3 Snap the mount onto the vent.
To remove, push the mount into the vent, then lift up.
Install the Adhesive Mount
CAUTION: The adhesive used with the adhesive mount may make it difficult to remove. Do not
install this mount on leather surfaces and make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).
1 Locate a flat surface for the mount. Make sure there is ample room for the
vehicle dock and radio when installed.
2 Clean the surface with the alcohol pad and let it dry thoroughly.
3 Peel off the adhesive liner. Position, press, and hold the adhesive mount
in place for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT: Let the adhesive dry for 2 - 3 hours before attaching the vehicle dock and
radio to the mount. For best results let dry for 24 hours.
Vehicle Installation
NOTE: Do it yourself with the step-by-step instructions below if your vehicle has a cassette player or
audio input. If your vehicle does not have a cassette player or audio input, professional installation is
strongly recommended.
If your vehicle requires professional installation you will need to use either the XM SureConnect
(sold separately) or the XM FM Direct Adapter (sold separately).
Step 1: The Big Decision.
Pick a spot for your radio. Vent or Dashboard?
You can use either the vent mount or the adhesive mount for your radio depending on
your particular situation.
Install the Vent Mount
1 Locate a vent with horizontal slats sturdy
enough to hold your vehicle dock and radio.
2 Adjust the clamps to fit your vent.
Antenna placement options for other vehicles.
• Pickup Truck - Above front windshield, on the roof toward front of cab.
Centered between right and left sides.
• Convertible - On trunk lid, at least 3” from seam. Centered between right
and left sides.
2 Hide the wires inside.
The best place to hide your antenna
wire depends on your vehicle. It’s
usually easiest to run the wire from
the rear of the vehicle to the front
toward the radio by routing the
cable along the interior trim where it
meets the carpet, by gently pushing
it behind the edges of the trim. Then
bring the cable out from the trim
and route it under the carpet to the
dashboard or console. Plug the cable
into the radio and coil any extra
wires under the carpet or floor mat.
TIP! Always be careful to include enough
slack in your cable to accommodate open
doors or trunk lids. Use things typically
found around the home, like electrical tape
or twist ties, to secure cables in areas so
that hinges do not pinch the cable. Hide any
excess cable in the trim.
WARNINGS:
When using this product it is always important to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the
wheel. Not doing so could result in personal injury, death and/or damage to your SIRIUS XM Radio,
accessories and /or to your vehicle or other property.
The radio should be placed in your vehicle where it will not interfere with the function of safety
features, e.g., deployment of airbags. Failure to correctly place radio may result in injury to you or
others if the unit becomes detached during an accident and/or obstructs the deployment of an airbag.

Step 3: Connect Your Radio.
Almost there!
1 Plug the Antenna into the vehicle dock’s ANT IN connection.
2 Plug the Power Adapter into the vehicle dock’s DC IN connection.
3 Plug one of the audio adapters into the vehicle dock’s AUDIO OUT connection.
• Use the Aux In Cable if your vehicle has an audio input jack.
• Use the Cassette Adapter if your vehicle has a built-in cassette player.
4 Insert the dock into the vent or adhesive mount.
5 Insert your radio into the dock.
NOTE: If your vehicle is not equipped with a cassette player or an audio input, you will need to
use either the XM SureConnect (sold separately) or the FM Direct Adapter (sold separately). A
professional installation is strongly recommended if you choose to use this method. Professional
installation can help improve your radio’s reception and significantly reduce the visibility of wires.
To learn more, go to www.sirius.com/mirge.
• XM SureConnect (sold separately): You can listen to your radio through your vehicle’s stereo by
using the XM SureConnect. Simply find an unused FM frequency on the stereo and set your radio
to transmit on that same frequency. Refer to Set the FM Frequency page in your user guide for
more information.
• XM FM Direct Adapter (sold separately): This option directly connects the radio to your vehicle’s
audio system and antenna.

4 Turn the swivel to accommodate the vehicle dock and radio. Adjust the
tension via the center screw.
To remove, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. Warming the
pad with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive.
Step 2: Mount the Interoperable Vehicle Antenna.
You’ll be glad you did this right.
YOU MUST USE THE INCLUDED INTEROPERABLE ANTENNA WITH THIS RADIO
1 Place the antenna outside.
Leave at least 3” of metal around the antenna.
Use the rubber tail cover to hide and protect the
exposed wire. Feed the wire under the rubber
molding around the back windshield, into the seal
around the trunk. Route the cable along trunk wall
and into the interior cabin from there. Magnet
You can adjust this screw
to adjust the tension of the
mount with a screwdriver.
