Getting Started
SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional instal-
lation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for
selecting a suitable mounting location, installation of the antenna, and routing all the neces-
sary wires and cables. If the FM reception within your vehicle proves to be poor, an installer
will have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM relay switch, or an audio cable
to connect the audio output of the Sirius S50 directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your
SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a profes-
sional installation service.
Installing the Car Dock
When installing the dock in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where the unit will
not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location
should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be
located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the display screen.
The mounting accessories necessary to install the dock in a vehicle are provided. Figures 1 &
2 show several examples of the Sirius S50 mounted in a vehicle: A is the console front mount
method using the adhesive mount, B is the console side mount method using the adhesive
mount, and C is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.
