3.Wireless FM Modulator
The XM receiver is equipped with an FM modulator, which can transmit the XM audio to your car’s FM radio without wires.
IMPORTANT: For best wireless FM modulator performance, you must locate the satellite radio antenna in a location that is in close proximity to the vehicle’s FM antenna.
For example, with reference to figure 1, if your FM antenna is located on a rear fender or top of the roof, mount the XM antenna near the rear window location (option 1). If your FM antenna is located on a front fender, mount the XM antenna near the windshield location (option 2). Remember, the closer the satellite radio antenna can be to the FM antenna, the better the wireless FM reception and sound quality will be.
In order to optimize the operation of the wireless FM modulator, follow the installation guidelines outlined in steps 1 through 4:
Step 1:
First, determine the proper location for your satellite radio antenna based on the following criteria for your specific vehicle:
You must locate the satellite radio antenna on the top of the roof either in front of the rear window (option 1) or behind the windshield (option 2). The satellite radio antenna will perform best if magnetically attached to a steel surface with an unobstructed view of the open sky and minimum of 3 to 6 inches of metal surrounding the antenna.
