6 SIR-GM1 Installation Guide
Installing the Antenna
The antenna includes a 6-1/2” cable
cover/tail which covers the exposed
antenna cable and keeps it attached
securely to vehicle roof. The tail also
helps position the antenna the proper
distance from the window, sunroof or
rear hatch.
Installation
It is recommended that prior to starting
the installation, you thoroughly read
this manual and follow the guidelines
listed below:
Some installations may use the factory
satellite radio tuner location. If you are
using this location, please follow the
factory instructions for installing the
tuner in your vehicle. If you are not
using this location, please read the
following installation guidelines.
Consider the mounting location
carefully. You should make sure that
you avoid the following:
• Any location where the tuner is
exposed to moisture.
• Any location where the unit is
exposed to extreme heat.
• Any location that would interfere
with moving parts on the vehicle or
hamper driving.
Mounting the SIR-GM1 Tuner
Be sure that you find a location that is
flat and has clearance above the unit
to prevent any damage as well as
allow for ventilation.
Do not install the tuner under the carpet
or in a small enclosed area without
proper ventilation. Doing so can result
in damage to the tuner or the vehicle.
Use the supplied screws to securely
fasten the unit.
Caution:
If you are attaching the unit directly to
the vehicle’s chassis, be sure that you
check to make sure the area behind the
unit is free from moving parts, fuel or
break lines, wire harnesses or any
other items which may get damaged by
drilling a mounting hole or using the
supplied screws.
