When connected to the Plug and Play receiver’s cradle, the antenna can receive the SIRIUS signal virtually anywhere as long as no obvious obstructions, such as buildings, high terrain, parking garages and tunnels block the satellite signal.
2.Mount the antenna on the roof or trunk.
If the vehicle has a roof or trunk rack, you may have to mount the antenna
3.Connect the power adapter to the cradle and the vehicle’s +12 VDC power receptacle (cigarette lighter).
4.Press the power button to turn the Plug and Play receiver’s power on.
5.If you don’t hear anything, check the signal strength indicator in the bottom left corner of the display.
If necessary, move the antenna to different positions until the signal comes loud and clear.
6.Mark this position with masking tape or use some other method that won’t scratch the body work.
Route the cable
1.Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the Plug and Play receiver’s antenna input.
Avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist the cable. Use protective grommets wherever you encounter rough openings.
2.At the lowest point of the rear window, route the cable into the trunk, taking advantage of existing cable conduits.
3.Snake the cable around the passenger compartment to the back of the SIRIUS cradle.
