12Vehicle Installation
13Vehicle InstallationNOTE: ALL REFERENCES TO iPhone IN THIS MANUAL ALSO APPLY TO THE iPod touch UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.Installing the SkyDock in Your VehicleStep 1: Finding a Location for the SkyDock The SkyDock mounts into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or 12V power socket. If your vehicle has more than one 12V power socket, be sure to choose one that doesn’t interfere with the driver’s vision or access to driving controls, doesn’t interfere with the deployment of airbags or other safety equipment, and makes the iPhone easily accessible for operation. Please see the safety warnings on page 8. It will be easier to make connections to your SkyDock before you plug it into the power socket, so we recommend completing Step 2 and Step 3 first.Step 2: Mounting the Antenna and Routing the CableIMPORTANT: THE SKYDOCK USES A UNIQUE ANTENNA. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE AN ANTENNA FROM ANY OTHER XM RADIO FOR THE SKYDOCK ANTENNA. REPLACEMENT SKYDOCK ANTENNAS ARE AVAILABLE FROM WWW.XMRADIO.COM.a) Mount the antenna on the outside of your vehicle, on a horizontal surface that will always face the sky. The antenna contains a strong magnet that will stick to any metal part of your vehicle. Leave at least 3” of metal around at least three sides of the antenna. Magnet
14Vehicle InstallationFor most vehicles the best location is on the roof towards the front of the cab, above the front windshield, as close to centered between the left and right sides as the cable length will allow. For convertibles, locate the antenna on the trunk lid, at least 3” from any edge. (If the cable does not reach, locate the antenna on top of the front windshield frame.)Recommended Antenna LocationsSedans and Coupes Pickups and SUVsConvertibles** If the antenna will not reach the trunk lid, mount it on the top of the front windshield frame.
15 b) Route the antenna wire under the rubber molding around the front windshield to the nearest corner. Then route the cable out of the windshield molding and into the rubber weather stripping around the door opening. Lift the weather stripping from the open-ing and tuck the cable inside it, then replace the weather strip-ping. Run the cable inside of the weather stripping to the bottom of the door opening. c) Recommended: Hide the antenna wire inside the cabin. Pull the cable out of the weather strip-ping at the bottom of the door opening and route it under the carpet toward the 12V power socket. 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. TIP! Always be careful to include enough slack in your routing to accommodate open doors or trunk lids. Use electrical tape to secure the cable in areas so that hinges do not pinch the cable with the door. Place AntennaCloser to A-Pillarif Cable Doesn’t Reach Center of Roof12VPower SocketLocation
163. Connect the SkyDock to Your Audio Systema) Plug the Antenna into the SkyDock’s ANTENNA CONNECTOR. The antenna plug and cable will fit into the recess on the top of the SkyDock base.b) If your vehicle’s audio system has an audio input (for MP3 players, etc), connect the included Audio Cable between it and the SkyDock’s AUDIO CONNECTOR. This is the best quality and easiest audioconnection for your SkyDock.Vehicle InstallationAntennaConnectorAntennaPlugConnecting the AntennaConnecting the Audio CableAudioCableAudioConnectorAudioCablePlug
17c) If your vehicle’s audio system does not have an audio input, your SkyDock incorporates a special FM transmitter called PowerConnect that will ‘broadcast’ its audio to your vehicle’s FM radio through your vehicle’s power system. See Setting-Up the FM Transmitter, on page 26, for details.4. Plug the SkyDock Into the Vehicle’s 12V Power SocketMake sure the SkyDock is inserted all the way into the power socket.NOTE: AFTER PLUGGING THE SKYDOCK INTO THE POWER SOCKET, ALIGN THE CABLES SO THEY DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE.12V PowerSocket
18Vehicle InstallationDocking the iPhone in the SkyDockInserting the Spacers Your SkyDock comes with three numbered urethane spacers that assure a proper fit with different iPhone and iPod touch models, with and without aftermarket skins (thin cases that surround and protect the iPhone or iPod touch).IMPORTANT: THE SKYDOCK WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE ALL TYPES OF AFTERMARKET SKINS. COMPATIBLE SKINS MUST NOT BE THICKER THAN 2MM IN ANY DIRECTION AND MUST HAVE A LARGE ENOUGH OPEN AREA AROUND THE CONNECTOR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE iPhone/iPod touch TO ALLOW IT TO SEAT PROPERLY IN THE SKYDOCK.Spacer 1: For iPhone with compatible skinSpacer 2: For iPhone without skin; for iPod touch with compatible skinSpacer 3: For iPod touch without skinInstall the appropriate Spacer by inserting it all the way into the recess in the SkyDock (top).Removing the Spacers1.

21Adjusting the Flexible StalkThe SkyDock’s flexible stalk gives you lots of freedom to position the iPhone so it is convenient for you to use. You can twist the stalk up to 90° in either direction (see illustration), and bend it to be clear of controls or other items.CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-ROTATE THE STALK — DOING SO COULD DAM-AGE IT.Rotating the SkyDockYou can rotate the SkyDock up to 100° in either direction so that the iPhone is landscape-oriented instead of portrait oriented. The XM SkyDock app will automatically orient the screen image to match the SkyDock’s orientation.CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-ROTATE PAST THE STOPPING POINT — DOING SO COULD DAMAGE THE SKYDOCK. NOTE: ENSURE THAT THE SKYDOCK AND IPHONE WILL NOT BLOCK AIRBAGS AS THEY DEPLOY, OR BLOCK ANY CONTROLS NEEDED FOR OPERATING THE VEHICLE.
