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.)

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.

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

vehicle is outside and the antenna has a clear view of the sky. Verify that you have installed and
connected the antenna as described in “Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna” on page 14.
Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 38 for additional help.
Installation and Setup
Connect the Audio
To play audio through your vehicle’s stereo or FM radio, decide on one of the following audio
connection options:
• Option 1: Best: Use the provided Aux In Cable if your vehicle’s stereo system has an auxiliary
input connection. Refer to your vehicle’s owners manual to find the location of the auxiliary
input jack, or consult the vehicle dealer. (Page 22)
TIP! The auxiliary input jack may be located on the face plate of the vehicle radio, on the back of
the radio, anywhere on the front dash panel, inside the glove compartment, or inside the center
console in between the front seats.
• Option 2: Better: Use a Cassette Adapter if your vehicle has a built-in cassette player.
Cassette Adapters are sold separately and can be purchased from an electronics retailer, or
go to xmradio.ca/accessories. Follow the installation instructions in Option 1. (Page 22)
• Option 3: Good: Use the
Power Connect feature of the Snap. Power Connect plays the audio
through your vehicle’s FM radio. (Page 23)
• Option 4: Best: Use the FM Direct Adapter. If none of the previous three audio connection
options will work in your vehicle, then you will need to use the FM Direct Adapter (FMDA)
(sold separately). The FMDA needs to be installed by a professional installer and directly
connects the Snap to your vehicle’s FM radio. To learn more, check with the retailer where
you bought your Radio, or go to xmradio.ca/accessories.
Follow the installation instructions in the next several sections for the audio connection option
that you have selected.

Options 1 & 2: Aux In Cable Installation Instructions
1 Plug one end of the Aux In Cable into the AUDIO
connector on the Snap base.
2 Plug the other end into the auxiliary input jack
connection of your vehicle’s stereo system.
3 Turn on your vehicle’s stereo system. Set it to play input
from the auxiliary input source (or cassette mode if using
a cassette adapter). You should hear XM channel 247
through your vehicle’s stereo system. The installation is
complete. Proceed to “Subscribe” on page 26.
4 The audio level output of the Snap can be increased or
decreased as necessary to match the audio levels of other
sources in your vehicle. Refer to “Set Audio Level” on
page 35.
If the signal reception is good, showing at least one antenna
signal strength bar in the upper left corner of the display
screen, but there is no audio when tuned to channel 247, be sure the vehicle’s stereo system is set
to the correct source, i.e., auxiliary input source (step 3). Also be sure that the audio level is set
high enough to be heard (step 4). Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 38 for additional help.

Option 3: Power Connect Installation Instructions
1 You’ll first need to find an available FM channel. An available FM channel is one that’s
not being used by an FM radio station in your area. When you tune your FM radio to an
available channel, you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music. We recommend
the following method to find an available FM channel:
Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio. Locate and create a
list of channels that aren’t being used by any FM radio station. Write down the list. Once you
have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that provides the
best match for Snap.
TIP! You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through every
FM channel one-by-one. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio. Start at 88.1 and use the ‘Manual’ tune
function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel one-by-one (88.1 followed by
88.3 etc.) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local FM radio station. Write down each FM
channel that has only static or silence on it, until you reach 107.9.
2 Pick the first FM channel on your list from step 1. Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio (if you have
not already done so) and tune it to this FM channel.

b. Rotate the Control knob to select the available FM channel you
chose in step 1.
c. You should hear the XM channel 247 through your vehicle’s FM
radio. If you are satisfied with the sound quality installation is
complete. If you are not, move to the next FM channel on your
list, and tune your vehicle’s FM radio and Snap to this new FM
channel. Continue until you have found an FM channel with which
you are satisfied.
4 Once you have found a satisfactory FM channel to use, press and
hold 1 until the 1 button is illuminated. This FM channel is now set as
FM preset 1.

7 If the signal reception is good, but there is no audio when tuned to channel 247, verify that
both the Snap and your vehicle’s FM radio are tuned to the same FM channel (steps 2 & 3).
Also ensure the chosen FM channel is a suitable one to use in your area (step 1). Also be
sure that the audio level is set high enough to be heard (step 6). Refer to “Troubleshooting”
on page 38 for additional help.
