Self installation instructions and tips are provided for your convenience. It is your
responsibility to determine if you have the knowledge, skills and physical ability
required to properly perform an installation. SiriusXM shall have no liability for
damage or injury resulting from the installation or use of any SiriusXM or third
party products. It is your responsibility to ensure that all products are installed in
adherence with local laws and regulations and in such a manner as to allow a vehicle
to be operated safely and without distraction. SiriusXM product warranties do not
cover the installation, removal or reinstallation of any product.
Decide on one of the following in-box audio connection options. Refer to “Connect the Audio” on page 41 of the
User Guide for details including other connection options.
Option 1: Best: Use the provided Aux In Cable, if your vehicle’s stereo system has an auxiliary input jack.

system.

vehicle’s FM radio.
A. Find and make a list of all available FM channels in your area that are not being used by an FM radio
station.
B. Pick the first FM channel on your list. Tune your vehicle’s FM radio to this FM channel.

PowerConnect Vehicle Dock which came with your Edge, you will have to disable AUX
Detect. Refer to “Using the Vehicle Dock From the Universal Xpress Car Kit” on page 88 of
the User Guide, and complete the additional instructions before continuing with the next

of 1 to select the available FM channel you have chosen. Press the Select
button to select the FM channel.

vi. The selected FM channel will be confirmed on the display screen.
D. You should hear channel 1, the XM Preview channel through your vehicle’s FM
radio. If you are satisfied with the sound quality, the installation is complete.

the process. Continue until you have
found an FM channel with which you are
satisfied.

the wires into the wire guide.
