VOD916/PROV916/PROV916 S/PROV916 P INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING SATELLITE RADIO
The VOD916/PROV916/PROV916 S/PROV916 P pods have dual IR transmitters. Channel A handles normal audio program material from A/V sources (DVD/AUX/TV, etc). The second B chan- nel allows an external audio source such as Satellite Radio or a CD changer to be used through RCA input jacks. There are a variety of ways to wire this package as outlined below.
Using an Audiovox SIRIUS satellite receiver
1)The modulator that is supplied with this package is model # FTR3000 (P/N:136C3426). The modulator has two antenna inputs, one for the vehicle antenna and the other for a satellite radio RF input (the Sirius FM modulator is built in to the receiver).
2)This input allows the Sirius RF signal to switch the modulator on and off without any user inter- vention with the overhead pod. (Note: A 5 volt signal rides on the RF signal from the Sirius receiver and automatically switches out the vehicle antenna when the Sirius radio is turned on)
3)Plug the Sirius antenna lead into the RF input marked “SAT” (FTR3000). Run a stereo RCA cable from the RCA output of the Sirius receiver to the IR2 RCA inputs on the overhead pod.
4)If the rear seat occupant(s) want to listen to Sirius on channel B and not on the vehicle radio, the Sirius modulator output can be shut off using the Sirius commander. Check the Sirius owner’s manual for the proper procedure. When the Sirius modulator is shut off, Sirius audio can still be switched to the POD modulator (FTR3000) using the POD remote control.
Using an Audiovox XM satellite receiver
1)The Audiovox
2)In this case the external FM modulator from the XM receiver will need to be placed between the vehicle radio and the FTR3000 modulator. This configuration may cause slight deterioration of signal from the vehicle antenna due to insertion loss of the two modulators being in series.
(Note: The SAT input on the modulator is not used for this configuration.)
3)Run a stereo RCA cable from the RCA output of the XM receiver to the IR2 RCA inputs on the overhead pod.
4)If the rear seat occupant(s) want to listen to XM on channel B and not on the vehicle radio, the XM modulator output can be shut off using the XM commander. Check the XM owner’s manual for the proper procedure. When the XM modulator is shut off, XM audio can still be switched to the POD modulator (FTR3000) using the POD remote control.
