signal from the video remote control.
If needed, the IR eye cable can be extended by using a 1/8” mini-stereo extension
cable (not included).
Power HarnessThe power harness for the SCV1 has power filter box which contains a fuse for the
12V battery connection. The power harness also has an in-line fuse for the ignition
connection. Figure 6 shows the location and type of these fuses, and also the identi-
fies the pin-outs of the power connector.

The magnetic vehicle antennas have a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the
antenna in place on the exterior of the vehicle during normal driving conditions (high-
way/city). Installation of the antennas consists of three installation steps:
Selecting the mounting locations for the antennas
Mounting each antenna with the cover/tail on the vehicle.
Routing the antenna cables through the vehicle to the tuner.
Selecting the Antenna mounting locations
For optimal performance of the SCV1, these guidelines should be followed when installing
the antennas. Figure 7 shows the optimal mounting locations for the antennas for several
types of vehicles. If possible, mount the antennas in the locations shown, while observing
these guidelines:
The antennas should be mounted on the exterior of the vehicle, on the roof.
The tail/cover for the antenna serves to secure the antenna wire to the surface,
and position the antenna exactly 3 inches from the roof edge. It should be used
when installing the antennas.
Each antenna should be mounted where no obstructions will block the antenna from
receiving the SIRIUS signal. Each antenna needs to have an unobstructed area of
3 inches by 3 inches around it. Objects which can obstruct the antenna could be a
roof rack, a sunroof, a roof mounted cargo container, another antenna, etc. If your
vehicle has a potential obstruction, be sure that the SIRIUS antenna is mounted at
least 3 inches away from it (but no closer than 3 inches from the roof edge).
The separation between the two antennas should be 36 inches or greater. The
greater the distance between the antennas, the better the performance. If it is not
possible to install the antennas at least 36 inches apart on your vehicle, then they
can be placed a minimum of 24 inches apart. Any separation less than 24 inches
will compromise the performance of the SCV1.
