WARNING! DO NOT attempt to install the Snap while driving. Park your vehicle in a safe location
before beginning installation.
Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna
Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the outside of your vehicle, on a
horizontal surface that will always face the sky. The antenna contains a
strong magnet that will stick to any metal part of your vehicle, but will not
damage the vehicle.
For most vehicles the best location is on the roof above the front windshield, as close to being
centered between the left and right sides as the cable length will allow. For convertible vehicles
that do not have room above the windshield, place the antenna on the hood of the vehicle at a
corner nearest the windshield. Consult a professional installer if your vehicle roof or hood is non-
metallic (i.e. fiberglass), or you have difficulty finding a location for your antenna.
IMPORTANT: The Snap uses a unique antenna. Do not substitute an antenna from any other XM
radio for the Snap antenna. Replacement Snap antennas are available from xmradio.ca/accessories.
Installation and Setup
Recommended Antenna Locations
TIP: Detailed installation instructions, including videos, can be viewed at xmradio.ca/help/
troubleshooting.xmc.
TIP: When mounting the Magnetic Mount Antenna, be sure that the area is clean and dry by using
the Alcohol Prep Pad. Avoid locating the antenna near other antennas (i.e. GPS, Cellular, or AM/FM)
as well as roof rack or other items that can obstruct the view to the satellites.
IMPORTANT! Consult a professional installer if your vehicle roof or hood is non-metallic (i.e.,
fiberglass), or you have difficulty finding a location for your antenna. (See xmradio.ca/accessories or
visit your favourite retailer.)

windshield, place it on

Installation and Setup
If you are installing the antenna at the roof edge, or hood edge, install the Cable Routing Adapter
to direct the antenna cable downward.
Recommended Antenna Cable Routing
Press the antenna wire under the rubber molding around the front windshield to the nearest
corner. Then route the cable out of the windshield molding and into the rubber weather stripping
around the door opening. Lift the weather stripping from
the opening and tuck the cable inside it, then replace the
weather stripping. Run the cable inside of the weather
stripping to the bottom of the door opening. Hide the
antenna wire inside the cabin. Pull the cable out of the
weather stripping at the bottom of the door opening and
route it under the carpet toward the cigarette lighter power
adapter socket. Coil any excess cable in a hidden location,
such as under the carpet, keeping it away from any vehicle
pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable with wire ties.
TIP: Always be careful to include enough slack in your
routing to accommodate open doors or the hood lid. Use
electrical tape to secure the cable in areas
so that hinges do not pinch the cable with
the door.
Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna connector into
the ANTENNA connector on the Snap base. The
antenna plug and cable will fit into the recess on
the top of the Snap base.

Installation and Setup
Find a Location for the Snap
The Snap mounts into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or power adapter
socket. If your vehicle has more than one, be sure to choose the one
that doesn’t interfere with the driver’s vision or access to driving
controls, the one which won’t interfere with the deployment of airbags
or other safety equipment, and makes the Snap easily accessible for
operation.
NOTE: After plugging the Snap into the power adapter socket and
connecting the cables, remember to route the cables so they do not
interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
NOTE: Plug the Snap into the power
adapter socket so that the AUDIO and
FM connectors on the base are
accessible for connecting the cables.

Initiate the Courtesy Period
Before proceeding with connecting the audio, the Courtesy Period
included with your Snap needs to be initiated:
1 Be sure the vehicle is outside and the antenna has a clear view
of the sky.
2 Power on your Snap by pressing the Power button.
3 When Snap powers on, after the Welcome to XM message, you
will be prompted to Press 1, 2, 3 To Begin. Press the number
button 1, then 2, then 3.
4 If the Magnetic Mount Antenna has been installed correctly, and
Snap is receiving the XM signal, a Courtesy Period Begun message
will verify that the Courtesy Period has begun. You will then be
notified about the length of the Courtesy Period and prompted to
set up the audio connection.
5 Snap will then tune to channel 247. Although at this point you have access to all the
channels, leave it tuned to channel 247 until you have set up the audio connection.
If Acquiring Signal, Chk Antenna Connection, or No Signal Chk
Antenna is displayed instead of the Courtesy Period Begun message,
this indicates that you are not receiving the XM signal. Be sure the
