Depending upon your mounting choice, clip the
Receiver to the visor, or, use the velcro strips to
mount the Receiver to the dash, or, if you are using
the suction cup mount, lightly moisten the surface of
the suction cups which face the windshield (or other
surface) and press the suction cups to the mounting
surface.
Installing the MagneticAntenna
The optimum mounting location for the antenna is
on the roof of the vehicle, with a minimum
unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and
exactly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the
vehicle(thelengthoftherubberantennacable
cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions
that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such
as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo
containers,orotherantennas.
The following illustrations show the recommended
mounting locations of the antenna for several types
of vehicles. Follow these recommendations for best
performance from the antenna.
Sedan/Coupe: Mount the antenna along the rear
centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of
the roof near the rear window.
SUV/Mini-Van:Mount the antenna along the rear
centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of
the roof near the rear door/hatch.
Pickup Truck: Mount the antenna along the rear
centerline of the cab roof, located at the rear of the
roof near the rear window.

Convertible:Mounttheantenna along the centerline
of the trunk lid, with the rubber antenna cable cover/
tail directed toward the rear window.
Cleantheareawheretheantennaandrubber
antenna cable cover/tail will be mounted with the
supplied alcohol swab.
Connect the rubber antenna cable cover/tail to the
antenna cable, making sure that the strain-relief on
the antenna seats into the rubber antenna cable
cover/tailgroove.Route the antenna cable through
the wire channel in the rubber antenna cable cover/
tail. Do not yet attach the adhesive strip.
Temporarilyposition the antenna and rubber
antennacablecover/tailintheselectedmounting
area and route the cable from the antenna to the
vehicle’sinteriorbytucking it underneath the rubber
molding around rear window, as shown.
Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear
windowintothetrunk. Take advantageof any
existing cable channels or wiring conduits. For
SUVs, mini-vans & 5-door vehicles, bring the cable
into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the
tailgate,andcontinueundertheinteriortrim.
From the trunk, or rear of the vehicle, route the cable
around the passenger compartment and to the front
of the vehicle, to the receiver. Take care not pull the
cable across sharp edges that could damage it, and
keep it away from areas where it might entangle
feet. Coil any excess antenna cable in a location
where it can be hidden.
Once the antenna cable is routed through the
vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable routing,
