Install the Magnetic Mount Antenna
Proper placement of the Magnetic Mount Antenna is very important. Consult a
professional installer if you are uncomfortable with installing the antenna yourself.
More detailed installation instructions and illustrations can be found at
www.siriusxm.com/xminstallation and clicking on the Install and Activate link.
• Locate the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the outside
of your vehicle on a horizontal surface that always
faces the sky.
• Avoid placing the antenna near obstacles that could
block a clear view of the sky (such as roof racks,
other antennas like AM/FM, cellular, and GPS),
preventing the satellite signal from reaching the
antenna.
Select the Best Location for the Magnetic Mount Antenna
For most vehicles the best location is on the roof, centered
above the rear window or front windshield. Consult a
professional installer to find an alternate antenna mounting
location if your vehicle roof is made from a non-magnetic
material such as aluminum, fiberglass, or carbon fibre.
•Sedan or Coupe: Recommended mounting location is
above the rear window or front windshield.
•Pickup or SUV: Recommended mounting location is
above the front windshield.
•Convertible: Recommended mounting location is above
the front windshield, or alternately on the trunk lid, on
the front hood, or on top of the front fender.
Route the Antenna Cable
If you are installing the antenna at the edge of the roof or hood, install the
Antenna Cable Routing Adapter to direct the
cable downward. Place the antenna cable
into the groove of the adapter and slide the
adapter down the cable until the adapter is
flush with the bottom of the antenna.
Use care when routing the antenna cable into and through the vehicle interior,
avoiding sharp objects that can damage the cable. Keep the antenna cable away
from moving parts such as gas and brake pedals, trunk and door hinges, and
sliding seat brackets.
Hide the antenna wire inside the vehicle cabin by routing the cable under the carpet
and behind plastic trim, toward the headunit location. Coil and secure any excess
cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, using wire ties (not included).
CAUTION! Do not kink or sharply fold the antenna cable.
Make the Connections
You’ll need to access the back of the SiriusXM-Ready headunit so you can plug the
SXV100 Vehicle Tuner into it. This may require you to remove the headunit from the
dashboard. If you are uncomfortable with this step, consult a professional installer.
Be sure to turn OFF the SiriusXM-Ready headunit before connecting the SXV100
Vehicle Tuner. Locate the SiriusXM connector on the headunit and connect the
SXV100. The headunit may have a panel mount type connector, or it may have a
pigtail type connector.
Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna
into the SXV100 Vehicle Tuner.
Secure the Tuner
Secure the SXV100 Vehicle Tuner behind the vehicle headunit location or under
the dash using wire ties (not included).
Thread the wire ties through the moulded brackets on the underside of the Tuner
as shown. Then secure it to a bracket or wiring harness using the wire ties. Avoid
brackets with sharp edges and any moving parts such as gas and brake pedals.
Reinstall the vehicle headunit if it had been removed from the dashboard.
Subscribe
Once the SXV100 Vehicle Tuner begins receiving the satellite signal, a courtesy
