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.
You should now hear the audio from your SIRIUS radio over your vehicle’s FM radio. If
the audio quality is not satisfactory, try moving the FM Extender Antenna slightly to see if
a better signal can be obtained.
If you are mounting the FM Extender Antenna in the headliner of the vehicle, skip this
step. When you are satisfied with the mounting location, remove the suction cup mounts
and peel the backing off the adhesive mounts. Permanently adhere it in the same posi-
tion on the glass (or A-Pillar), keeping it taut and as straight as possible. (Figure 23)
Adhesive Adhesive
Route the antenna cable to your SIRIUS radio. Use the included self adhesive cable
guides (if necessary) to hold the antenna wire in place until it reaches the weather
stripping or moulding at the edge of the window. Take advantage of any existing cable
channels or wiring conduits and route the cable around the passenger compartment to
the vehicle dock. Take care not pull the cable across sharp edges that could damage it,
and keep it away from areas where it might entangle feet. Coil and secure any excess
antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden and secured.
Plug the FM Extender Antenna into the FM OUT connector of the vehicle dock (Refer to
Figure 21 on page 34.)
This completes the installation of the FM Extender Antenna. If you’re not sure which FM
channels are not broadcasting in your home or travel cities, you can also go to http://sirius.
com/fmchannel and search for a suggested FM channel based on your zip code.
