Advanced Features
Listening to XM Using
Your Vehicle’s FM Radio
SKYFi2 has a built-in FM modulator
that transmits the XM audio signal to
any vehicle FM radio.You can use the
FM modulator in your vehicle cradle
only.
You will first need to determine if your
installation will require the use of the
FM modulator or the use of the cassette
adaptor. If your vehicle’s radio does not
have a cassette player, you will need to
use either the Professional wired FM or
the self install XM SureConnect method
of installation. Please read the XM
SureConnect installation guide before
installing.
1. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio.
2. Tune the FM radio to each of the
following FM frequencies:
88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 88.9, 106.7,
106.9, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5, 107.7, and
107.9.
3. Note the frequency that has no FM
station or the least amount of
interference.
4. Turn on your SKYFi2.
5. Press the “menu” button.
6. Use the scroll wheel to select
“FM Frequency.” Press the “XM”
button to confirm.
7. Use the scroll wheel to select the
frequency noted in step 4. Press
the “XM” button to confirm.
8. Press the “menu” button to
return to the main menu and
then again to return to the
play screen.
9. You should now hear XM pro-
gramming over your vehicle’s
FM radio. If the sound is not
clear or you hear interference
or static, try another frequen-
cy by repeating the process
above.
Note: If you are not using the FM modu-
lator, set the FM frequency to “FM Off”
for the best audio quality.
15
Advanced F eat ure s
Note: If you are traveling long dis-
tances, you may need to repeat this pro-
cedure periodically if you hear interfer-
ence from local FM stations.This is due
to the differences in the strength of FM
stations being broadcast in these areas,
and not to any problems associated
with your SKYFi2.
In the rare situation that you can-
not find an acceptable open FM
frequency, consult a professional
audio installer.You may improve
the audio quality by using the
Delphi FM Direct Adapter
(SA10112), sold separately.
Adjusting the Audio Level
The factory default setting should
work well in most situations.
However, if you hear distortion,
you should decrease the audio
level. If the XM audio level is too
low compared to other sources
such as CD, cassette, or other FM
stations, you may want to
increase the audio level.
1. Press the “menu” button.
2. Use the scroll wheel (or
remote) to select “Audio
Level.” Press the “XM” button
to confirm.
3. Use the scroll wheel (or remote) to
select the desired level. Press the
“XM” button to confirm selection.
4. Press the “menu” button to return
to the main menu and then again
to return to normal operation.
Note: This is not a volume control. This fea-
ture should be used to better match the
SKYFi2 audio level with the other audio
sources in the receiver. Set the volume
using the audio system or FM radio con-
nected to your SKYFi2.

Troubleshooting
SKYFi2 is designed and built to
provide you with trouble-free per-
formance without the need for
servicing. If it does not appear to
be functioning properly, follow
these troubleshooting steps first
to try to remedy the situation
yourself:
1. Attach all connections firmly
and securely.
2. Make sure the cigarette
lighter/auxiliary power socket
is clean and free of corrosion.
3. If you have installed SKYFi2 in a
vehicle and it does not power on,
check the 12V adapter fuse by
unscrewing the ribbed end of the
12V adapter. If required, replace
If you see this on the display:
NO SIGNAL
Cause: the XM signal is being
blocked.
ANTENNA
Cause: the XM antenna is not
plugged into SKYFi2.
OFF AIR
Cause: the channel selected is
not currently broadcasting.
You should:
Move SKYFi2’s antenna away from the obstruct-
ed area, e.g., an underground garage. Make sure
the vehicle antenna is mounted outside the vehi-
cle or the home antenna is positioned near a
south-facing window.
Make sure the antenna is correctly attached to
SKYFi2 and that the cable is not damaged or
kinked. Turn SKYFi2 off, then on, to reset this
message.
Tune to another channel.
with a 1-amp fuse only. If the 12V
adapter does not have a remov-
able end-cap, it has an internal
fuse that resets itself after it is left
unplugged for a period of time.
