[ Installation ] 21Installing the AntennaThe installation of the magnetic antenna consists of two installation steps:Mounting the magnetic antenna and cover/tail on the vehicleRouting the antenna cable through the vehicle to the SIRIUS radio or vehicle dockThe following sections provide instructions for both installation steps.antenna mountIngThe SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the antenna in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also allows for easy removal for transferring the antenna to other vehicles.Figure 8 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/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.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 roof edge, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible).•••••

[ Installation ]34Wireless Audio Connection Using the FM Extender CableThe 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. (Figure 17) If you are using a FM wireless connection to transmit the audio from your SIRIUS radio to your vehicle’s FM radio, using the FEA will provide an stronger FM signal with better audio quality from your SIRIUS radio.IMPORTANT NOTE: The FM Extender Antenna is placed inside your vehicle in close proximity to the vehicle’s FM antenna. In order for it to provide a strong FM signal for good reception, it MUST be mounted in the correct location and orientation, as described in this manual. The correct mounting location and orientation is determined by the type and location of the vehicle’s FM antenna.Step 1: Determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antennaBeing able to determine the type and location of your vehicle’s FM antenna is the key to prop-erly installing the FEA in your vehicle. The type and location of the FM antenna in your vehicle should be one of the following: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.B.A.
[ Installation ] 35C. In-glass, in the rear windshield: Several strands of wires in the rear windshield glass, usu-ally near the top of the window. There is a difference between the rear window defroster wires found in many vehicles and the FM antenna. The rear window defroster wires have uniform spac-ing and all wires run from edge to edge in the glass while 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.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 back 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, usu-ally near the top of the windshield.H. In-glass, in a rear side window: Several strands of wires in a rear side window, especially in some SUV, mini-vans and station wagons.E.D.F.C.H.G.
[ Installation ]36Step 2: Prepare the FEA for temporary installationAttach the suction cups to the antenna portion of the FEA in the positions shown in Figure 20. The antenna portion of the FEA is the relatively thinner section of the cable in between the bead and the arrow, and transmits the FM signal to your vehicle’s FM antenna.ATTACH SUCTION CUPS AS SHOWNON BOTH ENDS OF THE THIN WIRETHIS THINNER PORTION OF THE FEA ISWHAT TRANSMITS THE FM SIGNAL TOYOUR VEHICLE’S FM ANTENNADURING THE FINAL INSTALLATION USE THE CABLEGUIDES TO HOLD THE CABLE IN POSITION UNTILIT REACHES THE INNER TRIM OR MOULDING CONNECTS TO THE FM OUTCONNECTOR OF YOURSIRIUS RADIO OR DOCKANTENNA CABLEBEADARROWStep 3: Temporarily install the FEA using the suction cups for your vehicle’s antenna typeOn the next several pages you will find the FEA mounting location for your type of FM antenna (A, B, C, etc.). Before attaching the FEA, clean the area where the suction cups will be mount-ed with the supplied alcohol swab. The antenna wire between the two suction cups should be pulled taut and as straight as possible, and should not obstruct the driver’s view.Figure 20Figure 20

Clean the suction cup mounting areas with the alcohol swab. The antenna wire between the two suction cups should be pulled taut, and as straight as possible, and should not obstruct the driver’s view.Caution: In some states it may not be legal to put the FEA on the windshield so the FEA should be installed into the headliner. Remove the suction cups and tuck the wire into the headliner, stretched taut and straight.••Figure 24Figure 24
[ Installation ] 41For vehicles with an H type FM antenna:In-glass, in a rear side windowIf the in-glass antenna wires are vertical, mount the FEA vertically on the glass, directly over the FM radio antenna. If the in-glass antenna wires are horizontal, mount the FEA horizontally on the glass, directly over the FM radio antenna. (Figure 25) Clean the suction cup mounting areas with the alcohol swab. The antenna wire between the two suction cups should be pulled taut, and as straight as possible, and should not obstruct the driver’s view.•Figure 25Figure 25
[ Installation ]42Step 4: Connect the other end of the FEA into the FM OUT connector of your SIRIUS vehicle dockPlug the FM Extender Antenna into the FM OUT connector of the vehicle dock. (Figure 26)FM OUTFrom FM Extender AntennaStep 5: Find an FM channel which is not broadcasting in your areaTurn off your SIRIUS radio. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio and tune through the FM channels on your vehicle’s radio to locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. (Figure 27) You should only hear static or silence on this channel. Use the tune function of your radio rather than the scan function to search for a channel. 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.ORSILENCESTATICIf you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the per-formance of your SIRIUS radio. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting Figure 26Figure 26Figure 27Figure 27
[ Installation ] 43in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.Step 6: Tune your SIRIUS radio to the same FM channelTurn on your SIRIUS radio. For plug and play radios, press and hold the Menu button until the FM Frequency screen is displayed. For Stiletto radios, select Settings then Dock then FM Transmit. For S50 radios, select Settings then Device Settings then FM Frequencies. Set the channel number on your SIRIUS radio to match the SIRIUS preset on your vehicle’s radio. (Figure 28) You should now hear the audio from your SIRIUS radio over your vehicle’s FM radio. (Refer to the user guide which accompanied your SIRIUS radio for more detailed instructions on how to set the FM frequency for your radio.)MATCH CHANNELS1 2 3 4 56fm tune presetjump7 8 9 0 90.1Note: The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio is automatically set to FM channel 88.1.

(Refer to the user guide which accompanied your SIRIUS radio for more detailed instructions.) Note, your SIRIUS radio is still on.Turn up the volume of your vehicle’s FM radio. If you hear static or interference adjust the position of the FEA until the static or interference is eliminated or minimized. (Figure 291)3. If the level of static or interference is still high, please select another FM channel by repeating Step 6.Step 8: Permanently install the FEAIf you are mounting the FEA in the headliner of the vehicle, skip this step. When you are satis-fied with the mounting location, remove the suction cup mounts and peel the backing off the bead and arrow adhesive mounts. Clean the area where the FEA will be attached with the alcohol swab. Permanently adhere the FEA in the same position on the glass (or A-pillar), making certain the wire is taut and is as straight as possible. Use the cable guides if necessary to hold the cable (Figure 30)2.3.Figure 29Figure 29

(Figure 31) Use the cable guides to hold the cable in place until it reaches the inner trim or moulding at the edge of the window. Take advantage of any existing cable channel or wiring conduit and route the cable around the passenger compartment to the vehicle dock. 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 and secure any excess antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden and secured (such as under the carpet or floor mat). Make sure the FEA is plugged into the FM OUT connector of the radio or vehicle dock.This completes the FEA installation.Figure 30Figure 30Figure 31Figure 31
[ Installation ]46Tips for Identifying the FM AntennaCorrect identification of your vehicle’s FM antenna is a key to a successful installation. The preceding installation section already showed you the differing kinds of FM antennas found on vehicles, however, there are several types of antennas found on vehicles which you may at first believe to be the FM antenna but in reality they are not. Instead they may actually be GPS, OnStar®, cell phone, factory installed satellite radio antennas, or other type of antennas.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 32 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. 1.Figure 32Figure 32
[ Installation ] 47Greater confusion may arise with whip type antennas. Figure 33 shows some whip type antennas which can be found on a vehicle’s front or rear roof, or on the rear windshield. Some of these antennas could be the FM antenna and some are not the FM antenna. Antennas with a short 2-4 inch stubby whip or protrusion are not FM antennas, while anten-nas 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 your FM antenna is located in your vehicle 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 the FM antenna is not correctly identified, the installation of the FEA will result in poor perfor-mance and unsatisfactory results.2.Figure 33Figure 33
[ Installation ]48DIReCt ConneCtIonsA 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 2 which are explained in the following sections. 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 34)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 vehicle radio.Plug one end of the cable into the LINE OUT jack on the vehicle dock. (Refer to Figure 1 on page 9.) Plug the other end into your “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack on your vehicle radio.1 2 3 4 56fm tune presetjump7 8 9 0 90.1 1.2.Tip: Depending on the model of radio in your vehicle and your level of comfort with in-car installations, a direct connection may require professional installation assistance.
