Secure the excess cable with wire ties. 5. Bring the end of the cable out at the SIRIUS Vehicle Dock location. Leave yourself enough cable so you can easily connect it to the antenna connector on the Vehicle Dock. [ Installation ] 27 TIPS The following DO and DO NOT antenna mounting tips illustrate how to install the antenna for optimal performance, and also illustrate where the antenna should not be installed. Mount the antenna DO on the roof, at least 3 inches from the edge. Mount the antenna on DO the roof where it has a clear view of the sky in all directions. 28 [ Installation ] Mount the antenna on 3” DO the roof where it has at least 3 inches of clear space around it. Use the supplied DO Rubber Tail Cover to protect the antenna cable. [ Installation ] 29 Don’t mount the DO antenna inside the vehicle, for example, NOT on the dashboard. Don’t mount the an- DO tenna on any of the vehicle’s front, back NOT or side pillars. 30 [ Installation ] Don’t mount the antenna close to a roof rack. Adjust the rack DO so it’s further away from the antenna or NOT move the antenna closer to the center of the roof. Don’t mount the antenna close to DO another antenna. NOT Mount it at least 3 inches away. [ Installation ] 31 32 [ Installation ] DO NOT Don’t mount the antenna closer than 3 inches from the edge of the roof. Use the supplied rubber tail/ cover as a guide for judging proper length and correct positioning. Docking Your SIRIUS InV2 To place your SIRIUS radio into the Dash Mount, gently slide the U-shaped fitting on the back of the InV2 unit into the Dash Mount until it snaps into place (see Figure 9). Figure 9 [ Installation ] 33 Connecting the Antenna After you’ve routed the antenna cable to the Dash Mount and docked the InV2, connect the antenna cable to the ANT connection on the unit’s left side (see Figure 10.) Connecting the Cigarette Lighter Adapter Connect the provided cigarette lighter adapter to the 5VDC connector on the left side of the InV2 unit. (See Figure 11.) Note: Do not power the InV2 directly from your vehicle’s 12VDC power system without using the Cigarette Lighter Adapter. This could damage your SIRIUS radio. Antenna Connection InV SI2 Unit (Left Side) Antenna Cable Connector Figure 10 InV SI2 Unit (Left Side) 5V DC Connection 12V Power Outlet Cigarette Lighter Adapter Figure 11 Cable Separation and Routing FCC Information The satellite antenna cable, FM extender antenna (FEA) cable and cigarette lighter adapter (CLA) power cable must be appropriately separated and routed for your radio to be compliant with federal regulations. Step 1 The connections on your radio are clearly marked. Install your radio and connect the antenna cable into the connection labeled “ANT”, the CLA power cable into the power connection marked “PWR” (or 5VDC) and the FEA cable into the connection marked “FM OUT”. (See Figure 12.) Power Antenna FEA Step 2 Figure 12 It is important that you keep the three cables as separate from each other as possible and that you keep the two antenna cables away from the radio and from the CLA power cable. The cables must not be bundled together as they exit the radio (see Figure 13, on page 35). As a guide, you can follow the diagram in Figure 13, adapting the example to suit your own vehicle’s configuration. For example, if you cigarette lighter socket is to the left of theradio, route the two antenna cables towards the passenger side of the vehicle. If your cigarette lighter socket is on the right-hand side of the radio, route the two antenna cables towards the driver’s door. The CLA cable and antenna cables MUST be routed in opposite directions. Safely conceal all antenna cables within door, carpet or cash panels to prevent snags and interference. 34 [ Installation ] Step 3 Coil any excess cable between the cigarette lighter socket and radio, keeping it away from vehicle pedals or controls to prevent any slack which might interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle. Secure the excess cable with wire ties. If possible, tuck the coiled part in a hidden location, such as in between the carpet and plastic panel of the front console (see Figure 14). Antenna Cable FEA Cable Power Cable Figure 13 Step 4 Follow the instructions in this manual to install, route and hide the antenna cable and the FEA cable. Be sure to coil and secure any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet on the passenger side, keeping it away from vehicle pedals and controls. The bundled cables should be as far away from the CLA power cable as possible (see Figure 15). Cable Hide Excess Cable Power Figure 14 D.Route Cable Under Carpet or Console C.
