  • Page 21: Installing The Magnetic Antenna

    Installing the Magnetic Antenna Caution Because adhesive is used in the installation of the Rubber Antenna Cover/Tail, we recommend that you install the antenna at or above room temperature (68° F). The adhesive on the Rubber Cover/Tail may not adhere properly to the vehicle roof at temperatures lower than this. Warmer temperatures will also make it easier to route of the antenna cable through the rubber molding around the windows and in other areas in the vehicle.
  • Page 22 Figure 9 shows the optimal mounting location for the antenna on several types of vehicles. These mounting positions should be observed when installing the antenna: Sedan/Coupe Pickup Truck SUV/Mini-Van Convertible Figure 9 • Sedan/Coupe/SUV/Mini-Van: Install the antenna at the rear center of the roof, near the rear window.
  • Page 23 Follow this procedure to mount the antenna: Select an appropriate mounting position for your type of vehicle that has an unobstructed area of 3 inches by 3 inches around the antenna. Attach the Rubber Cover/Tail to the antenna, as shown in Figure 10, and press the an- tenna cable into the rubber cover/tail.
  • Page 24 CABLE ROUTING After you have mounted the antenna you can route the antenna cable to the SIRIUS Vehicle Dock. Separate antenna cable routing procedures are provided for each type of vehicle: Sedan/Coupe, Pickup Truck, SUV/Mini-Van and Convertible. Note that additional breakout illustrations for each step of the antenna cable routing procedures can be found on the SIRIUS website at http://www.sirius.com.
  • Page 25 Follow these detailed cable installation instructions: Feed the cable from the antenna underneath the rubber molding around the rear window. Use a plastic putty knife or similar object to lift the rubber molding around the rear window and tuck the antenna cable underneath the molding. Route the antenna cable around and down the window to the lowest point.

  • Page 35: Connecting Your Sirius Radio To Your Vehicle's Audio System

    Connecting Your SIRIUS Radio to Your Vehicle’s Audio System There are two ways to connect your SIRIUS Sportster SP5 to your vehicle’s audio system: Direct Connection or Wireless Connection. Which one will perform best in your vehicle depends on your vehicle’s audio system.

  • Page 36: Direct Fm Audio Connection

    Direct FM Audio Connection If your vehicle’s audio system does not have an Aux In/Line In connection, a SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter (sold separately) will provide the next best quality connection between your SIRIUS radio and your vehicle radio. You will listen to your SIRIUS radio through your car radio’s FM tuner, but the SIRIUS FM Direct Adapter connects your vehicle’s FM radio directly to your SIRIUS radio’s FM Out jack, eliminating the outside static and interference you sometimes experience when using a wireless FM connection.

  • Page 37: Cassette Adapter

    Cassette Adapter If your vehicle’s audio system has a cassette player you can purchase a cassette adapter from your local electronics retailer or from SIRIUS at http://shop.sirius.com. Plug the adapter’s connector into the A jack on the left side of the Vehicle Dock, and insert the adapter into UDIO your vehicle’s cassette player.

Once you have located an FM channel that is not broadcasting in your area, save it as a preset on your vehicle radio.

  • Page 39: Wireless Audio Connection Using The Fm Extender Antenna

    TIP: If you regularly travel between cities with different active FM channels, you may need to find channels that are not broadcasting in each city. Your SIRIUS Sportster SP5 can store up to 5 preset FM transmit channels (see Figure 24, left), so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for each city.
  • Page 40 Because of the different kinds and locations of radio antennas found in different vehicles, SIRIUS suggests that the FM Extender Antenna be professionally installed in your vehicle. Professional installation provides an experienced technician to install the Extender Antenna, knowledge of your vehicle for locating its radio antenna, and routing the cable and connecting it to your SIRIUS radio.
  • Page 41 • On-Glass Type Radio Antenna: Wires on the window glass of the vehicle, usually near the top of the window. It may be located on the windshield glass, the rear window glass, or a rear side window in some SUV and mini-van type vehicles (and other vehicles).
  • Page 42 The FM Extender Antenna should be mounted inside the vehicle, as close as possible to the vehicle antenna. A test mounting should be done first using the included suction cup mounts to test the installation. Once you find a location that provides good results, you will remove the suction cups and permanently adhere the FM Extender Antenna using the supplied adhesive mounts.
