Getting Started

SIRIUS suggests professional installation of this product in your vehicle. Professional instal- lation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle, advice for selecting a suitable mounting location, installation of the antenna, and routing all the neces- sary wires and cables. If the FM reception within your vehicle proves to be poor, an installer will have the necessary accessories to install an optional FM relay switch, or an audio cable to connect the audio output of the Sirius S50 directly to your vehicle’s audio system. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they provide professional installation services, or can recommend a profes- sional installation service.

Installing the Car Dock

When installing the dock in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where the unit 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 display screen.

The mounting accessories necessary to install the dock in a vehicle are provided. Figures 1 & 2 show several examples of the Sirius S50 mounted in a vehicle: A is the console front mount method using the adhesive mount, B is the console side mount method using the adhesive mount, and C is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.

Depending upon the mounting location you select in your vehicle, console front mount, con- sole side mount, or vent mount, the mount should be assembled as described in the following three sections. Each type of mount method should only be installed as depicted, i.e., the con- sole side mount method should only be used when installing to the side of the console, etc.
