Installation

Mounting the SIRIUS Antenna
The SIRIUS antenna has powerful magnetic
mounting to hold on place to metal surface. The
antenna's tail protects the exposed portion of
antenna cable from the elements. The tail has
an adhesive strip that will firmly adhere it to the
vehicle.

Find an antenna location on a metal surface al
least 12"x12" (30.5cm x 30.5cm). Best reception
is achieved with antenna mounted on the
roof; mounting on the trunk lid will work for
convertibles.

• For the best reception, the antenna should be mounted
exactly 6.5" (16.5cm) away from the vehicle's rear
window, so that only the portion of the cable that will be
protected by the tail is exposed.
• If the vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may be
necessary to mount antenna off-center, away from
obstructions that could interfere with reception.

• SIRIUS antenna installation should be carried out at or
above room temperature. Colder temperatures could
affect the curing time antenna tails adhesive. At room
temperature, maximum adhesion usually occurs within
72 hours. During this period, car washes and other
contact with antenna and tail should be avoided. Warmer
temperatures will also make it easier to route the antenna
cable around any windows or other obstructions.
