Included with your SIRIUS radio is an FM Extender Antenna to maximize the audio quality of
your SIRIUS radio when using a wireless audio connection. Should the wireless audio qual-
ity without the FM Extender Antenna be not acceptable, you can try using the FM Extender
Antenna (or opt for a direct connection).
Wireless Audio Connection Without the FM Extender Antenna
To tune your vehicle’s FM radio and your SIRIUS radio to the same FM channel (Figure 14):
Turn off your SIRIUS radio and tune through the FM channels on your vehicle’s radio
to locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an FM channel
that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your
SIRIUS radio. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your
area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.
Turn on your SIRIUS radio. In the Settings or Menu in your SIRIUS radio, locate the FM
Frequency adjustments. Set the channel number on your SIRIUS radio to match the
SIRIUS preset on your vehicle’s radio. Refer to your user guide for detailed instructions
on how to do this.
Note: The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio is automatically set to FM channel
88.1. This may not be the best channel in your area.
Tip: If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may
need to find channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Several SIRIUS radio
models can store multiple FM transmit channels, so you can easily switch to the
best FM channel for each city. Refer to your user guide for details on this feature.
You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcasting in each city as
presets on your vehicle’s radio.
