Installation
SIRIUS suggests that you have your Starmate ST5 professionally installed in your
vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install this
product in your vehicle, advice for selecting a suitable mounting location for the
Vehicle Dock, installation of the antenna, and proper routing of all the necessary
wires and cables. If the locations of your Starmate ST5 and your vehicle’s FM
antenna make the performance the ST5’s built-in FM transmitter within your
vehicle poor, a professional installer will have the necessary accessories to install
an optional FM Direct Adapter or an audio cable to connect the audio output of the
Vehicle Dock directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they
provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation
service.
Installing the Vehicle Dock
When installing the Vehicle Dock in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where
it will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag.
The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and
should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of
the display screen.
The mounting accessories necessary to install the Vehicle Dock in a vehicle are provided.

Installing the Magnetic Antenna
Caution
Because adhesive is used in the installation of the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail, we
recommend that you install the antenna at or above room temperature (68° F).
The adhesive on the Rubber Cover/Tail may not adhere properly to the vehicle roof at
temperatures lower than this. Warmer temperatures will also make it easier to route of
the antenna cable through the rubber molding around the windows and in other areas
in the vehicle. Maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours at room temperature,
so you should avoid car washes as well as other contact with the antenna and Rubber
Cover/Tail during this 72-hour period.
Warning
Be sure not to cut, damage, or puncture the external jacket of the antenna
cable during the installation procedure. Damage to the antenna cable can
degrade the SIRIUS signal or make it unavailable, and can also cause water to intrude
via the cable into the antenna causing the antenna to fail.
Do not lengthen or shorten the antenna cable by cutting it. Doing so will cause the
antenna to not function properly.
Installation
Installing the magnetic antenna consists of two steps:
• Mounting the magnetic antenna and Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail on the vehicle
• Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the Vehicle Dock
Installation
21
Antenna Mounting
The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed
to hold it in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also makes the
antenna easy to remove for transferring it to other vehicles.
Figure 9 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of
vehicles. These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:
Sedan/Coupe
Pickup Truck
SUV/Mini-Van
Convertible
Figure 9
• Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof,
near the rear window.
• Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the windshield.
• Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear
window.
22
Installation
The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches
around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be
a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof-mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3
inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the edge of the roof or trunk lid).
Note: Read the DO and DO NOT installation tips beginning on page 32 for additional
antenna installation information.
Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:
1.
Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an
unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna.
2. Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, and press
the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The Rubber Cover/Tail will help to
position the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.

4. Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (see Figure 10, on page 23)
and press the rubber Cover/Tail ﬁrmly into place on the vehicle.
5. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct, and
continue to press ﬁrmly down on the Rubber Cover/Tail for another 30 seconds.
At room temperature (68° F), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours.
During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and the
Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail.
Cable Routing
After you have mounted the antenna you can route the antenna cable to the SIRIUS
Vehicle Dock. Separate antenna cable routing procedures are provided for each type of
vehicle: Sedan/Coupe, Pickup Truck, SUV/Mini-Van and Convertible.
Note that additional breakout illustrations for each step of the antenna cable routing
procedures can be found on the SIRIUS website at http://www.sirius.com. Click on the

the CLA power cable. The cables must not be bundled together as they exit the dock
(see Figure 19, on page 40).
As a guide, you can follow the diagram in Figure 19, adapting the example to suit your
own vehicle’s conﬁguration. For example, if you cigarette lighter socket is to the left of
the vehicle dock, route the two antenna cables towards the passenger side of the vehicle. If your cigarette lighter socket is on the right-hand side of the vehicle dock, route
the two antenna cables towards the driver’s door. The CLA cable and antenna cables
MUST be routed in opposite directions. Safely conceal all antenna cables within door,
carpet or cash panels to prevent snags and interference.

Connecting the Starmate ST5 to Your Vehicle’s
Audio System
There are two ways to connect your SIRIUS Starmate ST5 to your vehicle’s audio system:
Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one will perform best in your vehicle
depends on your vehicle’s audio system. For the latest information go to http://www.
sirius.com/vehicleinstallation.
Direct Wired Audio Connection
If your vehicle’s audio system has an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack it is the best-quality audio
connection you can use for your SIRIUS radio. (And if the AUX IN or LINE IN connector is
located somewhere on the front of your vehicle radio or elsewhere in the cabin, this is
also the easiest way to connect your SIRIUS receiver.)
1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle’s audio
system and your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock at your local electronics retailer.
• The Vehicle Dock requires a male 1/8” stereo connector.
2. Plug the cable’s male 1/8” stereo connector into the AUDIO jack on the left side of the
Vehicle Dock. Plug the other end into the AUX IN/LINE IN connector on your vehicle’s
audio system (see Figure 22).

Direct FM Audio Connection
If your vehicle’s audio system does not have an Aux In/Line In connection, a
SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) will provide the next-best quality
connection between your Starmate ST5 and your vehicle radio. You will listen to
your ST5 through your car radio’s FM tuner, but the SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter
connects your vehicle’s FM radio directly to the Vehicle Dock’s FM Out jack,
eliminating the outside static and interference you sometimes experience when
using a wireless FM connection (see Figure 23).

Wireless Connection
If you cannot connect your SIRIUS radio directly to your vehicle’s audio system, your
Starmate ST5 contains an FM transmitter that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s
FM radio.
To use this you need to tune the ST5’s FM transmitter to an FM frequency that’s not
being used in your area (If you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with your ST5’s performance.) See Figure 25.

Tip
If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels,
you may need to ﬁnd channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Your
Starmate ST5 can store up to 5 preset FM transmit channels (see Figure 27,
on page 45), so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for each city.
• To switch the FM transmit preset, press the FM PRESETS button on the ST5
front panel, or the remote. (See pages 66 – 69)
If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or
travel cities, you can also go to http://www.sirius.com/fmchannel and
search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.

Wireless Audio Connection Using the FM Extender Antenna
Your SIRIUS radio includes an FM Extender Antenna (FEA) that can maximize the
audio quality of your SIRIUS radio when using a Wireless Connection. The FM Extender
Antenna brings the FM signal transmitted from your SIRIUS radio into close proximity
with your vehicle’s FM antenna to provide a strong FM signal for good reception (see
Figure 29).

WARNING
Notice to drivers In California and Minnesota
State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on
their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other dashboard or friction mounting
options should be used. SIRIUS does not take any responsibility for any ﬁnes, penalties,
or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice. (See California
Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71)
A Note About The Installation Procedure
Before you permanently mount the FM Extender Antenna (FEA), you will ﬁrst mount
it using the included suction cup mounts to test the installation. Once you ﬁnd an
acceptable location, you will remove the suction cups and permanently adhere the FEA
using its adhesive mounts.
Installation
49
Installation
Step 1: Determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antenna
The key to properly installing the FEA in your vehicle is being able to determine the type
and location of your vehicle’s FM antenna. The type and location of the FM antenna in
your vehicle should be one of the following (see Figure 30, opposite):
A. Whip/aerial mounted on the front fender or hood: A ﬁxed or retractable aerial antenna
located on the front fender or hood of the vehicle.
B. Whip/aerial mounted in the A-pillar of car frame: A ﬁxed or retractable aerial
antenna located in the A-pillar of the vehicle’s frame.
C. In-glass, in the rear windshield: Several lengths of wire in the rear windshield glass,
usually near the top of the window. There is a difference between the FM antenna
and the rear window defroster wires found in many vehicles. The FM antenna wires
have uneven spacing, breaks in the wires, and some of the wires do not run from
edge-to-edge in the glass, while the rear window defroster wires have uniform spacing and all wires run from edge-to-edge in the glass.
D. Whip/aerial mounted on rear part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the rear
part of the roof (often just above the rear windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be
7 inches or longer.
E. Whip/aerial mounted on the rear fender or trunk: A ﬁxed or retractable whip or aerial
antenna located on the rear fender or trunk of the vehicle.
F. Whip/aerial mounted on front part of roof: A whip or aerial antenna mounted on the front
part of the roof (often just above the front windshield glass). The whip or aerial should be
7 inches or longer.
G. In-glass, in the front windshield: One or more strands of wire in the front windshield,
usually near the top of the windshield.
H. In-glass, in a rear side window: Several strands of wires in a rear side window, often
found in SUVs, mini-vans and station wagons.

Tips for Identifying the FM Antenna
Tip
Correctly identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna is a key to successfully
installing the FEA. The preceding installation section already showed you the
different kinds of FM antennas found on vehicles. However, there are several
types of antennas found on vehicles that you may at ﬁrst believe to be the FM antenna
but which in reality are not. Instead they may actually be GPS, OnStar®, cell phone,
factory-installed satellite radio antennas, or another type of antenna.
Please be aware of the following when identifying your vehicle’s FM antenna:
• Puck-type antennas and shark-ﬁn type antennas are never the FM antenna.
Figure 46 shows several types of these antennas which should not be mistaken for
an FM antenna. If you have located one of these types of antennas on your vehicle
you can be certain that it’s not the FM antenna. Continue your search to ﬁnd the
actual FM antenna.
Figure 46
Installation
63
• Greater confusion may arise with whip type antennas. Figure 47 shows some whip
type antennas which can be found on the front or rear of a vehicle’s roof, or on the
rear windshield. Some of these antennas could be the FM antenna and some are not
the FM antenna.
Figure 47
• Antennas with a short 2-4 inch stubby whip or protrusion are not FM antennas,
while antennas with a whip length of 7 inches or longer are likely to be the FM
antenna. If your vehicle has a short stubby antenna, you should continue searching
your vehicle’s FM antenna.
If after searching your vehicle you’re still uncertain as to where its FM antenna is
located then SIRIUS recommends professional installation of the FM Extender Antenna.
Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can
recommend a professional installer.
If you don’t correctly identify your vehicle’s FM antenna, the installation of the FEA
will result in poor performance and unsatisfactory results.
64

as new audio is being stored at the same rate at which you are playing-back the stored
audio. You can use the FAST-FORWARD button to skip ahead or exit the SIRIUS Replay
mode, and begin listening to the live broadcast again.
When the SIRIUS Replay memory is 10 seconds from becoming full you will hear two
beeps (if the Conﬁrmation Tone option is enabled, see page 103). When the memory
is full, the ST5 will automatically begin to play the SIRIUS Replay memory contents
from the beginning, and will continue to store the channel audio, overwriting the oldest
portion of the audio previously stored. When the memory is full, you will be unable to
rewind through the stored audio.
If you have partially played-back the stored audio, and have paused the radio again,
the Play Position indicator will begin to move right when the SIRIUS Replay memory
becomes full, as it begins overwriting the oldest portion of the audio previously stored.
When the Play Position indicator reaches the rightmost position, indicating that the
memory is full, the ST5 will automatically begin to play the SIRIUS Replay memory
contents from the beginning.
The SIRIUS Replay Time Position shows the exact amount of time the Play Position
indicator is behind the live broadcast, expressed as Hours:Minutes:Seconds, and
displayed as a negative number (see Figure 90). For example, if -00:20:03 is displayed,
the Play Position indicator is 20 minutes and 3 seconds behind the live broadcast.
