[ Installation ] 21Installing the AntennaThe optimum mounting location for the magnetic antenna is on the roof of the vehicle, with a minimum unobstructed area of 12 inches by 12 inches, and exactly 6½ inches from the rear roof edge of the vehicle (the length of the rubber antenna cable cover/tail). It is important to avoid any obstructions that will block the SIRIUS signal, obstructions such as a roof rack, a sunroof, roof mounted cargo containers, or other antennas. For convertible vehicles, the antenna should be installed on the trunk lid.For best performance, it is recommended that the antenna be installed with the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. This rubber antenna cable cover/tail provides two benefits: first, it positions the antenna the recommended distance from the rear window, rear door/hatch, or trunk edge to give the antenna the best view of the sky. Secondly, it conceals and protects the exposed antenna cable. The rubber antenna cable cover/tail has adhesive strips that hold it securely in place.The following illustrations show the recommended mounting locations of the antenna for several types of vehicles. (Figure 8) Follow these recommendations for best performance from the antenna.Sedan/Coupe. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.Pickup Truck. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the cab roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear window.SUV/Mini-Van. Mount the antenna along the rear center-line of the vehicle roof, located at the rear of the roof near the rear door/hatch.Figure 8Figure 8

[ Installation ]22Convertible. Mount the antenna along the center-line of the trunk lid, with the rubber antenna cable cover/tail directed toward the rear window.When you have selected a suitable mounting location, clean the area where the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail will be mounted with the supplied alcohol swab.Rubber AntennaCover/TailProtectiveStripsAdhesiveStrainReliefCableConnect the rubber antenna cable cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strain-relief on the antenna sits into the rubber antenna cable cover/tail groove. (Figure 9) Route the antenna cable through the wire channel in the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. Do not remove the protective strips yet.Temporarily position the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail in the selected mounting area and route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the rubber molding around rear window, as shown in Figure 10.Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of any existing cable channels or wiring conduits. For SUVs, mini-vans and 5-door vehicles, bring the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.From the trunk, or rear of the vehicle, route the cable around the passenger compartment and to the front of the vehicle, to the radio. Take care not pull the cable across sharp edges that could damage it, and keep it away from areas where it might entangle feet. Coil any excess Figure 9Figure 9Figure 10Figure 10

(Refer to Figure 12 on page 24 for the location of this connector.)Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable routing, peel the protective material from the adhesive strips and press the rubber antenna cable cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle. Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on rub-ber antenna cable cover/tail for another 30 seconds. (Figure 11) At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.Figure 11Figure 11

[ Installation ] 39DIReCt ConneCtIonsA direct connection provides better audio performance than a wireless connection and removes the possibility of interference from local FM broadcasters. There are several ways to directly connect your Stiletto which are explained in the following sections. Direct Wired Audio ConnectionIf your vehicle radio offers an “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connection, it is the best audio connec-tion available. If the “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” connector is located on the front of your vehicle radio, this is also the easiest connection. (Figure 29)Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle radio and your SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer. Your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8” stereo male connector. Your local electronics retailer can help you determine the proper con-nection for your vehicle radio.Plug one end of the cable into the LINE OUT jack on the vehicle dock. (Refer to Figure 12 on page 24.) Plug the other end into your “AUX IN” or “LINE IN” jack on your vehicle radio.FMOFF 1.2.Tip: Depending on the model of radio in your vehicle and your level of comfort with in-car installations, a direct connection may require professional installation assistance.
