Find a Location for the Vehicle Dock and Mount it

Select either the Dash Mount or the Vent Mount method for mounting the Vehicle Dock. You will need a phillips screwdriver to complete the installation.
NOTE: Your Radio may be a different model than the Radio shown here.
IMPORTANT! To make the cable connections easier, wait until after you have connected all the cables to the dock before you attach the dock to the dash or to a vent.

Dash Mount Method:

IMPORTANT: The air temperature needs to be at least 60° F to install the Dash Mount. If needed, turn on the heater in
your vehicle.
A. Select a flat surface for the Dash Mount with ample room for the Vehicle Dock and Radio. Avoid mounting on
leather surfaces. Choose a location that doesn't interfere with the driver's vision or access to driving controls,
one that won't interfere with the deployment of airbags or other safety equipment, and makes your Radio easily
accessible for operation. (Airbag locations are typically marked with "SRS" logos.)

foot to position 1 or 2, and then tighten it.

C. Attach the Dash Mount to the PowerConnect Vehicle
Dock using the 4 provided screws.
D. Before you attach the Dash Mount to the dash, skip ahead
and finish the remainder of the vehicle installation so that the
cables are attached to the dock.
E. Once the cables have been attached to the dock, clean the
mounting surface in the vehicle with the alcohol preparation
pad and let it dry thoroughly.
F. Once the surface is dry, remove the adhesive liner. Press Dock Mounting Plate
and hold the Dash Mount in place for 30 seconds. Allow the
adhesive cure for 2-4 hours.
G. You can tilt the dock mounting plate in your preferred
direction. (Note that for clarity the illustration does not show
the Vehicle Dock attached to the Dash Mount.)

Vent Mount Method:

A. Select a vent with ample room for the Vehicle Dock and Radio, one that won't interfere with the
deployment of airbags or other safety equipment, and makes your Radio easily accessible for operation.
(Airbag locations are typically marked with "SRS" logos.)

B. Some vents have recessed louvers. If yours are recessed, remove the regular length vent clamps and
install the extended length vent clamps.
C. Attach the Vent Mount to the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock using the
4 provided screws.
D. Before you attach the Vent Mount to the vent, skip ahead and finish
the remainder of the vehicle installation so that the cables are
attached to the dock.
E. Once the cables have been attached to the dock, install the Vent
Mount onto the vehicle vent. (Note that for clarity the illustrations
below do not show the Vehicle Dock attached to the Vent Mount.)
i. Insert the vent mount into the vent opening.
ii. Push until hooked on the rear of the vent louver. Rest the foot against the bottom of the vent.
iii. If necessary, adjust the tilt of the Vent Mount by repositioning the foot to a different tilt adjustment
hole.

Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna

A. Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna outside your vehicle, on a clean and dry horizontal surface
that will always face the sky.
B. Choose the location for the antenna according to your type of vehicle. Center it between the
left and right sides, and away from other antennas.
Sedans and Coupes Pickups Convertibles
(above front windshield or rear window) (above front windshield) (leading edge of trunk)
C. Install the Cable Routing Adapter to direct the antenna
cable downward, if mounting on an edge.
TIP: Use the Alcohol Prep Pad to clean the surface.

Route the Antenna Cable

NOTE: These instructions are for a sedan or coupe where the
antenna is mounted above the front windshield. The Vehicle Kit
User Guide has detailed antenna cable routing instructions for all
types of vehicles, beginning on page 23. Go to www.siriusxm.
Radio
com/guides for the User Guide.
Location
A. Tuck the antenna cable under the windshield rubber
molding and run it to the nearest corner.
B. Route the cable out of the molding and into the rubber
weather stripping around the door opening.
C. Lift the weather stripping. Tuck and run the cable inside it
to the bottom of the door opening. Replace the weather stripping.
D. Pull the cable out and route it to your Radio.
E. Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna connector into the silver ANT connector
at the rear the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock.
TIP: Include enough slack in your routing to accommodate open doors or the hood
lid. Coil any excess cable in a hidden location and keep it away from any vehicle
pedals or controls.
