Installation
SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional instal-
lation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for
selecting a suitable mounting location, installation of the antenna, and routing all the neces-
sary wires and cables. An installer will have the necessary audio connection accessories to
provide optimal audio output of the SIRIUS radio 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 Kit
When installing the vehicle dock, choose a location in your vehicle where the radio 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 left side of the vehicle dock which has the FM button and the locking button should also
not be obstructed.
The mounting accessories necessary to install the vehicle dock in a vehicle are provided.
Figure 4 shows two examples of the Stiletto mounted in a vehicle: A is the console mount
method using the adhesive mount, and B is the vent mount method.

Depending upon the mounting method you select, the mount should be assembled as
described in one of the following two sections. In choosing a mounting location, be sure that
position chosen will not block access to the Lock and
FM
FM buttons on the side of the
vehicle dock.
Console Mount Method (A)
To assemble and mount the vehicle dock for the console mount method A as shown in Figure
4:
Attach the adhesive foot to the vehicle dock using the provided screws, placing the
finger grip between the adhesive foot and the vehicle dock. (Figure 5)
Before adhering the mount to the console, be sure to select your mounting position care-
fully because 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 mounting bracket. 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. When the adhesive foot has achieved suf-
ficient adhesion, reattach the vehicle dock to the foot.

Installing the Antenna
The 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 8) Follow these recommendations for best performance from
the antenna.
Sedan/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.
Figure 8Figure 8
[ Installation ]
20
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.

Cover/Tail
Protective
Strips

Strain
Relief
Cable
Connect 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 9) 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 10.
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

[ Installation ] 21
antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden. Connect the antenna cable to the ANT
connection at the rear of the vehicle dock. (Refer to Figure 12 on page 22 for the location of
this connector.)
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-
ber antenna cable cover/tail for another 30 seconds. (Figure 11) 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.

Do not use any other power adapter for the Stiletto, or connect it directly to the vehicle’s
power. Doing so will damage the Stiletto. Using anything other than the supplied cigarette
lighter adapter to power the vehicle dock will void the warranty.
Docking and Un-docking the Stiletto
When docking the Stiletto be sure the Lock button of the vehicle dock is in the unlocked posi-
tion. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 7 for the location of the Lock button.) Grasp the vehicle dock
with your free hand and place the Stiletto into the vehicle dock, as shown in Figure 13, and
slide it down until it is fully seated. Place the Lock button into the locked position to secure
the Stiletto in the vehicle dock.
To remove the Stiletto from the vehicle dock place the Lock button in the unlocked position.
Grasp the vehicle dock with your free hand and pull the Stiletto up until it disengages from
the vehicle dock.

Maximizing Audio Quality From Your Stiletto Radio
There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS satellite radio to your vehicle radio: direct
connect or wireless. The following sections will help you obtain the best performance. For the
latest information go to http://www.sirius.com/vehicleinstallation.
WIReless ConneCtIon
Your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter sends the audio from your
SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 14)
90
.

To 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
SIRIUS 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.
Power the Stiletto on. When it is completely powered up, press the
FM
FM button on
the left side of the vehicle dock or press the FM button on the remote control.
Use the Media Dial or the buttons on the remote control to select a new FM
channel (Figure 15) and press the Select button. The Stiletto will now transmit on the
selected FM frequency.

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.

DIReCt ConneCtIons
Direct connection provides better audio performance than a wireless connection and removes
the possibility of interference from local FM broadcasters. There are several ways to directly
connect your Stiletto which are explained in the following sections.
Direct Wired Audio Connection
If 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 17)
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 LINE OUT jack on your SIRIUS radio. (Refer to Figure
12 on page 22.) Plug the other end into your “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack on your vehicle
radio.

SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter
If your vehicle radio does not have an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack, the SIRIUS FM Direct Adaptor
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.
(Figure 20) Professional installation may be required. See your local SIRIUS retailer. (The SIRIUS
FM Direct Adapter is available at your local SIRIUS retailer or at http://shop.sirius.com).
