Maximizing Audio Quality From Your SIRIUS Radio
There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio: Wireless
Connection or Direct Connection. The following sections will help you obtain the best perfor-
mance. For the latest information go to

WIRELESS CONNECTION
Your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter sends the audio from your
SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio. (Figure 12)
90.1
Included with your SIRIUS radio is an FM Extender Antenna to maximize the audio quality of
your SIRIUS radio when using a wireless audio connection. Should the wireless audio qual-
ity without the FM Extender Antenna be not acceptable, you can try using the FM Extender
Antenna (or opt for a direct connection).
Wireless Audio Connection Without the FM Extender Antenna
To tune your vehicle’s FM radio and your SIRIUS radio to the same FM channel (Figure 12):
Turn off your SIRIUS radio and tune through the FM channels on your vehicle radio to
locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an FM channel
that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your
SIRIUS radio. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your
area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio. This will become your SIRIUS preset.
Turn on your SIRIUS radio. Press and hold the
Menu button to access the FM
channel number list on your SIRIUS radio. Tune to the channel that matches the SIRIUS
preset on your vehicle radio. Refer to the FM Frequency section on page 41 for more
detailed instructions on how to do this.
