Roady BT Feature Guide
Roady BT Summary
Roady BT is the newest satellite radio from SiriusXM which eliminates the need for a vehicle dock.
Roady BT is comprised of a Display Control Unit (DCU) and a Intelligent Power Adapter (IPA)
connected by a single cable, with the satellite module contained in the IPA. The satellite antenna, and
the AUX or FM connections (if used), are made directly to the IPA, eliminating the need for a vehicle
dock and wires connected to it.
New for Roady BT is a magnetic mounting system for the display (DCU). A magnet is attached to
the vent or dash mount using the peel-and-stick adhesive on the magnet, and then the magnet and
mount are magnetically attached to a metallic area on the rear of the Roady BT display, securely
holding the display in place. The display can be removed from the magnet and stored in a secure
place to prevent theft, if desired.
Vent and dash mounts are included as in-box mounting solutions, but the new magnetic mounting
system provides flexibility for other aftermarket mounting solutions, purchased separately.
Roady BT adds Bluetooth audio capability to the audio connection options for easily connecting
the SiriusXM audio to a vehicle headunit. Legacy options of AUX and FM (FMDA required) are also
offered as optional audio connection solutions.

Feature Summary
Single Wire Connection to Display. The display for Roady BT features a single wire connection which
eliminates the need for a vehicle dock. The antenna cable (and the AUX cable or FM cable, if used)
connect to the Cigarette Lighter Adapter.
Expanded Mounting Possibilities. Roady BT includes the legacy in-box mounting solutions of the
vent and dash mounts which now use the newly designed magnetic mounting system for the display.
A magnet is attached to the vent or dash mount using the peel-and-stick adhesive on the magnet,
and then the magnet and mount are magnetically attached to a metallic area on the rear of the
Roady BT display, securely holding the display in place.
The new magnetic mount system was designed for compatibility with other mounting solutions
available from 3rd party vendors. The flexibility of the new magnetic mounting system makes the
mounting possibilities for the display almost limitless.
