Installation

SIRIUS suggests that you have your Sportster SP5 professionally-installed in your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to in- stall this product in your vehicle, advice for selecting a suitable mounting loca- tion for the Vehicle Dock, installation of the antenna, and proper routing of all the necessary wires and cables. If the locations of your SIRIUS radio and your ve- hicle’s FM antenna make the performance of your SIRIUS radio’s built-in FM trans- mitter within your vehicle poor, a professional installer will have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter or audio cable to connect the audio output of the Vehicle Dock directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your SIRIUS re- tailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation service.

Installing the Vehicle Dock

When installing the vehicle dock in your vehicle, choose a location that will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the radio’s display screen.

The mounting accessories necessary to install the vehicle dock in a vehicle are provided. Figure 1 shows two examples of the SIRIUS radio mounted in a vehicle: A is the suction cup mount method, and B is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.

Note: The supplied suction cup mount and vent mount should work in most vehicles. If your installation requires a different mounting option, check with a local electron- ics retailer for other compatible mounts that are available separately.
