio ON, then turn your vehicle’s FM radio ON
and press the SIRIUS preset you set in Step 2, on page 38.
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. Your SIRIUS Sportster SP5 can store up
to 5 preset FM transmit channels (see Figure 24, left), so you can easily switch to the best FM
channel for each city.
• To switch the FM transmit preset, press-and-hold the FM FREQUENCY button on the SP5 front
panel, or press the FM F REQUENCY button on the remote. (See page 75.)
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 Antenna
Your SIRIUS radio includes an FM Extender Antenna that can maximize the audio quality of
your SIRIUS radio when using a wireless audio connection. Should the wireless audio quality
without the FM Extender Antenna be not acceptable, you can try using the FM Extender Antenna
(or opt for a direct connection, as described previously). 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 in your vehicle.
[ Installation ]
39
Because of the different kinds and locations of radio antennas found in different vehicles,
SIRIUS suggests that the FM Extender Antenna be professionally installed in your vehicle.
Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install the Extender Antenna,
knowledge of your vehicle for locating its radio antenna, 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.
Four distinct types of radio antennas are found in vehicles:
• Aerial-Type Fender-Mounted
Radio Antenna:
A fixed or retractable aerial antenna
located on the front or rear fender of
the vehicle.
• Aerial-Type Roof-Mounted
Radio Antenna:
A fixed aerial antenna mounted on the
roof (often at the front or rear of the
roof, just above the window glass).
40 [ Controls ]
• On-Glass Type Radio 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 Radio Antenna:
A device resembling a shark fin (or
other shape) located on the vehicle
roof above the rear window.
Before attempting installation, you should verify the type and location of your vehicle’s radio
antenna. 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.
[ Controls ]
41
The FM Extender Antenna should be mounted inside the vehicle, as close as possible to the
vehicle antenna. A test mounting should be done first using the included suction cup mounts
to test the installation. Once you find a location that provides good results, you will remove the
suction cups and permanently adhere the FM Extender Antenna using the supplied adhesive
mounts.
To install the FM Extender Antenna in your vehicle, follow these instructions:
1. Attach the suction cups to the FM Extender Antenna in the positions shown in Figure 25.
Suction Cups
Figure 25
2. In this step, follow the specific instructions in sub-step a, b, c, or d depending on the type
of radio antenna in your vehicle:
a. Installation Instructions for Vehicles with Aerial-Type Fender-Mounted Antenna.
For vehicles where the radio antenna is located on the front fender, the FM Extender
Antenna should be mounted vertically on the front windshield at the edge of the
glass nearest to the antenna. (Figure 26, on page 43)
For vehicles where the radio antenna is located on the rear fender, the FM
Extender Antenna should be mounted vertically on the rear window at the edge of the
glass nearest to the antenna. (Figure 27, on page 43)
Attach the FM Extender Antenna to the section of glass closest to the vehicle
antenna in a vertical orientation. (Figure 26 or Figure 27, on page 43) The wire
between the two suction cups should be pulled taut and as straight as possible, and
should not obstruct the driver’s view.
Important Caution: In some states it may not be legal to put the FM Extender
Antenna on the windshield glass. In this case, mount the FM Extender Antenna
on the A-pillar or B-pillar adjacent to the FM antenna (see Figures 26 and 27,
on page 43).

Instant Replay
The SIRIUS Sportster SP5 is capable of storing the audio of the channel that you’re listening to
for later playback (up to approximately 44 minutes, depending upon the channel to which you
are tuned). As soon as you tune to a channel, the radio automatically begins storing the audio,
enabling you to rewind at any time to replay the audio again.

Pressing-and-holding the F AST -FORWARD button for one second advances the Instant
Replay playback forward in 10-second intervals, which increases to 15- and then 30-second
intervals the longer the F AST -FORWARD button remains pressed. Playback begins immediately
when the button is released. When you reach the end of the stored audio you will hear a
beep, the SP5 will exit the Instant Replay mode and resume playing the live broadcast.
• REWIND Button
: This rewinds (moves backwards) through the stored audio.
Pressing-and-releasing the R EWIND button rewinds to the start of the current song or
program in the stored audio, and playback automatically begins. Repeatedly pressing and releasing the R EWIND button continues to move backwards in the stored audio
to the start of each previous song or program until the beginning of the stored audio is
reached. If you reach the beginning of the stored audio you will hear a beep (if the PowerUp Tone option is enabled, see page 70) and Instant Replay playback automatically begins.
Depending upon where in a particular broadcast the channel was selected, the start of a
song or program may not be available in memory. If this occurs, playback will start from
where the audio began to be stored.
Pressing-and-holding the R EWIND button for one second rewinds the Instant Replay
playback in 10-second intervals, which increase to 15- and then 30-second intervals the
longer the REWIND button remains pressed. Playback begins immediately when the button is
released. If you reach the beginning of the stored audio while rewinding you will hear a beep
and playback will automatically begin.

A diamond-shaped Play Position Indicator is superimposed over the Progress Bar, indicating
the current playback position in the Instant Replay memory. When you are playing the stored
audio, this indicator will move to the left, showing the progression of the playback through the
Instant Replay memory. When you pause the playback, the Play Position Indicator will stop
moving, indicating your current position in the Instant Replay memory.
While you are in the playback mode, the radio continues to store the audio from the channel.
Obviously, you will be unable to “catch up” to the live broadcast during playback, as new audio
is being stored at the same rate at which you are playing back the stored audio. You can use
the F AST-FORWARD button to skip ahead or exit the Instant Replay mode, and begin listening to
the live broadcast again.
When paused, and the Instant Replay memory is 10 seconds from becoming full, you will hear
two beeps (if the Power-Up Tone option is enabled). When the memory is full, the SP5 will
automatically begin playback, and will continue to store the channel audio, overwriting the
oldest portion of the audio previously stored.
