3. Wireless FM Modulator
The XM receiver is equipped with an FM modulator, which can transmit
the XM audio to your car’s FM radio without wires.
IMPORTANT: For best wireless FM modulator performance, you must
locate the satellite radio antenna in a location that is in close proximity to
the vehicle’s FM antenna.
For example, with reference to figure 1, if your FM antenna is located on a
rear fender or top of the roof, mount the XM antenna near the rear window
location (option 1). If your FM antenna is located on a front fender, mount
the XM antenna near the windshield location (option 2). Remember, the
closer the satellite radio antenna can be to the FM antenna, the better the
wireless FM reception and sound quality will be.
In order to optimize the operation of the wireless FM modulator, follow the
installation guidelines outlined in steps 1 through 4:

on the following criteria for your specific vehicle:

in front of the rear window (option 1) or behind the windshield (option 2).

steel surface with an unobstructed view of the open sky and minimum of
3 to 6 inches of metal surrounding the antenna.
