Installation Basics/Installation Planning
Installation Basics
Note: Before installation, your PIA must have the proper radio model
protocol downloaded. Please see an authorized dealer for
programming of your PIA.
When choosing a location to mount the components, care must be taken not
to interfere with any of the vehicles existing systems. Good installation prac-
tices should be observed when mounting components to avoid any vibration,
movement or rattling after installation. When routing the cables avoid blocked
passages and any obstructions that could kink, crimp, twist, or chafe the cables.
Components should be secured in place with methods such as Velcro, double
stick foam tape, screws and nuts, cable ties etc. All mounting hardware and
methods are at the discretion of the installer.
Cables should also be secured in place to avoid movement. Care should be taken
not to crimp any of the cables when installing them. And special care should
be taken not to route cables on or near sharp edges that could eventually cut
into the jacket of the cable.
Installation Planning
The PIA should be located within 2-3 feet of the radio due to the cable lengths.
The antenna should be located in an area to insure the cable will reach the tuner
location. Check this prior to installation.
Prior to installation, locate the area where the XM Direct 2 Tuner shall be in-
stalled. Typical locations are the glove box or the center console.
Antenna Installation
1. Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted on the metal
surface of the vehicle roof in the center of an area with at least 12” x 12”
of surface area and a minimum of 6” from a window or sun roof.

5
Installation Basics/Installation Planning/Cable Routing
2. If the vehicle has roof racks or skid ribs, it may be necessary to mount
the antenna o-center.
3. If the vehicle roof does not provide sucient metal surface area then
the antenna can be mounted on the metal trunk lid at least 4” from the
rear window.
Caution: DO NOT INSTALL ANTENNA INSIDE VEHICLE PASSENGER
COMPARTMENT. Mounting the antenna in the passenger com-
partment either on the front dash board or on the rear win-
dow deck area of the vehicle may interfere with reception and
must be avoided.
Caution: Mounting the antenna on a non-metallic surface will also re-
sult in severe degradation in reception.
4. If an appropriate antenna mounting location cannot be identied,
contact your local distributor installation department for additional
guidance.
Cable Routing
1. Once you have mounted the antenna in the correct location, plan how
to route the cable from this location to the receiver, avoiding blocked
passages and any obstructions that could kink, crimp, twist or chafe
the cable. If the cable will come in contact with a rough metal opening,
use a rubber grommet to prevent damage.

6
Cable Routing/Tools Required/Installation Procedure
2. For antenna mounting locations at the front or middle of the roof,
the cable can be routed down along the door jam and into the car. In
some cars, the cable may be brought into the vehicle through the
grommet in the door jam which carries the power window and power
lock wires. If the cable does not t easily through this grommet, do
not try to force it through. Instead, route the cable under the weather
seal near the lowest part of the trunk to reduce possible water leaks.
3. Use pre-existing wiring channels created by the vehicle manufacturer
whenever possible.
Tools Required
The antenna contains a powerful magnet that will secure it to a metal roof
under normal driving conditions. No additional tools should be needed to
mount the antenna.
Installation Procedure
Step 1
Remove the car stereo head unit from your dash board.
Important: Depending on how your head unit was installed you may
have to remove part or all of your dashboard to remove the
head unit before the head unit can be pulled out. You may
also have to remove screws to complete this step.

7
Installation Procedure
Step 2
Connect the cable into the PIA. Plug the other end of the cable into the head
unit adapter. Read your cable installation manual for proper installation to
your specic head unit.
Step 3
Start your car and turn on your unit to conrm that the XM Direct system is
properly connected. When you tune to XM channel 1, you should see “XM
Preview” on your head unit LCD, and hear that channel through your car
speakers. If not, check to make sure all connections are correct or refer to the
troubleshooting section of this installation guide.
Step 4
Mount and secure the PIA in a suitable location that will not interfere with
the radio and will not vibrate or rattle after installation.

8
Installation Procedure/Completing Activation
Step 5
Return the car stereo head unit back to its original location in the dash board,
be careful with cables that you just installed so that they do not unplug or
get kinked by the head unit.
Note: If you had removed screws to pull the car stereo head unit out
please screw those back in.
Step 6
If you had removed the dash board during installation please return it back
to its original location.
Completing Activation
Now that your XM Direct system has been installed your XM Universal Tuner
will need to be activated. Details on how to operate your head unit in XM
mode are listed on the following page. Tune your car stereo head unit to the
XM Preview Channel, channel 1 and follow instructions for activation. You
can also go on-line at XMradio.com or call the toll free XM activation number
at 1-800-967-2346. Once you have activated your tuner box make sure the
XM antenna on the outside of your car has an unobstructed view of the sky.

XM Satellite Radio Operation
XM Satellite Radio Operation
Please refer to the “XM tuner control features” section of your cassette, CD or
mobile video receiver manual for instructions on operating your XM satellite

Información básica sobre la instalación/Planicación de la instalación
Información básica sobre la instalación
Nota: Antes de la instalación, el adaptador PIA debe tener el modelo
de radio correcto. Consulte un distribuidor autorizado para la
programación del adaptador PIA.
Al elegir la ubicación para montar los componentes, se debe tener cuidado
para no interferir con los sistemas existentes de los vehículos. Se debe realizar
una instalación correcta al montar los componentes a n de evitar vibraciones,
movimientos o ruidos después de la instalación. Al enrutar los cables, evite las
entradas bloqueadas y las obstrucciones que puedan doblar, torcer o desgastar
los cables. Los componentes deben ajustarse con métodos como Velcro, cinta
de espuma de doble cara, tornillos y tuercas, zunchos etc. Todo el hardware y
los métodos de montaje quedan a discreción del instalador.
Se deben ajustar los cables para evitar movimientos. Preste atención para no
doblar los cables al instalarlos. Tenga cuidado de no enrutar los cables sobre
o cerca de bordes losos, los cuales con el tiempo pueden cortar la cobertura
del cable.
Planificación de la instalación
El adaptador PIA debe colocarse en un radio de 60 cm o 90 cm debido a la
longitud de los cables. La antena debe colocarse en donde los cables alcancen
la ubicación del sintonizador. Compruebe esto antes de la instalación.
Antes de la instalación, designe el lugar en donde se instalará el XM Direct 2
Tuner. La ubicación común es la guantera o la consola central.
Instalación de la antena
1. Se puede lograr una mejor recepción con la antena montada en la
superficie de metal del techo del vehículo en el centro de un área
de al menos 30,50 cm x 30,50 cm y un mínimo de 15,25 cm de
la ventana o del techo corredizo.

19
Información básica sobre la instalación/Planicación de la instalación/Enrutamiento de cables
2. Si el vehículo tiene portaequipaje o soportes, es necesario montar
la antena fuera del centro.
3. Si el techo del vehículo no cuenta con un área de metal suficiente
entonces la antena se puede montar en la tapa del baúl, al menos
a 10 cm de la ventana trasera.
Precaución: NO INSTALAR LA ANTENA DENTRO DEL COMPAR-
TIMIENTO PARA PASAJEROS DEL VEHÍCULO. Montar
la antena en el compartimiento, ya sea en el panel de
control frontal o en la cubierta de la ventana trasera del
vehículo, puede interferir con la recepción y debe evitarse.
Precaución: Montar la antena en una superficie no metálica
también ocasiona una degradación seria en la recepción.
4. Si no puede identificar una ubicación de montaje para la antena,
comuníquese con el departamento de instalación del distribuidor
local para obtener instrucciones adicionales.
Enrutado de cables
1. Después de montar la antena en el lugar correcto, planique cómo
enrutar el cable desde esta ubicación hacia el receptor; evite
entradas bloqueadas y obstrucciones que puedan doblar, torcer o
desgastar el cable. Si el cable hace contacto con una apertura de
metal áspera, utilice una arandela de caucho para evitar daños.

20
Enrutamiento de cables/Herramientas requeridas/Procedimiento de instalación
2. Para montar la antena en la parte delantera o central del techo,
puede enrutar el cable hacia abajo a través del parante de la puerta,
dentro del vehículo. En algunos vehículos, el cable se puede
extender por el vehículo a través de la arandela en el parante de la
puerta que tiene la ventana eléctrica y los cables de la traba
eléctrica. Si el cable no se ajusta fácilmente a través de esta
arandela, no intente forzarla. En cambio, enrute el cable debajo
del burlete cerca de la parte más baja del baúl a fin de reducir las
posibles ltraciones de agua.
3. Utilice canales de cables preexistentes creados por el fabricante
del vehículo cuando sea posible.
Herramientas requeridas
La antena contiene un magneto poderoso que la ajustará al techo de metal
en condiciones de manejo normales. No se necesitan herramientas adiciona-
les para montar la antena.
Procedimiento de instalación
Paso 1
Extraiga el estéreo del panel de control.
Importante: Según la instalación de la unidad, es posible que deba
quitar parte o todo el tablero antes de poder extraer la
unidad. Además, es posible que tenga que quitar
tornillos para completar este paso.
