routing the Antenna Cables
When you have successfully mounted the antennas on the vehicle, you can begin rout-
ing the antenna cables to the tuner.
Figure 12 shows a typical antenna cable routing diagram, where the tuner has been
installed under the front passenger seat. The exact routing of the antenna cables may
vary depending upon where you have installed the tuner in your vehicle. Avoid side
airbag locations on front and back pillars, and above the doors. (Airbag locations are
marked with “SRS” logos.)

Installing the FM Direct Adapter
The FMDA is used if the vehicle’s headunit does not have a connection for a direct au-
dio input. The FMDA should be located near the headunit as the vehicle’s FM antenna
will need to be connected to it. Figure 13 shows the wiring connections for the FMDA.

To hear the SIRIUS audio, the vehicle’s headunit and the SCV1 will need to be tuned
to the same FM channel. Refer to the FM Transmitter section on page 56 for more
detailed instructions on how to tune the SCV1 to an FM channel.
Note: The FM transmitter in SCV1 is by default set to FM channel 88.1. If you don’t want
to change to a different channel you can simply tune the vehicle’s headunit to 88.1.
