Step 2: Install the vent or swivel mount
You can use either the vent mount or the swivel mount for your
Xpress
RC
depending on your particular situation.
Installing the vent mount
1 Locate a vent with horizontal slats sturdy enough
to hold your XM cradle and radio.
2 Adjust the clamps to t your vent.
3 Snap the mount onto the vent.
To remove, push the mount into the vent, then lift up.
You can adjust this screw
to adjust the tension of the
mount with a screwdriver.
TIP! Always be careful to include enough slack in your cable to accommodate
open doors or trunk lids. Use things typically found around the home, like
electrical tape, to secure cables in areas so that hinges do not pinch the cable
with the door. Hide any excess cable in the trim.
If you placed the XM antenna on the front
of the vehicle, route the cable across the
top of the windshield. Gently pry up the
rubber weather seal and tuck the cable
underneath. Follow the weather seal
down to the door jam. Tuck the cable into
the door jam and up to the dash or under
the carpet to the car cradle as shown.
If you placed the XM antenna on the
rear of the vehicle, route the cable
under the weather seal of the rear
window. Route it into the trunk and
through any existing wire passages or
cargo passages to the rear passenger
compartment. Tuck the cable under the
door jam trim or under the carpet to
the radio as shown.
