Wireless Connection

If you cannot connect your SIRIUS radio directly to your vehicle’s audio system, your Starmate ST5 contains an FM transmitter that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s FM radio.

To use this you need to tune the ST5’s FM transmitter to an FM frequency that’s not being used in your area (If you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broad- caster, it will interfere with your ST5’s performance.) See Figure 25.

1.Tune through your vehicle radio’s FM channels to find an FM channel (between 88.1MHz and 107.9MHz) that is not broadcasting in your area.

2.Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.

3.Dock your Starmate ST5 and turn its power ON. Wait for the Channel Update to finish before pressing any buttons.
