  • Page 20: Installing The Antenna

    Installing the Antenna The installation of the magnetic antenna consists of two installation steps: • Mounting the magnetic antenna and cover/tail on the vehicle • Routing the antenna cable through the vehicle to the SIRIUS radio or vehicle dock The following sections provide instructions for both installation steps. antenna mountIng The SIRIUS Magnetic Mount Vehicle Antenna has a strong magnetic mount designed to hold the antenna in place during normal driving conditions (highway/city).
  • Page 21 Sedan/Coupe Sedan/Coupe Follow this procedure to mount the antenna: Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstruct- ed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna. Attach the rubber cover/tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 9, and press the antenna cable into the rubber cover/tail.
  • Page 22 Protective Material Double check that the location of the antenna and rubber cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on rubber cover/tail for another 30 seconds. At room temperature (68 degrees), maximum adhesion usually occurs within 72 hours. During this period, avoid car washes and other contact with the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail.

  • Page 31: Maximizing Audio Quality From Your Stiletto 2 Radio

    Maximizing Audio Quality From Your Stiletto 2 Radio There are two primary ways to connect your SIRIUS radio to your vehicle radio: Wireless Connection or Direct Connection. The following sections will help you obtain the best perfor- mance. For the latest information go to http://www.sirius.com/vehicleinstallation. WIReless ConneCtIon Your SIRIUS radio contains an FM transmitter.
  • Page 32 to locate an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area. If you use an FM channel that is being used by a local broadcaster, it will interfere with the performance of your SIRIUS radio. Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio.
  • Page 33 Wireless audio Connection Using the fm extender Cable The FM Extender Antenna brings the FM signal transmitted from your SIRIUS radio into close proximity with your vehicle’s FM antenna to provide a strong FM signal for good reception. (Figure 17) If you are using a FM wireless connection to transmit the audio from your SIRIUS radio to your vehicle’s FM radio, using the FEA will provide an stronger FM signal with better audio quality from your SIRIUS radio.
  • Page 34 C. In-glass, in the rear windshield: Several strands of wires in the rear windshield glass, usu- ally near the top of the window. There is a difference between the rear window defroster wires found in many vehicles and the FM antenna. The rear window defroster wires have uniform spac- ing and all wires run from edge to edge in the glass while the FM antenna wires have uneven spacing, breaks in the wires, and some of the wires do not run from edge to edge in the glass.
  • Page 35 Step 2: Prepare the FEA for temporary installation Attach the suction cups to the antenna portion of the FEA in the positions shown in Figure 20. The antenna portion of the FEA is the relatively thinner section of the cable in between the bead and the arrow, and transmits the FM signal to your vehicle’s FM antenna.

(Figure 4) For vehicles with the roof top antenna, center the FEA below the antenna whip. For vehicles with the in-glass antenna, the FEA should be directly over one of the FM antenna’s wires.
  • Page 38 for vehicles with an type fm antenna: • Whip/aerial mounted on the rear fender or trunk Mount the FEA vertically on the rear windshield at the edge of the glass, on the same side as the antenna (i.e. nearest to the antenna). (Figure 23) Clean the suction cup mounting areas with the alcohol swab.

(Figure 31) Use the cable guides to hold the cable in place until it reaches the inner trim or moulding at the edge of the window.
  • Page 45 Tips for Identifying the fm antenna Correct identification of your vehicle’s FM antenna is a key to a successful installation. The preceding installation section already showed you the differing kinds of FM antennas found on vehicles, however, there are several types of antennas found on vehicles which you may at first believe to be the FM antenna but in reality they are not.
  • Page 46 Greater confusion may arise with whip type antennas. Figure 33 shows some whip type antennas which can be found on a vehicle’s front or rear roof, or on the rear windshield. Some of these antennas could be the FM antenna and some are not the FM antenna. Antennas with a short 2-4 inch stubby whip or protrusion are not FM antennas, while anten- nas with a whip length of 7 inches or longer are likely to be the FM antenna.

  • Page 47: Direct Connections

    DIReCt ConneCtIons A direct connection provides better audio performance than a wireless connection and removes the possibility of interference from local FM broadcasters. There are several ways to directly connect your Stiletto 2 which are explained in the following sections.
