Warning and Safety Information
Safety Precautions
Be sure to observe the following warnings. Failure to follow these safety instructions
and warnings may result in aserious accident and/or personal injury.
•Install
the cables and 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 ametal hole, be sure to use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire's insula-
tion from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
• Use caution if you need to disconnect the battery terminal. Please consult the vehi-
cle's owner's manual or aservice 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.
• 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 per-
formed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in asafe location
before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.
• Do not open, disassemble, or alter the unit in any way. Doing so may result in fire,
electric shock or product damage.
• Do not insert any objects into the unit. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or
product damage.
• Do not install in locations that might hinder vehicle operation. Doing so may ob-
struct vision or hamper movement which can result in a serious accident.
4 [Warning and Safety Information]

• Do not install the unit to high levels of humidity, moisture or dust. Doing so can
result in electric shock or product failure.

Basic system wiring options
The SCC1 SiriusConnect Vehicle Tuner is designed to work with any Sirius-Ready
or SAT Radio Ready headunit. Some headunits will require the use of aSiriusCon-
nect Interface Translator. Please consult your headunit manufacturer for more details
concerning compatibility and interface availability. The

Installation
Installing the SCC1 Vehicle Tuner
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 where the tuner cannot get adequate ventilation.
•Any location that would interfere with moving parts on the vehicle or hamper driving.
Mounting the SCC1 Tuner
Be sure that you find alocation that is flat and has
clearance above the unit to prevent any damage as
well as allowing for ventilation.
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 brake lines, wire harnesses, or any
other items which may get damaged by drilling a
mounting hole or using the supplied screws.
10 [Installation]
iI

Alternate Mounting Methods
The mounting plate can be removed allowing the
SCC1 to be mounted directly to asurface using
either double-sided stick tape, hook and loop, or
other adhesive material. Simply remove the 2
screws on the bottom of the SCC1 tuner to remove
the bracket, as shown in Figure 3(right). If using
adhesive material, avoid covering the SID label.
Figure 3
Combining with aSiriusConnect Interface Device
Some third-party interfaces are designed with the same asymmetrical chassis as the
SCC1. To connect the units together, simply remove the mounting brackets from each
unit, rotate them 90° and connect as shown in Figures 4and 5below.
[ Installation] 11

Mounting the Magnetic Antenna
The installation of the magnetic antenna consists of two installation steps:
• Mounting the magnetic antenna and cover/tail on the vehicle
•Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the tuner
The magnetic mount antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the
antenna in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also allows for
easy removal for transferring the antenna to other vehicles.
Figure 6 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of
vehicles. These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:
• Sedan/Coupe/SUV IMini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof,
near the rear window.
• Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the wind-
shield.
• Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear
window.
The antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it.
It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from
receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof
rack, asunroof, a roof mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle
has apotential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3
inches away from it (but no closer than 3inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the
case of aconvertible).

Figure 6
Mounting the Antenna on the Vehicle
Follow this procedure to mount the antenna:
1. Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an
unobstructed area of 3inches by 3 inches around the antenna.
2. Attach the rubber cover/tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 7. and press the
antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail. The rubber cover/tail will help to position
the antenna the correct distance from the edge of the roof or trunk lid.
3. Clean the surface area of the vehicle where you will be installing the antenna with
the alcohol prep pad.
4. Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips (Figure 7) and press the
rubber cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle (Figure 8).

5. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct,
and continue to press firmly down on rubber cover/tail for another 30 seconds.
At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72
hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna
and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.

Antenna Cable Routing
When you have successfully mounted the antenna on the vehicle, you can begin the
cable routing portion of the installation. Separate antenna cable routing procedures
are provided for each type of vehicle:
• Sedan/Coupe on page 15
•Pickup Truck on page 16
• SUV/Mini-Van on page 17
•Convertible on page 18

Sedan/Coupe Antenna Cable Routing Procedure
Figure 9shows how the antenna cable can be routed from the antenna to the tuner
in asedan/coupe. The exact routing of the antenna cable may vary depending upon
where you have installed the dock in your vehicle. Avoid side airbag locations on back
pillars and above the doors. (Airbag locations are marked with "SRS" logos.)

Operation
Activating Your SCC1 Tuner
You must activate the SCC1 tuner before you can begin to receive the SIRIUS Satel-
lite Radio Service.
In order to activate your radio subscription, you will need the SIRIUS 10 (SID) which
uniquely identifies your tuner. The SID can be found on a sticker located on the SCC1
packaging, or on the bottom of the SCC1 itself. When you have located the SID, write
it down in the space provided near the end of this manual and store it for future refer-
ence.
The SID can also be recalled from your Sirius-Ready headunit. Most units will display
the SID on either Channel 0 or on Channel 255. Please consult your headunit owners
manual or user guide for specific details.
Power on your system and make sure that you are receiving good signal and that you
are able to hear audio on the SIRIUS Preview channel, Channel 184.
Have your credit card handy and contact SIRIUS on the Internet at:
https://activate.sirius.radio.com/
and follow the prompts to activate your subscription. You can also call SIRIUS toll-free at:
1-888-539-SIRIUS (1-888-539-7474)
Once the tuner is activated, you will be able to begin enjoying SIRIUS Satellite Radio's
digital entertainment, and can tune to other channels.
