Installation
SIRIUS suggests that you have your Sportster SP5 professionally-installed in your vehicle.
Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install this product in your vehicle,
advice for selecting a suitable mounting location for the Vehicle Dock, installation of the antenna,
and proper routing of all the necessary wires and cables. If the locations of your SIRIUS
radio and your vehicle's FM antenna make the performance of your SIRIUS radio's built-in
FM transmitter within your vehicle poor, a professional installer will have the necessary
accessories to install an optional FM Direct Adapter or audio cable to connect the audio output
of the Vehicle Dock directly to your vehicle's audio system. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they
provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation service.
Installing the Vehicle Dock
When installing the vehicle dock in your vehicle, choose a location that will not block your vi-
sion, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag. The location should be easily
accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and should not be located where it will be
in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of the radio's display screen.
The mounting accessories necessary to install the vehicle dock in a vehicle are provided.
Figure 1 shows two examples of the SIRIUS radio mounted in a vehicle: A is the suction cup
mount method, and B is the vent mount method using the vent mount clip.
Note: The supplied suction cup mount and vent mount should work in most vehicles. If your
installation requires a different mounting option, check with a local electronics retailer for
other compatible mounts that are available separately.
