Installation

The installation of the magnetic antenna consists of two installation steps:

Mounting the magnetic antenna and cover/tail on the vehicle

Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the SIRIUS radio or vehicle dock

The following sections provide instructions for both installation steps.

Antenna Mounting

The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the antenna in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city). This also allows for easy removal for transferring the antenna to other vehicles.

Figure 1 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles. These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna:

Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van:Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near the rear window.

Pickup Truck: Install the antenna at the front center of the roof, near the windshield.

Convertible: Install the antenna at the front center of the trunk lid, near the rear window.

The SIRIUS antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around it. It is important to mount the antenna where no obstructions will block the antenna from receiving the SIRIUS signal. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a roof rack, a sunroof, a roof mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof edge, or trunk lid in the case of a convertible).

Note: Read the Do and Do Not installation tips beginning on page 13 for additional antenna installation information.
