SiriusXM NGVA1 - Vehicle Antenna Installation Guide

Install the Magnetic Mount Antenna

Proper placement of the Magnetic Mount Antenna is very important. Consult a professional installer if you are uncomfortable with installing the antenna yourself. More detailed installation instructions and illustrations can be found at
www.siriusxm.com/installation.

• Place the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the outside of your vehicle on a horizontal surface that always faces the sky.
  
• Avoid placing the antenna near obstacles that could block a clear view of the sky (such as roof racks, other antennas like AM/FM, cellular, and GPS), preventing the satellite signal from reaching the antenna.

Select the Best Location for the Magnetic Mount Antenna

For most vehicles the best location is on the roof, centered above the rear window or front windshield. Consult a professional installer to find an alternate antenna mounting location if your vehicle roof is made from a non-magnetic material such as aluminum, fiberglass, or carbon fibre.

• Sedan or Coupe:Recommended mounting location is above the rear window or front windshield.
  
• Pickup or SUV:Recommended mounting location is above the front windshield.
  
• Convertible: Recommended mounting location is above the front windshield, or alternately on the trunk lid, on the front hood, or on top of the front fender.
  

Route the Antenna Cable

Use care when routing the antenna cable into and through the vehicle interior, avoiding sharp objects that can damage the cable. Keep the antenna cable away from moving parts such as gas and brake pedals, trunk and door hinges, and sliding seat brackets.

Hide the antenna wire inside the vehicle cabin by routing the cable under the carpet and behind plastic trim, toward the radio location. Coil and secure any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, using wire ties (not included).

Do not kink or sharply fold the antenna cable.

1. Feed cable under rubber moulding around window.
2. Route cable out of window moulding and into weatherstripping around trunk opening.
3. Route cable along trunk wall and into cabin.
4. Route cable from trunk under interior trim, into cabin and towards front of vehicle.
5. Bring cable out from trim and route under carpet and behind the dash to the Radio. Coil and secure excess cable under carpet or behind dash.

Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on SiriusXM Connect Vehicle Tuner or Vehicle Dock.
