Setting Up and Installing Your Kit
NOTE: The SIRIUS® signal can be received and
processed virtually anywhere as long as there
are no obvious satellite signal obstructions such
as nearby buildings, high terrain, parking
garages or tunnels.
1. Cabling Interconnections
You can begin to enjoy Sirius®Satellite Radio as soon
as the Shuttle and Vehicle Kit installation are complete.
Set up your Audiovox Shuttle using the following
installation instructions, or enlist the help of a
professional installer:
2. Installing the Cradle Mount Base Assembly
NOTE: The fins on the mounting base are pliable
and can be bent to conform to most
mounting surfaces.
a. Interconnect all of the components as shown
on the adjacent page to verify that the system
operates normally.
b. Locateafirm,reasonablyflat surface within your
car to permit optimum viewing and line-of-sight
access by the supplied remote control unit.

CAUTION: Do not install the mounting base
on a leather or fabric surface, or
in a position that could impair
your vision, block air bag(s) or
obstruct vehicle dashboard
controls and/or radio CD/casette
operational displays.
NOTE: The adhesive backing on the base
will not permit easy repositioning once
it has been mated to the surface; use
extreme care and planning when
selecting the mounting location. If the
base is to be screwed to the surface,
make sure the area in back of the
mounting surface is clear of wires or
other items to prevent unintentional
damage.
c. Using the alcohol swab supplied with your kit,
clean the mounting surface and thoroughly wipe
the area dry with a clean lint-free cloth.
d. The cradle contains two mounting plates,
one on the rear and one on the bottom.
After deciding which configuration to use,
loosen and remove two flat-head screws
securing the plate to the cradle and remove
the plate. Save the two screws for reassembly.
e. As shown in the figure, unscrew the star nut
and ball strut assembly from the mounting
base threaded socket; then remove the flat-
head screw, lockwasher and flatwasher from
the end of the ball strut.

h. If the outside air temperature is cold, it may
be beneficial to warm the adhesive backing
on the base using a portable hair dryer, or
by holding the backing surface in front of a
vehicle heater vent.
i. Remove the plastic liner from the adhesive
backing on the base, and fix the base in
position on the surface; make sure the
mounting pad is accurately positioned on
the first try, since repositioning may be
difficult, if not impossible.
j. Bend the fins on the base so it conforms
to the mounting surface.
If the mount is to be screwed in place, do
not remove the plastic liner from the
adhesive backing. Use appropriate sheet
metal or machine screws for this purpose.
f. Insert the end of the ball strut into the keyed
opening on the cradle mounting plate, and
secure the plate to the ball strut using the
flatwasher, lockwasher and flat-head screw
through the back of the plate.
g. Reattach the mounting plate assembly to the
rear or bottom of the cradle assembly, as
desired, using the two flat-head screws
removed previously. Installation of the mounting
base can now continue.

k. Using the star nut, attach the cradle assembly
to the base threaded socket; do not overtighten
the star nut.
3. Installing the Cradle Using Double-Sided Tape
You canmountthecradledirectly to your dashboard
or other flat surface without using the cradle
mount in the kit. To do this, do not remove either of
the mounting plate assemblies from the cradle.
a. Remove the 3/4” x 3” double-sided tape from
the supplied kit.
b. Determine the location of the cradle, and clean
the mounting surface as before.
c. Peel the backing from one side of the tape, and
press the tape in place on the rear or bottom
cradle mounting plate.
d. Peel the backing from the exposed side of the
tape and carefully position the cradle on the
mounting surface, gently pressing the cradle
into place. -9-
4. Using Other Manufacturer’s Mounts
TheShuttleCradlecan also be installed using other
manufacturer’s mounts; the mounting plate
provisions on the rear and bottom of the cradle
provide you with multiple mounting options within
the vehicle using various vehicle-specific
aftermarket brackets, such as those purchased
separately from Panavise, Pro-Fit, etc.
5. Installing the Shuttle into the Cradle
The Shuttle cradle has three retaining clips---one
on top and two on the bottom. Place the Shuttle in
the cradle so that the Shuttle connectors are lined
up; use the SAT and TERR RF connectors as
guides. Then gently press in on the bottom of the
Shuttle to engage the connectors. The top clip will
automatically engage; then slide the two bottom
clips back into the locked position. Cradle
orientation can be adjusted by loosening the star
nut and then tightening it when the cradle is in the
desired viewing position.

6. Sirius Program Listening Options
The Shuttle and Cradle provide an audio output
signal in three manners:
1. When using CK1 or CK2 cradle, the audio signal
can be routed through an audio cable which is
applied to the auxiliary inputs of a radio or
entertainment system.
2. When using the CK1 cradle, the audio signal can
be transmitted to a car radio on one of four
selectable FMfrequencies. The audio signal can
then be played through your car radio when the
car radio is tuned to one of these frequencies.
3. Some listeners prefer to use a hard-wired FM
transmitter. In this instance, when using the CK1
cradle, an optional FM Switching Box assembly
(Part No. 112C3159) is available and provides a
hard-wired FM output when connected to the FM OUT
connector on the left side of the cradle; the other end
of the switching box plugs into the antenna jack of your
radio. By using this assembly, and selecting the
appropriate FM output frequency (88.1MHz, 88.3MHz,
88.5MHz or 88.7MHz) with the slide switch, the Sirius
signal received at the SAT (MAIN) or TERR. cradle
antenna input can be played through your car radio
when tuned to one of these frequencies.
