SKYFi Car Cradle Installation Using the enclosed car cradle mount Your SKYFi Vehicle Kit comes with a car cradle mount, which can be installed as follows: 1. First, attach all of the components as shown in figure 7 (page 8). Put your SKYFi Receiver into its car cradle and ver- ify that the system is working. - Page 11 5. Warm the cradle mount adhesive pad by using a hair dryer or by placing the cra- dle mount on top of the vehicle’s defrost outlet for several minutes with the heater on. Remove the liner from the adhesive pad and adhere to the vehicle’s surface. Make sure you accurately place the pad on the first try since in many cases it will bond almost immediately.
- Page 12 Removing car cradle mount from your dashboard You can remove the car cradle mount from your dashboard by taking the following steps: 1. Lift one edge of the adhesive pad gently with fingers or the rounded edge of a spoon. Once enough of the edge is loos- ened to grip with your fingers, pull the pad gently from the mounting surface at a 90-degree angle.
- Page 13 Using other third-party mounts The SKYFi Car Cradle is also designed to work with many different styles of readily available third-party cell phone, PDA, GPS, and other mounts. These will provide an almost infinite number of mounting options to suit any car interior. If you use one of these mounts, follow the installation instructions that come with the mount and install the SKYFi Car Cradle as follows:...
- Page 14 • Custom brackets. Pro.Fit International Vehicle Specific Mounts™ (VSMs) are avail- able for most vehicle types to give your installation a more integrated look. The VSMs are custom designed to be attached using existing hardware within your vehicle. The SKYFi Car Cradle can be attached to the VSM using the AMPS hole pattern on the back of the cradle as previously described.

XM Vehicle Antenna Installation Pre-installation signal check Caution: Installation of the XM Vehicle Antenna may require special tools as well as knowledge of vehicle mechanical procedures. If you are not comfort- able with or are unsure of these procedures, please seek the services of a professional car audio installer. - Page 16 Positioning and pre-application • The antenna must be mounted on a con- ductive (metal) surface of at least 2 square feet. A minimum distance of 5 inches should be kept from the molding of the rear window. • The antenna should always be mounted outside, on the highest location of your vehicle (roof/cab).
- Page 17 • Once you have a desired antenna location, plan how to route the cable from this location to the receiver, avoiding blocked passages and any obstructions that could kink, crimp, twist, or chafe the cable. If the cable will come into contact with a rough metal opening, use a rubber grommet to prevent damage.
- Page 18 Final installation 1. Verify that the antenna is in its final desired position. The antenna contains a powerful magnet that will secure the antenna to a metal roof under normal driving conditions. If desired, the extra adhesive pad included in the SKYFi Vehicle Kit can be used to create a more permanent mount.
