What is SIRIUS Traffic?
Navigational traffic information for over
22 major metropolitan areas in the
continental US.
SIRIUS Traffic conveys navigational traffic
information for visual display on a
compatible navigation system.
Using a navigation system (such as the
Alpine NVE-N872A), traffic 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 traffic speed and flow
information as well as scheduled and
unscheduled incidents, alerting you to
congestion, accidents, road construction,
detours, and other traffic related information
as you drive. The navigation system’s touch
and voice recognition controls can provide
easy access to detailed information. The
SIRIUS Traffic data is updated frequently
enabling you to be up-to-date regarding
traffic situations. Based on the information
from SIRIUS Traffic, the navigation system
can then plan alternate routes before you
get caught in traffic, and if you make a
wrong turn, the system can recalculate your
route and get you back on track in seconds.

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.

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-ALP10T Tuner
Be sure that you find a location that is flat
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

to the tuner or the vehicle. Use the supplied
screws to securely fasten the unit.
Caution:
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.

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, confirm 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 five-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-ALP10T and plug the SMB
connector into the tuner.
Caution:
• 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.
