Installing the vent mount
To install the vent mount, find a horizontal vent that is strong enough to hold your

to better suit your vent.

Installing the swivel mount
To install the swivel mount, first find a suitable location. The swivel mount’s adhesive is
very strong and may be difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather sur-
faces and make sure the air temperature is at least 60° (15°C).
Clean the mounting surfaces with the
surface preparation kit.
Peel away the adhesive liner and firmly press the
swivel mount to the surface for 30 seconds. Allow
24 hours before using the mount
adhesive liner

You can orient your swivel different ways
to accommodate the space available in
your vehicle.
If you need to remove the mount, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a
spoon. Warming with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive. Your
swivel mount comes with an extra adhesive pad.

all finished and ready to move on to activation on page 24.
tep 4: Making Your Vehicle’s FM Radio an XM Radio
Your XpressRcontains a built-in M modulator that requires the use of either the XM
SureConnect (sold separately) or the M Direct Adapter (sold separately) to transmit
the XM audio signal to your vehicle’s M radio.
The factory default setting for your XpressRis FM Modulator (Off). ollow the menu
instructions to change the menu setting to FM Modulator (On).
Turn on your car stereo. You will need to find a suitable M frequency in order to get
the best sound. A suitable M frequency is an unused frequency or weak station that is
not located near a strong M station in your area. ollow the steps below for more
help:
1. Go to www.xmradio.com/fmlocator for recommended M frequencies in your
area.
2. Enter your local USPS Zip Code.
3. You will see the recommended M frequencies in your area. Try the “vacant” chan-
nels first.
4. Set your vehicle’s M radio to one of the recommended frequencies. Now set your
XM receiver to the same frequency using the menu settings. or more information,
see M requency on page 47.
5. If the audio quality is not satisfactory, you can repeat these steps by choosing an-
other frequency.
