Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a Delphi
XM SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver.
Your SKYFi2 gives you access to over
170 XM Satellite Radio channels of
music, news, and information from
coast to coast.*
Important: The FCC and FAA have not certified the
Delphi XM SKYFi2 Satellite Radio Receiver for use in
any aircraft (neither portable nor permanent installation).
Therefore, Delphi cannot support this type of application or installation.
*XM subscription required for reception of XM service.
Not available in Alaska or Hawaii.
SKYFi2 improves upon the awardwinning SKYFi Satellite Radio Receiver
by offering these new features:
• Builtin FM modulator. Listen to XM
through any vehicle FM radio.
• 30Minute Replay. Pause and
replay up to 30 minutes of live
XM broadcast.
• TuneSelect. Find your favorite
songs by song title or artist name
if they’re currently playing on any
XM channel.
• Personalized stock and sports

has been designed to maximize
the performance of SKYFi2.
Caution: Your SKYFi2 must be used with the enclosed connecting devices or other approved accessories
to ensure maximum performance. Do not modify or alter wires or connections in any way. Shortening
wires or connections may prevent proper functioning of the electrical circuit, which may damage your
receiver and will void your warranty.

Advanced Features
Listening to XM Using
Your Vehicle’s FM Radio
14
Advanced Features
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 programming over your vehicle’s
FM radio. If the sound is not
clear or you hear interference
or static, try another frequency by repeating the process
above.
Note: If you are not using the FM modulator, set the FM frequency to “FM Off”
for the best audio quality.
In the rare situation that you cannot 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 feature 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 connected to your SKYFi2.
15
Advanced Features
Note: If you are traveling long distances, you may need to repeat this procedure periodically if you hear interference 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.

Troubleshooting
28
Reference
SKYFi2 is designed and built to
provide you with trouble-free performance 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
with a 1-amp fuse only. If the 12V
adapter does not have a removable end-cap, it has an internal
fuse that resets itself after it is left
unplugged for a period of time.
If you see this on the display:
You should:
NO SIGNAL
Cause: the XM signal is being
blocked.
Move SKYFi2’s antenna away from the obstructed area, e.g., an underground garage. Make sure
the vehicle antenna is mounted outside the vehicle or the home antenna is positioned near a
south-facing window.
ANTENNA
Cause: the XM antenna is not
plugged into SKYFi2.
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.
OFF AIR
Cause: the channel selected is
not currently broadcasting.
Tune to another channel.
You should:
You do not receive all XM channels
you have subscribed to.
Contact XM Satellite Radio (see page 6).
Audio sounds distorted.
Reduce audio output level (see page 15).
Audio is too soft.
Increase audio output level (see page 15).
You cannot tune to a channel.
Check that you have not chosen to skip that channel (see page 24). If the problem persists, contact
XM Satellite Radio at 1.800.967.2346. Verify that you are authorized to receive that channel as part
of your XM subscription, and that you have not asked XM Satellite Radio to block that channel.
No song title or artist name
displayed.
Nothing is wrong with your SKYFi2. That information may be in the process of being updated.
On some sports and news channels, there is no title or artist information.
Audio has static while listening
through your vehicle’s FM radio.
Change to another FM frequency (see page 14). If the problem persists and you are using the
FM modulator in a vehicle, change to a hard-wired FM modulator (see page 15, page 27).
Audio on XM instant traffic and
weather channels sounds different
from other XM channels.
Nothing is wrong with your SKYFi2. These channels use a different audio technology than the
other XM channels.
