Vehicle Installation
Step 1: Mount the XM Antenna
1Choose the best location for your XM antenna considering your own personal situation. Pay particular attention to any accessories that you may have like luggage racks and how
frequently you may use them. | Magnet |
The XM antenna contains a strong magnet which will stick to any metal parts of your vehicle.
If you placed the XM antenna on the front of the vehicle, route the cable across the top of the windshield. Gently pry up the rubber weather seal and tuck the cable underneath. Follow the weather seal down to the door jam. Tuck the cable into the door jam and up to the dash or under the carpet to the car cradle as shown.
If you placed the XM antenna on the rear of the vehicle, route the cable under the weather seal of the rear window. Route it into the trunk and through any existing wire passages or cargo passages to the rear passenger compartment. Tuck the cable under the door jam trim or under the carpet to the radio as shown.
TIP! Always be careful to include enough slack in your cable to accommodate open doors or trunk lids. Use things typically found around the home, like electrical tape, to secure cables in areas so that hinges do not pinch the cable with the door. Hide any excess cable in the trim.

Installing the swivel mount
CAUTION: The adhesive used with the swivel mount may make it difficult to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces and make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).
1Locate a flat surface for the mount. Make sure there is ample room for the XM cradle and radio when installed.
2Clean the surface with the preparation kit and let it dry thoroughly.
3Peel off the adhesive liner. Position, press, and hold the swivel mount in place for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT: Let the adhesive cure for 24 hours before attaching the XM cradle and radio to the mount.
4Turn the swivel to accommodate the XM cradle and radio. Adjust the tension via the center screw.
You can adjust this screw to adjust the tension of the mount with a screwdriver.
To remove, carefully lift the adhesive pad with your fingers or a spoon. Warming the pad with a hair dryer for several minutes will help soften the adhesive.
You can reinstall the swivel mount using the extra adhesive pad.
