Connecting Your SIRIUS Radio to Your Vehicle’s Audio System

There are two ways to connect your SIRIUS Sportster SP5 to your vehicle’s audio system: Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one will perform best in your vehicle depends on your vehicle’s audio system.

Direct Wired Audio Connection

If your vehicle’s audio system has an “Aux In” or “Line In” jack it is the best-quality audio connection you can use for your SIRIUS radio. (And if the Aux In or Line In connector is located somewhere on the front of your vehicle radio or elsewhere in the cabin, this is also the easiest way to connect your SIRIUS radio.)

1.Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle’s audio system and your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock at your local electronics retailer.

• The Vehicle Dock requires a male 1/8” stereo connector.

2.Plug the cable’s male 1/8” stereo connector into the Audio jack on the left side of the Vehicle Dock. Plug the other end into the Aux In/Line In connector on your vehicle’s audio system. (See Figure 18.)
