Installation

Considerations

Certain vehicle models will require adapters to connect the vehicle’s AM/FM antenna to the FM Direct Adapter, and to connect the FM Direct Adapter to the vehicle’s AM/FM radio. Your SIRIUS retailer may sell these adapters, or a professional installer may be able to provide them.

Vehicle Installation

To install the FM Direct Adapter in your vehicle, refer to Figures 1 & 2 and follow these steps:

1Remove the vehicle’s AM/FM radio from the dash and disconnect the vehicle’s AM/FM antenna cable from the rear of the radio.

2Plug the FM antenna cable from the FM Direct Adapter into the same connector on vehicle’s AM/FM radio. (An additional adapter may be required.)

3Plug the vehicle’s AM/FM antenna cable (which was disconnected from the vehicle’s AM/FM radio) into the female FM antenna socket of the FM Direct Adapter. (An ad- ditional adapter may be required.)

4Plug the mini-connector of the FM Direct Adapter into the FM OUT connection on your SIRIUS radio (for radios without a vehicle dock), or into the FM OUT connection on your SIRIUS vehicle dock (for radios with a vehicle dock).

5Choose a channel on the FM band of the vehicle’s AM/FM radio that has little or no reception from a local FM station. You can consult the SIRIUS website at http://www. sirius.com/fmchannel for more information on finding a clear FM channel in your area.

6Choose the same channel from the FM Frequency menu of your SIRIUS radio. (Refer to the user guide of your SIRIUS radio for more details.)

If the installation is successful, you should hear the SIRIUS broadcasts through the vehicle’s AM/FM radio.
