2SIR-ECL1 Installation Guide
Congratulations on your purchase of the SIR-ECL1– the
ECLIPSE Compatible SIRIUS Satellite Radio Tuner!
Your new SIRIUS Tuner is designed to work with 2005 and up ECLIPSE E-LAN
headunits that are designated “SIRIUS READY.” Contact ECLIPSE or SIRIUS
for model compatibility.
With SIRIUS, the emphasis is on the
music and entertainment you want.
The music is hosted by SIRIUS
Jockeys, who are true experts. They
back-up the music with compelling
information about the song being
played, and they understand that
sometimes it’s best to just let the
music speak for itself.
Rely on SIRIUS rocket science for
superior coverage.
Only SIRIUS has three powerful
satellites that fly directly over the U.S.
ensuring coast-to-coast coverage with
high elevation angles. This gives the
satellites a “clear line of sight” to your
car or home, with much less concern
for buildings, trees or other objects
that might block conventional satellite
signals.
Once you experience more than 120
channels of digital entertainment,
you’ll never want to leave your car.
For more information, visit
www.sirius.com.

This symbol means important
instructions. Failure to heed them
can result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION
THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION
AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR
VEHICLE.
Any function that requires your
prolonged attention should only be
performed after coming to a complete
stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe
location before performing these

Failure to do so may result in fire,
electric shock or product damage.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make proper connections may
result in fire or product damage.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO A ELECTRICAL
CABLES. Never cut away cable
insulation to supply power to other
equipment. Doing so will exceed the
current carrying capacity of the wire and
result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS
THAT MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE
OPERATION. Doing so may obstruct
vision or hamper movement which can
result in a serious accident.
DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT WHERE
IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO HIGH
LEVELS OF HUMIDITY, MOISTURE
OR DUST. Doing so can result in electric
shock or product failure.
FCC Warning: This equipment may
generate or use radio frequency energy.
Changes or modifications to this
equipment may cause harmful
interference unless the modifications
are expressly approved in this User
Guide. The user could lose the authority
to operate this equipment if an
unauthorized change or modification is
made.

CAUTION
This symbol means important
instructions. Failure to heed them
can result in injury or material
property damage.
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
specified accessory parts. Use of non-
specified 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.

6SIR-ECL1 Installation Guide
Installing the Antenna
The antenna includes a 6-1/2” 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 window, sunroof or
rear hatch.
To attach the cover/tail:
1) Once you have determined the
proper mounting location (see next
section), clean the area with the
supplied alcohol swab
3) Connect the 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.
Installation
It is recommended that prior to
starting the installation, you
thoroughly read this 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 unit is
exposed to extreme heat.
• Any location that would interfere
with moving parts on the vehicle or
hamper driving.
Mounting the SIR-ECL1 Tuner
Be sure that you find a location that is
flat and has clearance above the unit
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 ventilation. Doing so
can result in damage to the tuner or
the vehicle.
Use the supplied screws to securely
fasten the unit.
Caution:
If you are attaching the unit directly to
the vehicle’s chassis, be sure that you
check to make sure the area behind
the unit is free from moving parts, fuel
or break lines, wire harnesses or any
other items which may get damaged
by drilling a mounting hole or using
the supplied screws.

Cable Cover/Tail
Antenna
Optimum Antenna Mounting
Locations
The optimum location to mount the
included antenna is on the roof of the
vehicle. It is important to avoid any
obstruction that will block satellite
signal – like a roof rack. For convertible
vehicles, install the antenna on the
trunk lid.
• 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).
• The antenna’s powerful 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 good
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
for the tailgate, and continue under
the interior trim.
• From the trunk, carefully route the
cable to the location of the
SIR-ECL1 and plug the SMB
connector onto the unit.
4) Remove the protective tape from the
adhesive, carefully position the
antenna with cover/tail and apply
pressure to secure to the vehicle.
Vehicle
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 – like exhaust systems.
• Avoid placing the cable near any
moving parts.
