Depending upon your mounting choice, clip the Receiver to the visor, or, use the velcro strips to mount the Receiver to the dash, or, if you are using the suction cup mount, lightly moisten the surface of the suction cups which face the windshield (or other surface) and press the suction cups to the mounting surface.
Installing the Magnetic Antenna
The optimum mounting location for the antenna is on the roof of the vehicle, with a minimum unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and exactly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the vehicle (the length of the rubber antenna cable cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo containers, or other antennas.
The following illustrations show the recommended mounting locations of the antenna for several types of vehicles. Follow these recommendations for best performance from the antenna.
Sedan/Coupe: Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.
Pickup Truck: Mount the antenna along the rear centerline of the cab roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.
