Warning: This guide contains important installation information. Please read,
understand, and follow the instructions in this guide. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury, death, and/or damage to your XM Satellite Radio
receiver, accessories, and/or to your vehicle or property.
Caution: Use your XM SureConnect accessory with only the enclosed components and approved connectors. Do not modify wires or other connectors in
any way; you could cause a malfunction, which could damage your receiver
and will void your warranty.
Choosing the Proper XM SureConnect Installation
To choose the proper XM SureConnect installation method, first you need to
determine the location of your vehicle’s FM antenna, and plan how to properly
route the XM SureConnect cables to your FM antenna location.
The FM antenna type and location will determine which option you will need. The
chart below and illustrations on page 5 will assist you in locating your vehicle’s
FM antenna from one of seven most common locations.
Note: XM SureConnect was not designed for use on retractable (automatic up
and down) FM antennas and some FM antennas that are custom shapes that
were designed to match the styling of the vehicle. If your vehicle has either of
these types of FM antennas, you will not be able to use the XM SureConnect
accessory. You will need to use the professional wired FM method of installation.
For best audio performance, you will either install the XM SureConnect by clipping directly to an external FM antenna (locations 1 through 4) or directly on an
internal on-glass FM antenna (locations 5 through 7) using the window On-Glass
Antenna Bracket included.
You will either use...
Option 1

4 Roof top back
Option 2
Installation Locations
Installation Setup Overview for both Options 1 and 2
The following steps will guide you through the installation of your XM
SureConnect using either option 1 or option 2.
1.
Install your XM Radio in your vehicle as described in your XM Radio
user and installation guides.
2.
Now that you have located your vehicle’s FM antenna, determine the best
routing method to get the XM SureConnect output cable to the FM antenna.
For external antennas (Figure 1b), the Coupling Clip needs to be routed
outside the vehicle. For internal on-glass antennas (Figure 1c), all routing is
inside the passenger compartment and the On-Glass Antenna Bracket is
used.
3.
To route the output cable with Coupling Clip to your vehicle FM antenna,
follow the instructions on the next pages. There are separate instructions
for external antenna vs the internal on-glass antenna. Follow the instructions that apply to your vehicle’s antenna type.
Note: This guide assumes you have already installed your XM antenna per
the instructions in your XM radio user guide. The positions of the XM
antenna in the illustrations on page 9 are for example only. There is no
need to change your XM antenna installation.
4.
Connect the XM SureConnect input cable to the vehicle cradle’s XM line out.

Option 1: External FM Antenna Coupling Clip Installation
Note: If you determined you need to use Option 2, turn to page 10 and begin.
Step 1:
If you have an external or roof mount FM antenna, attach the Coupling Clip
directly to the base of the antenna as illustrated in Figure 2. Cover the clip
with the rubber boot provided to protect and secure the clip. Secure the cable
inside the trunk or hood to avoid interference or accidental damage. Installing
the Coupling Clip first will avoid having excess cable outside the vehicle.
a. Snap the Antenna Coupling Clip into place.
b. Slide the boot over the top of your antenna.
c. Slide the boot down the antenna so it covers the clip.

External FM Antenna Cable Routing
In the front, route the cable across
the weather seal near the bottom
of the door to reduce water leaks.
Once inside the car, tuck the XM
SureConnect output cable into the
door jam up to the dash or under
the carpet as shown in Figure 3.

In the rear, always cross the weather seal at the lowest part of the
trunk to reduce water leaks. Route
the cable from the trunk into the
vehicle through available wire
channels. Next, route through the
rear passenger compartment. Tuck
the cable under the door jam trim
or under the carpet to the XM
Receiver as shown in Figure 4.
Note: XM antenna cables are not illustrated.
Option 2: Internal OnGlass FM Antenna Installation
Identifying the OnGlass FM Antenna in Your Vehicle
Useful Information for Step 1:
CAUTION: Do not attach the On-Glass Antenna Bracket to the rear defogger elements. In some vehicles they look similar to the FM Antenna.
You can distinguish the FM Antenna Elements from the Defogger Elements
by several key features. See Figure 5.

Option 2 (continued)
1. The FM antenna is typically found on the top 6 to 8 inches of the rear
window while the Defogger is located below.
2. The FM antenna has open ends (connected to nothing) and the
Defogger does not.
3. The FM antenna will have a single contact point and the Defogger will
have two, which are typically on opposite sides of the window. The
contact points may be hidden behind interior liners or exterior glass
tinting but the key is to locate where the elements extend beyond the
window edge. The FM antenna will have only one location while the
defogger can have two or more.
11
Internal OnGlass FM Antenna OnGlass Antenna Bracket
Installation
Step 1:
Install the On-Glass Antenna Bracket on the interior window surface over the antenna
element using the adhesive pad provided and the following steps. It may be mounted either vertical or horizontal depending on the portion of the antenna element most
easily accessed. Select a bracket position that allows room to attach the Coupling
Clip and cleanly run cables without blocking the driver’s view. Install the on-glass
antenna Coupling Clip before routing the cable to avoid excess cable. See Figure 6.
a. Clean the mounting location on the glass for the On-Glass Antenna Bracket with
any household window cleaner that will remove grime. Be sure the surface is
completely dry before proceeding. You may need to use your vehicle’s air
conditioning and/or defogger to keep the cleaned surface dry during the
installation for the adhesive to set properly.
b. Remove the yellow liners from each of the four adhesive pads and press the
On-Glass Antenna Bracket firmly to the identified mounting location on the glass.
You can also view the alignment through the glass from outside the vehicle. You
will have only a limited amount of time to reposition the On-Glass Antenna
Bracket before the adhesive cures.
c. The On-Glass Antenna Bracket has alignment arrows on the side opposite the
adhesive pads. These arrows indicate the contact strip location on the base of the
bracket. Align the arrows with the on-glass antenna element to ensure direct
contact between the strip and the element. Press and hold the On-Glass Antenna
Bracket in place for 10 to 15 seconds.
d. Once the Bracket is in place, attach the Coupling Clip to the On-Glass Antenna
Bracket as shown in figure 6. Route any excess cable behind liners for a
professional look.
12
Note: Be sure to leave enough slack on the cable so that the contact
strip does not pull away from the on-glass antenna.

Additional Information
Note: When routing the XM SureConnect cable use pre-existing wire channels
whenever possible to avoid loose wires on the interior of the vehicle which are
susceptible to damage and to maintain a professional looking installation.
Route cable carefully by taking notice of how doors open and close, as well as
how seats move when they are adjusted so you can be certain there is ample
clearance provided for the cable.
Avoid inadvertent damage that may be caused by kinking, crimping, twisting or
chafing the cables. Secure and tie wrap the excess cable under your dash
board, between the seat and the console, or on the floor under a seat or floor
mat. Securing the excess cable will help to prevent it from interfering with the
everyday use of your vehicle, improve the appearance of the installation, and
avoid any undesirable accidental damage to the cables that might result in loss
of satellite signal or XM SureConnect performance.
Important Information:
When attempting to remove the XM SureConnect from either method of
installation, be sure to remove the “boot” first if applicable and pull the
Coupling Clip away by lifting from the end where the cable enters the clip.
Squeezing the Coupling Clip in the middle may pinch the contacts inside
and make removing the clip more difficult.
Once installed, if you experience interference problems with your AM
reception, your vehicle’s electrical system may require you to unplug the
power adapter when your XM Satellite Radio is not in use.
If you installed the XM SureConnect using Option 1, it is recommended
that you use brushless or touchfree car washes or hand wash your vehicle
to avoid damaging the XM SureConnect or your vehicle. Follow the information provided by the vehicle manufacturer for instructions on removing
the FM antenna.
