XM Antenna Setup
1 2
For best reception, the XM Antenna
should be placed either:
– In front of the rear window (option1)
– Behind the windshield (option 2)
When deciding which location to
choose, keep in mind:
– The antenna will perform best if it
has an unobstructed view of the
open sky and is surrounded by a
minimum of 3 to 6 inches of metal.
– For best FM modulator perf o rm a n c e ,
locate the antenna as close to
the vehicle's FM antenna as possible.

– If the vehicle has roof racks or skid
ribs, the antenna can be mounted
off-center.
– Trunk mounting is an alternative for
hard- or soft-top convertibles with
nonmetallic rooftops, though recep-
tion may not be as good.
Important: Do not install antenna inside the
vehicle passenger compartment. An antenna
mounted on the dashboard or on the rear window
deck area of the vehicle will likely experience signal
i n t e rruption issues and must be avoided. Mounting
the antenna on a nonmetallic surface will also
result in severe degradation in re c e p t i o n .
Wa rn i n g : Failure to properly install the
antenna may result in injury to you or others if it
becomes detached during an accident.
