product in your vehicle, advice for selecting a suitable mounting location for the Ve-
hicle Dock, installation of the antenna, and proper routing of all the necessary wires
and cables. If the locations of your SIRIUS radio and your vehicle's FM antenna
make the performance the SIRIUS radio's built-in FM transmitter within your ve-
hicle poor, a professional installer will have the necessary accessories to install an
optional FM Direct Adapter or audio cable to connect the audio output of the Ve-
hicle Dock directly to your vehicle's audio system. Ask your SIRIUS retailer if they
provide professional installation services, or can recommend a professional installation
service.

Installing the Vehicle Dock

When installing the Vehicle Dock in your vehicle, choose a location in your vehicle where
it will not block your vision, interfere with the vehicle controls, or obstruct the air bag.
The location should be easily accessible and provide good visibility of the display, and
should not be located where it will be in direct sunlight which will affect the visibility of
the display screen.
The mounting accessories necessary to install the Vehicle Dock in a vehicle are provided.
