Install the Magnetic Mount Antenna
Proper placement of the Magnetic Mount Antenna is very important. Consult
a professional installer if you are uncomfortable with installing the antenna
yourself. More detailed installation instructions and illustrations can be found at
www.siriusxm.ca/help
.
•
Locate the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the
outside of your vehicle on a horizontal surface
that always faces the sky.
•
Avoid placing the antenna near obstacles that
could block a clear view of the sky (such as
roof racks, other antennas like AM/FM, cellular,
and GPS), preventing the satellite signal from
reaching the antenna.
Select the Best Location for the Magnetic Mount Antenna
For most vehicles the best location is on the roof,
centered above the rear window or front windshield.
Consult a professional installer to find an alternate
antenna mounting location if your vehicle roof is made
from a non-magnetic material such as aluminum,
fiberglass, or carbon fibre.
•
Sedan or Coupe:
Recommended mounting location
is above the rear window or front windshield.
•
Pickup or SUV:
Recommended mounting location is
above the front windshield.
•
Convertible:
Recommended mounting location is
above the front windshield, or alternately on the
trunk lid, on the front hood, or on top of the front
fender.
Route the Antenna Cable
If you are installing the antenna at the edge of the roof or hood, install the
Antenna Cable Routing Adapter to direct the
cable downward. Place the antenna cable
into the groove of the adapter and slide the
adapter down the cable until the adapter is
flush with the bottom of the antenna.
Use care when routing the antenna cable into and through the vehicle
interior, avoiding sharp objects that can damage the cable. Keep the antenna
cable away from moving parts such as gas and brake pedals, trunk and door
hinges, and sliding seat brackets.
Hide the antenna wire inside the vehicle cabin by routing the cable under the
carpet and behind plastic trim, toward the headunit location. Coil and secure
any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, using wire
ties (not included).
CAUTION!
Do not kink or sharply fold the antenna cable.
Make the Connections
You’ll need to access the back of the SiriusXM-Ready headunit so you can
plug the SXV200C Vehicle Tuner into it. This may require you to remove
the headunit from the dashboard. If you are uncomfortable with this step,
consult a professional installer.
Be sure to turn OFF the SiriusXM-Ready headunit before connecting the
SXV200C Vehicle Tuner. Locate the SiriusXM connector on the headunit
and connect the SXV200C. The headunit may have a panel mount type
connector, or it may have a pigtail type connector.
Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna
into the SXV200C Vehicle Tuner.
Secure the Tuner
Secure the SXV200C Vehicle Tuner behind the vehicle headunit location or
under the dash using wire ties (not included).
Thread the wire ties through the molded brackets on the underside of the
Tuner as shown. Then secure it to a bracket or wiring harness using the wire
ties. Avoid brackets with sharp edges and any moving parts such as gas and
brake pedals.
Reinstall the vehicle headunit if it had been removed from the dashboard.
