Introduction

Installing the XM SkyDock App

Installing the XM SkyDock Application

To operate the XM SkyDock you will need to install the application from the App

Store. There are two ways to locate and install the XM SkyDock App:

1. You can use your iPhone to install the

XM SkyDock App directly from the App

Store (as long as you are in an area with

Wifi or 3G coverage).

2. From your computer, you can install the

XM SkyDock App directly from the App

Store in iTunes. You will then need to

synchronize your iPhone with iTunes to

complete the installation.

Once the XM SkyDock App has been

successfully installed, the Home Screen will

display the SkyDock icon on the Home screen.

Tap the icon to launch the XM SkyDock App.

Vehicle Installation

Installing the XM SkyDock in Your Vehicle

WARNING! DO NOT attempt to install the XM SkyDock while driving.

Mounting the Magnetic Mount Antenna

The XM SkyDock incorporates an XM Satellite Radio Tuner.

A special magnetic vehicle mount antenna is included

that, when properly installed, will allow you to receive

the signal. Proper placement is very important. Consult

a professional installer if you are uncomfortable with

installing the antenna yourself.

Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the outside

of your vehicle, on a horizontal surface that will always face the sky. The antenna

contains a strong magnet that will stick to any metal part of your vehicle.

For most vehicles the best location is on the roof above the front windshield, as close to

centered between the left and right sides as the cable length will allow. For convertible

vehicles that do not have room above the windshield, place the antenna on the hood

of the vehicle near the back corner. Consult a professional installer if your vehicle roof

or hood is non-metallic (i.e. fiberglass) or you have difficulty finding a location for your

antenna.

IMPORTANT: The XM SkyDock uses a unique antenna. Do not substitute an antenna

from any other XM radio for the XM SkyDock antenna. Replacement XM SkyDock

antennas are available from shop.xmradio.com.

Recommended Antenna Locations

Sedans and Coupes Pickups and SUVs Convertibles*

* If the antenna can not be

placed above the windshield

place on vehicle hood.

TIP: When mounting the Magnetic Mount Antenna, be sure that the area is clean and

dry. Avoid locating the antenna near other antennas (i.e. GPS, Cellular, or AM/FM) as

well as roof rack or other items that can obstruct the view to the satellites.

IMPORTANT! Consult a professional installer if your vehicle roof or hood is non-

metallic (i.e., fiberglass), or you have difficulty finding a location for your antenna. (See

xmradio.com/accessories or visit your favorite retailer.)

Vehicle Installation

If you are installing the antenna at the roof edge, or hood edge, install the Cable

Routing Adapter to direct the antenna cable downward.

Place the antenna

wire into the groove

of the Cable Routing

Slide the Cable Routing

Adapter down the antenna

Cable Routing

Adapter orientation

Press the antenna wire under the rubber molding around the front windshield to the

nearest corner. Then route the cable out of the windshield molding and into the rubber

weather stripping around the door opening. Lift the weather stripping from the opening

and tuck the cable inside it, then replace the weather stripping. Run the cable inside of

the weather stripping to the bottom of the door opening.

Recommended: Hide the antenna wire inside

the cabin. Pull the cable out of the weather

stripping at the bottom of the door opening and

route it under the carpet toward the cigarette

lighter power adapter socket. 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.

TIP: Always be careful to include enough

slack in your routing to accommodate open

doors or trunk lids. Use electrical tape to

secure the cable in areas so that hinges do

not pinch the cable with the door.

Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna

connector into the XM SkyDock’s

Antenna connector. The antenna plug

and cable will fit into the recess on the

top of the XM SkyDock base.

Inserting the Spacers

Your XM SkyDock comes with three numbered rubber spacers that assure a proper fit

with different iPhone and iPod touch models, with and without aftermarket cases that

surround and protect the iPhone or iPod touch.

IMPORTANT: The XM SkyDock will accommodate many,

but not all types of after-market cases. Compatible

cases must be no thicker than 2mm in any dimension

and must have a large enough open area around the

connector at the bottom of the iPhone or iPod touch to

allow it to seat properly in the XM SkyDock.

Spacer 1: For iPhone with compatible case

Spacer 2: For iPhone without case; for iPod touch with

compatible case

Spacer 3: For iPod touch without case

Install the appropriate Spacer by inserting it all the

way into the recess in the XM SkyDock.

Removing the Spacers

1. Use one finger to apply sliding pressure on

the Spacer towards one of the Side Grip

arms.

2. Using another finger, pry up under the edge

of the Spacer to release it.

Vehicle Installation

Finding a Location for the XM SkyDock

The XM SkyDock mounts into your vehicle’s

cigarette lighter or power adapter

socket. If your vehicle has more

than one, be sure to choose the

one that doesn’t interfere with the

driver’s vision, access to driving

controls, doesn’t interfere with the

deployment of airbags or other

safety equipment, and makes

the iPhone easily accessible for

operation.

NOTE: After plugging the

XM SkyDock into the

cigarette lighter socket,

align the cables so they do

not interfere with the safe

operation of the vehicle.

If the XM SkyDock has power from the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket, it will not turn

ON until the iPhone is inserted into the XM SkyDock. If the iPhone is removed, the XM

SkyDock will turn OFF.

NOTE: If you want to turn OFF your XM SkyDock while the iPhone is inserted, press and

hold the Power button on the front of the XM SkyDock for 3 seconds. Repeat to turn

back ON.

Adjusting the Flexible Stalk

The XM SkyDock’s flexible stalk gives you

lots of freedom to position the iPhone

so it is convenient for you to use. You

can twist the stalk up to 90° in either

direction (see illustration), and bend it to

be clear of controls or other items.

CAUTION! DO NOT over-rotate

the stalk. Doing so could cause

damage.

Rotating the XM SkyDock

You can rotate the XM SkyDock up to 100° in either direction so that the iPhone

is landscape-oriented instead of portrait oriented. The XM SkyDock App will

automatically orient the screen image to match the XM SkyDock’s orientation.

CAUTION! DO NOT over-rotate

past the stopping point. Doing so

could damage the XM SkyDock.

NOTE: Ensure that the XM

SkyDock and iPhone will not block

airbags as they deploy, or block

any controls needed for operating

the vehicle.

Connect the XM SkyDock to Your Audio System

If your vehicle’s audio system has an auxiliary audio input (or Aux In) it is the best

quality audio connection you can use to connect your XM SkyDock to. Simply connect

the included Aux In Cable between XM SkyDock’s

Audio

connector directly to your

vehicle’s auxiliary audio input.

Vehicle Installation

If your vehicle’s audio system does not have an audio input, your XM SkyDock

incorporates a special FM transmitter called

Power

Connect that will ‘broadcast’ its

audio to your vehicle’s FM radio through your vehicle’s power system. Refer to “Setting

Up the PowerConnect FM Transmitter” on page 28 for details.

NOTE: An FM Direct Adapter (sold

separately) will provide superior FM

performance between your XM SkyDock and

your vehicle radio. You will still listen to

your XM SkyDock through your vehicle

radio’s FM tuner, but the FM Direct Adapter

connects the XM SkyDock’s FM Out

connector directly to your vehicle’s FM

radio, eliminating the outside static and

interference you can sometimes experience

when using the PowerConnect FM

transmitter.

FM Direct Adapters are available at your local XM retailer or at shop.xmradio.com.

Professional installation of the FM Direct Adapter is strongly recommended. See your

local SIRIUS|XM retailer.

NOTE: If your vehicle’s audio system does not have an

Aux Input but has a cassette player, you can purchase a

cassette adapter from your local electronics retailer or

from XM at shop.xmradio.com. Plug the adapter’s

connector into the XM SkyDock’s Audio connector and

insert the adapter into your vehicle’s cassette player.

Appendix

How to Find Available FM Channels in Your Area

Before attempting any of the procedures below, you should park your vehicle in a safe

location. Do not attempt to set up your FM channels or any XM SkyDock App function

while driving.

Power

Connect allows you to listen to XM audio through your vehicle’s FM radio. You will

first need to find an available FM channel, which is a channel that is not being used by

an FM radio station in your area. When you tune your FM radio to an available channel,

you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music.

Once you have found an available channel, you need to tune the XM SkyDock’s built-in

transmitter to the same channel to receive XM sound through your vehicle’s radio.

We recommend one of the following two methods to find an available FM channel:

1. Use the SIRIUS|XM FM Channel Finder

Use the SIRIUS|XM FM Channel Finder at www.xmradio.com/fmchannel. Go to the

website and enter your zip code. The Channel Finder will suggest a list of available

FM channels in your area. For convenience, write down or print out the list.

Tune your XM SkyDock to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not yet

activated) and turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Pick the first FM channel on your

Channel Finder list and tune the FM radio to that channel. If you do not hear a

local FM station broadcast, then tune the XM SkyDock FM transmitter to the

same channel. (Follow the instructions in “FM Settings” on page 62.) You should

hear the XM channel through your vehicle’s radio. If you are satisfied with the

sound quality, you’re done! If this FM channel doesn’t work well for you, work

down the list until you find an FM channel that allows you to hear XM clearly.

2. Manually tune through your local FM channels

Tune your XM SkyDock to a favorite XM channel (or to channel 1, if it’s not yet

activated) and turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’

tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel one-

by-one (88.1 followed by 88.3 etc.) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a

local FM radio station. Write down each FM channel that has only static or silence

on it, until you reach 107.9.

Once you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find

the one that provides the best match for XM SkyDock. Tune your FM radio to the

first FM channel on your list, then tune the XM SkyDock’s FM transmitter to the

same channel. (Follow the instructions in “FM Settings” on page 62.) You should

hear the XM channel through your vehicle’s radio. If you are satisfied with the

sound quality, you’re done! If this FM channel doesn’t work well for you, work

down the list until you find an FM channel that allows you to hear XM clearly.

Helpful Hints:

You may find a channel with no audio or noise that does not work with your XM SkyDock.

It is possible that some type of inaudible interference is present that prevents reception

of the XM SkyDock broadcast. Your only option is to use another channel or installation

method.

If you regularly drive from one location to another, such as your daily commute, you may

need to use different FM channels along your route for best performance. If this is the

case, we recommend saving the best FM channels as presets on your FM radio and your

XM SkyDock. Then you simply select and match the best channel for the area you are in.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

If you see this on the Screen: Try This

Acquiring Signal •Make sure that the vehicle is outdoors with a clear

view of the sky.

•Make sure the Magnetic Mount Antenna is mounted

outside of the vehicle.

•Move your Magnetic Mount Antenna away from any

obstructed area. For example, if you are parked in an

underground garage, you should receive a signal after

leaving the garage.

Check Antenna •Make sure that the antenna cable is firmly and

securely plugged into the ANTENNA connection on

the XM SkyDock.

•Quit the XM SkyDock App and relaunch. The message

may reset.

•If the message persists, most likely the antenna cable
