Before you begin, you may want to have the User Guide for your Satellite Radio handy, as there are a couple
of steps where we suggest you reference it. If you do not have the User Guide, go to www.siriusxm.ca.
You can use either the Dash Mount or the Window Mount for your Radio, depending upon your vehicle and
the location where you want to place your Radio.
CAUTION! Make sure your Radio isn’t in a place where it could interfere with driver visibility or safe deployment
of the airbags. Airbag locations are typically marked with “SRS” logos.
Installing the Dash Mount:
CAUTION: The adhesive used on the Dash Mount may be difficult
to remove. Do not install this mount on leather surfaces (contact
your automobile dealership if you are unsure about your dash
surface),, and make sure the air temperature is at least 60°F (15°C)
during installation. If it’s not at least 60°F, turn on the heater in
your vehicle to bring the temperature up to 60°F.
A. Locate a flat surface for the Dash Mount. Make sure there is
ample room for the Universal Vehicle Dock and Radio when
installed.
B. Set the orientation of the Dash Mount before adhering
it. Loosen the knob and adjust the adhesive foot for the
location you selected:
C. Attach the Dash Mount to the Universal Vehicle
Dock using the provided screws.
D. Clean the surface with the alcohol preparation
pad and let it dry thoroughly.
E. Peel off the adhesive liner. Position, press, and
hold the Dash Mount and Universal Vehicle Dock
in place for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT! Allow the Dash Mount adhesive to cure (dry) for at
least 24 hours before using the mount.

should be oriented like the
image above.
DASH MOUNT - Option 3
should be oriented like
the image above.
F. The dock mounting plate can be tilted in different directions. Adjust as necessary for your particular vehicle.
When the orientation is correct, tighten the knob.
IMPORTANT! For clarity, the following illustrations do not show the dock attached to the mount. However, the dock should
already be attached as shown in step 3.
Installing the Window Mount:
A. Locate a place on the windshield for the mount. Make sure there is ample room for the Universal Vehicle Dock
and Radio when installed, and that it does not block the driver’s vision or any airbag. (Airbag locations are
typically marked with “SRS” logos.)
B. Clean the surface with the alcohol preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.
C. Attach the Window Mount to the Universal Vehicle Dock using the
provided screws.

IMPORTANT! For clarity, the following illustrations do not show the dock attached to the mount. However, the
dock should already be attached as shown in step C.
D. Press and hold the mount against the windshield. Then
press the lever all the way down to attach the Window
Mount to the windshield.
E. Loosen the knob on the Window Mount to adjust the
height of the Radio for the best view. Once the height
is correct, tighten the knob. The dock mounting plate
can be swiveled to the left or right, and adjusted up or
down, to optimize the driver’s view of the Radio.

A. Choose the best location for the Magnetic Mount Antenna considering your vehicle type.
Refer to the antenna placement tips and cautions in the User Guide beginning on page 18.
•Sedan or Coupe: We recommend mounting the antenna above either the front
windshield or the back window.
•Pickup Truck: We recommend mounting the antenna above the front windshield.
•Convertible: We recommend mounting the antenna at the leading edge of the trunk.
•SUV: We recommend mounting the antenna at the rear of the roof.
CAUTION! STOP and read the more specific instructions in the User Guide for all types of vehicles — or get someone
who knows vehicles to help — if you don’t understand what to do. You might accidentally do damage to your ride.
B. Attach the Rubber Tail to the Magnetic Mount Antenna and
press the antenna cable into the Rubber Tail. Use the Rubber Tail to
position the antenna the correct 3” distance from the edge of the roof
or trunk lid.
Clean the surface of the selected mounting location using
the alcohol preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.
Peel the protective material from the adhesive strips
and press the Rubber Tail firmly into place on the vehicle
for 30 seconds. At room temperature (68° F), maximum
adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this
period, avoid car washes and other contact with the
antenna and the Rubber Tail.
Feed the antenna wire under the rubber molding around the front or rear
windshield, and into the seal around the trunk or door. For a convertible,

the cable can be routed directly into the trunk.
TIP! Use a tool like a blunt plastic putty knife, a credit card, a plastic knife, or a similar blunt tool to help hide
wires along the windshield trim and interior trim.
Hide the Magnetic Mount Antenna Cable Inside the Vehicle
The best place to hide your Magnetic Mount Antenna cable depends on your type of vehicle.
When the antenna is mounted at the rear of the vehicle, it’s usually easiest to run the cable from the rear
to the front toward the Radio by routing the cable along the interior trim where it meets the carpet, gently
pushing it behind the edges of the trim. Bring the cable out from the trim and route it under the carpet
toward the dashboard.
When the antenna is mounted at the front of the vehicle, bring the cable into the
rubber weather stripping around the door to the bottom of the door opening. Bring
the cable out of the weather stripping and route it under the carpet toward the
dashboard.
Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, keeping it away
from any vehicle pedals or controls. Secure the excess cable with wire ties.
Plug the antenna into the silver ANT connection on the right side of the dock.
TIP! A dry vehicle is nice. Avoid damaging or compromising the window, door, and
trunk seals while routing the cable.
TIP! For more help, refer to the detailed antenna cable routing instructions for your
type of vehicle, in the User Guide beginning on page 25.
