Installation
Considerations
Certain vehicle models will require adapters to connect the vehicle’s AM/FM antenna to the
FM Direct Adapter, and to connect the FM Direct Adapter to the vehicle’s AM/FM radio Your
SIRIUS retailer may sell these adapters, or a professional installer may be able to provide
them
Vehicle Installation
To install the FM Direct Adapter in your vehicle, refer to Figures 1 & 2 and follow these steps:
Remove the vehicle’s AM/FM radio from the dash and disconnect the vehicle’s AM/FM
antenna cable from the rear of the radio
Plug the FM antenna cable from the FM Direct Adapter into the same connector on
vehicle’s AM/FM radio (An additional adapter may be required )
Plug the vehicle’s AM/FM antenna cable (which was disconnected from the vehicle’s
AM/FM radio) into the female FM antenna socket of the FM Direct Adapter (An ad-
ditional adapter may be required )
Plug the mini-connector of the FM Direct Adapter into the fm oUT connection on your
SIRIUS radio (for radios without a vehicle dock), or into the fm oUT connection on your
SIRIUS vehicle dock (for radios with a vehicle dock)
Choose a channel on the FM band of the vehicle’s AM/FM radio that has little or no
reception from a local FM station You can consult the SIRIUS website at http://www.
sirius.com/fmchannel for more information on finding a clear FM channel in your area
Choose the same channel from the FM Frequency menu of your SIRIUS radio (Refer to
the user guide of your SIRIUS radio for more details )
If the installation is successful, you should hear the SIRIUS broadcasts through the vehicle’s
AM/FM radio
