What is SIRIUS Trafc?
Navigational trafc information for 22
major metropolitan areas* in the
continental US.
SIRIUS Trafc conveys navigational trafc
information for visual display on a
compatible navigation system.
Using a navigation system (such as the
ECLIPSE AVN6610), trafc data from
SIRIUS is displayed either superimposed on
a navigation map, or in a list type format
displayed on the navigation screen. The
data provides trafc speed and ow
information as well as scheduled and
unscheduled incidents, alerting you to
congestion, accidents, road construction,
detours, and other trafc related information
as you drive. The SIRIUS Trafc data is
updated frequently enabling you to be up-to-
date regarding trafc situations. Based on the
information from SIRIUS Trafc, the navigation
system can then plan alternate routes before
you get caught in trafc, and if you make a
wrong turn, the system can recalculate your
route and get you back on track in seconds.
* Metropolitan areas for which the SIRIUS Trafc service is available as of November 2006
are: Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo/Niagra Falls, Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Chicago, Dallas /Ft. Worth, Denver/Boulder, Detroit, Hartford/New Britain/Middletown, Houston/

WARNING

SIR-ECL2nt Installation Guide
This symbol means important
instructions. Failure to heed them can
result in injury or material property dam-
age.
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM
APPEARS. Failure to do so may cause
personal injury or damage to the product.
Return the unit to your authorized retailer or
nearest service center for repairing.
INSTALL THE WIRING SO THAT IT IS NOT
CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY SCREWS OR
SHARP METAL EDGES. Route the cables
away from moving parts or sharp pointed
edges. This will prevent crimping and
damage to the wiring. If the wiring must
pass through a metal hole, be sure to use a
rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s
insulation from being cut by the metal edge
of the hole.
USE THE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY
PARTS AND INSTALL THE PRODUCT
SECURELY. Be sure to use only the
specied accessory parts. Use of nonspecied
parts may damage this unit internally or may
not securely install the unit in place. This may
cause parts to become loose, resulting in
hazards or product failure.
USE CAUTION IF YOU NEED TO
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TERMINAL.
Please consult the vehicle’s owner’s
manual or a service technician prior to
removing the battery positive or ground
connection, as it may cause damage to the
vehicle’s electrical system or require
reprogramming of the vehicle’s computer
controlled devices.
CAUTION

6SIR-ECL2nt Installation Guide
Installation
It is recommended that prior to starting the
installation, you read completely this
installation manual and follow the guidelines
listed below:
Consider the mounting location carefully.
You should make sure that you avoid the
following:
• Any location where the tuner is
exposed to moisture.
• Any location where the tuner is
exposed to extreme heat.
• Any location that would interfere with
moving parts on the vehicle or interfere
with driving.
Mounting the SIR-ECL2nt tuner
Be sure that you nd a location that is at and
has clearance above the tuner to
prevent any damage, as well as allow for
ventilation.
Do not install the tuner under the carpet or in
a small enclosed area without proper ventila-
tion. Doing so can result in damage to the
tuner or the vehicle. Use the supplied screws to
securely fasten the unit.
If you are attaching the tuner directly to the
vehicle’s chassis, be sure that you check to
make sure the area behind the tuner is free
from moving parts, fuel or brake lines, wire
harnesses or any other items which may get
damaged by drilling a mounting hole or from
the screws.
Installing the Antenna
The antenna includes a plastic cable cover/
tail which covers the exposed antenna
cable and keeps it attached securely to
vehicle roof. The tail also helps position the
antenna the proper distance from the rear
window, sunroof or rear hatch.
To attach the cover/tail:
1. Once you have determined the proper
mounting location (see the next
section), clean the area with the
supplied alcohol swab.
2. Connect the antenna cover/tail to the
antenna cable, making sure that the
strain-relief on the antenna seats into
the cover/tail groove. Route the cable
through the wire channel in the cover/
tail.
3. Remove the protective tape from the
adhesive and carefully position the
antenna with cover/tail and apply
pressure to secure it to the vehicle.

SIR-ECL2nt Installation Guide
Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations
The optimum location to mount the antenna
is on the roof of the vehicle. It is important to
avoid any obstruction that will block the
satellite signal, such as a roof rack. For
convertible vehicles, install the antenna on
the trunk lid as shown.
• Place the antenna on a metal surface
of your vehicle at least 12” x 12”, and at
least 6” from a window. (Use the
antenna cover/tail as a guide for the
proper distance from the rear window.)
• The antenna’s magnet will secure it to
the metal surface. The adhesive that is
attached to the antenna cover/tail will
secure the cable to the vehicle. Before
routing the antenna cable, conrm that
the antenna is mounted in a suitable
location.
• Route the cable from the antenna to the
vehicle’s interior by tucking it
underneath the rubber molding around
the rear window, if possible.
• Route the cable from the lowest point
of the rear window into the trunk. Take
advantage of any existing cable
channels or wiring conduits.
• For SUVs, minivans and ve-door
vehicles, bring the cable into the
vehicle under the rubber molding of the
tailgate, and continue under the interior
trim.
• From the trunk, carefully route the
cable to the location of the
SIR-ECL2nt and plug the SMB
connector into the tuner.
Convertible (only)
• Do not pull the wire across sharp
edges that could damage it.
• Keep the wire away from areas where it
could become tangled in the driver’s
and passenger’s feet.
• Keep the antenna wire away from
extreme heat, such as exhaust systems.
• Avoid placing the cable near any
moving parts.
