If you are using the adhesive mount, the location should be a suitable flat, smooth surface. The location should be easily reachable and provide good visibility of the radio.Figure 1 illustrates the dash mount option (A), and the vent mount option (B).A. B.1.2.3.4.5.Figure 1Figure 1
[ Installation ] 11Mounting the RadioAttach the desired mounting device, dash or vent mount, to the vehicle docking station by sliding the flat portion of the mount into the slot on the back top edge of the vehicle docking station. Gently slide the mounting device in until it snaps into place.Dash Mount Option (A)If you choose the dash mount option, be sure to select your mounting position carefully. Once the mount has been adhered to a surface, it will not be possible to remove it and adhere it again.Clean the selected mounting surface area in the vehicle with the alcohol swab. Unscrew the adhesive foot from the mount. Peel the protective material off the adhesive on the foot and press the foot firmly against the vehicle surface.The adhesive mount should then be allowed to adhere for a minimum of 2-4 hours before use. Best adhesion occurs after 24 hours.Vent Mount Option (B)To mount the vehicle dock using the vent mount option, install the vent mount as follows:If the vent louvers in your vehicle are recessed, you may need to use the longer vent hooks with the vent mount. Refer to Figure 2 and install the longer vent hooks into the vent mount. Be sure to observe the orientation of the vent hooks as shown.

[ Installation ]12Refer to Figure 3 and attach the vent mount to a heating/air conditioning vent in your vehicle. Position the two tension springs A against a vent louver B. Then push the vent mount into the vent, far enough so that the hooks C drop down and hook the rear of the vent louver (Figure 4). Once you are sure that the hooks have grasped a vent louver, the tension springs A will keep the vent mount hooked to the louver. CBADPUSH HOOKED2.Figure 3Figure 3Figure 4Figure 4
[ Installation ] 13The angle of the docking station may be changed by changing the position of foot D on the vent mount (Figure 3) to a different adjustment hole. (Figure 5)ADJUSTMENT HOLESInstalling the AntennaThe optimum mounting location for the magnetic antenna is on the roof of the vehicle, with a minimum unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and exactly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the vehicle (the length of the rubber antenna cable cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo containers, or other antennas. For convertible vehicles, the antenna should be installed on the trunk lid.For best performance, it is recommended that the antenna be installed with the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. This rubber antenna cable cover/tail provides two benefits: first, it positions the antenna the recommended distance from the rear window, rear door/hatch, or trunk edge to give the antenna the best view of the sky. Secondly, it conceals and protects the exposed antenna cable. The rubber antenna cable cover/tail has adhesive strips that hold it securely in place.The following illustrations show the recommended mounting locations of the antenna for several types of vehicles. (Figure 6) Follow these recommendations for best performance from the antenna.3.Figure 5Figure 5
[ Installation ]14Sedan/Coupe. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.Pickup Truck. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the cab roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.SUV/Mini-Van. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear door/hatch.Convertible. Mount the antenna along the center-line of the trunk lid, with the rubber antenna cable cover/tail directed toward the rear window.When you have selected a suitable mounting location, clean the area where the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail will be mounted with the supplied alcohol swab.Rubber AntennaCover/TailProtectiveStripsAdhesiveStrainReliefCableFigure 6Figure 6Figure 7Figure 7Figure 8Figure 8
[ Installation ] 15Connect the rubber antenna cable cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strain-relief on the antenna sits into the rubber antenna cable cover/tail groove. (Figure 7) Route the antenna cable through the wire channel in the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. Do not remove the protective strips yet.Temporarily position the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail in the selected mounting area and route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding around rear window, as shown in Figure 8.Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of any existing cable channels or wiring conduits. For SUVs, mini-vans and 5-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.From the trunk, or rear of the vehicle, route the cable around the passenger compartment and to the front of the vehicle, to the radio. Take care not pull the cable across sharp edges that could damage it, and keep it away from areas where it might entangle feet. Coil any excess antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden.Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable routing, peel the protective material from the adhesive strips and press the rubber antenna cable cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on rub-Figure 9Figure 9
[ Installation ]16ber antenna cable cover/tail for another 30 seconds. (Figure 9) At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.Connect the antenna cable to the ANT connection at the rear of the dock. (Refer to Figure 21 on page 23 for the location of this connector.)Connecting the Cigarette Lighter AdapterConnect the cigarette lighter power adapter to the radio, and plug it into your vehicle. (Refer to Figure 21 on page 23 for the location of this connector.)Maximizing Audio Quality From Your SIRIUS RadioThere are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS satellite radio. The following procedures will help you obtain the best performance.Wireless ConneCtionYour SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter sends the audio from your SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 10)90.1To tune your transmitter:Turn off your SIRIUS radio and tune through the FM channels on your vehicle radio to locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your 1.Figure 10Figure 10
[ Installation ] 17SIRIUS radio. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.Turn on your SIRIUS radio. Press and hold the   Menu button to access the FM channel number list on your SIRIUS radio. Tune to the channel that matches the SIRIUS preset on your vehicle radio. Refer to the Menu Options/FM Frequency section of this manual for more detailed instructions on how to do this.Note: The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio is automatically set to FM channel 88.1. This may not be the best channel in your area.  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. Several SIRIUS radio models can store multiple FM transmit channels, so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for each city. You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcasting in each city as presets on your vehicle radio. If you’re not sure which FM channels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you can also go to http://SIRIUS.com/fmchannel and search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.DireCt ConneCtionsDirect connection provides better audio performance than a wireless connection and removes the possibility of interference from local FM broadcasters.Direct Wired Audio ConnectionIf your vehicle radio offers an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connection, it is the best audio connec-tion available. If the “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connector is located on the front of your vehicle radio, this is also the easiest connection. (Figure 11)Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle radio and your SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer. Your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8” stereo male connector. Your local electronics retailer can help you determine the proper con-nection for your car radio.Plug one end of the cable into the AUDIO jack on your SIRIUS radio. (Refer to Figure 21 on page 23 for the location of this connector.) Plug the other end into your “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack on your vehicle radio.2.1.2.
[ Installation ]18FM OFFNOTE: Refer to your vehicle radio manufacturer’s guidelines for correct installation.NOTE: If the “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connection is on the back of your vehicle radio, you may want to consider professional installation. (Figure 12)FM OFFCassette Adapter If your vehicle radio has a cassette player:Purchase a Cassette Adapter at your local electronics retailer.Connect the adapter between the AUDIO jack on your SIRIUS radio (refer to Figure 21 on page 23 for the location of this connector) and the vehicle radio’s cassette slot. (Figure 13)FM OFFNOTE: Refer to the cassette adapter manufacturer’s guidelines for correct use.1.2.Figure 11Figure 11Figure 12Figure 12Figure 13Figure 13
[ Installation ] 19SIRIUS FM Direct AdapterIf your vehicle radio does not have an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack, the SIRIUS FM Direct Adap-tor provides a wired connection between your SIRIUS radio and your vehicle radio, eliminating the outside static and interference you sometimes experience when using a wireless FM connection.
