The WIRELESS FM TRANSMITTER is the easiest and quickest way to hear XM programming in your vehicle. Simply set your FM radio and your AirWare to the same frequency. Signal quality, however, may not be as good as other methods.

Placing the antenna

Your XM antenna should be mounted on the vehicle’s metallic roof, at least 6" from any window or sunroof. It can be placed in the front, middle, or rear of the roof.

(Two optional locations)

Avoid crimping, twisting, or chafing the XM antenna cable. Try to use existing holes, body grommets, and other wiring channels.

If the vehicle is a hard- or soft-top

convertible, you may mount the antenna on the metal trunk lid. It should be at least 4" from the rear window. Ensure that the antenna and cable don’t interfere with the opening or closing of the convertible top and the trunk lid.

TIP: If you route the antenna cable through the trunk seal, use the lowest part of the weather seal. This should minimize any water leaks.

TIP: If you use your AirWare’s wireless FM transmitter, mount the XM antenna as close to your vehicle’s FM antenna as possible. The FM antenna may be a wire or metallic strip embedded in the windshield or rear window.

TIP: Don’t install the XM antenna inside your vehicle or on a nonmetallic surface. Doing so will likely degrade the signal and you will probably experience more signal interruptions.

NOTE: Satellite Radio reception depends on the ability of the antenna to receive/record a signal. The signal may not be available in buildings or if obstructed (e.g., by mountains, trees, bridges, etc.).
