direct sunlight or be subject to extreme

temperatures.

hardware supplied. Incorrect installation may

cause damage to the system.

2. Installation cautions • Do not damage the vehicle wiring.

• Use the supplied screws and washers.

• Do not snag any wires when tightening the

Vehicle Installation Guide

If you are uncomfortable installing

components in your car, enlist the

help of a professional installer.

The Plug and Play receiver and cradle provide an

audio output signal that you may connect:

• Directly using the audio cable supplied.

The audio signal travels from the cradle to the

auxiliary inputs of a radio or other system.

• Wirelessly using the Plug and Play receiver’s

FM Transmitter feature.

The satellite radio plays through your car radio

when the radio is tuned to one of ten FM

frequencies.

4. Set your car radio to the same frequency.

You can mount the cradle directly to the dashboard

or another flat surface or you may mount it using the

mounting base in this kit.

1. Locate a firm, reasonably flat surface within

your vehicle to permit optimum viewing and

line-of-sight access by the supplied remote

control.

4. Install the cradle

Vehicle Installation Guide

Do not install the cradle or mounting

base on a leather or fabric surface, or

in a position that could impair your

vision, block air bags or obstruct

vehicle dashboard controls, including

radio CD/cassette operational

displays.

Be very careful and plan ahead when selecting

the mounting location. If you use the adhesive

backing on the base you won’t be able to

reposition the receiver once you mate the

backing to the mounting surface.

To screw the base to the surface, avoid

unintentional damage by making sure the area

behind the mounting surface is clear of wires or

other items.

Caution

The fins on the mounting base are

pliable and can be bent to conform to

most mounting surfaces.

2. Using the alcohol swab, clean the mounting

surface and thoroughly wipe the area dry with a

clean, lint-free cloth.

3. Decide how to mount the cradle. Your choices

are:

• Install the cradle in the mounting base and

use the adhesive backing to fix the mounting

base to the mounting surface.

• Install the cradle in the mounting base and

use screws to fix the base to the mounting

surface.
