Direct Connections - Sirius Satellite Radio Stiletto 2 User Manual

Note: The FM transmitter in your SIRIUS radio is automatically set to FM channel 88.1.
This may not be the best channel in your area.
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. The Stiletto 2 can store multiple
FM transmit channels as presets, so you can easily switch to the best FM channel for each
city. You will also want to set the FM channels that are not broadcasting in each city as
presets on your vehicle radio.
You should now hear the audio from your SIRIUS radio over your vehicle's FM radio. If the
audio quality is not satisfactory, you should use a direct connection as described in the
next section.

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.
Tip: Depending on the model of radio in your vehicle and your level of comfort with in-car
installations, a direct connection may require professional installation assistance. Ask your
retailer or contact SIRIUS customer support for recommended installers in your area.
Direct Wired Audio Connection
If your vehicle radio offers an "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" connection, it is the best audio
connection available. If the "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" connector is located on the front of your
vehicle radio, this is also the easiest connection.
1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle radio and
your SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer. Your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8"
stereo male connector. Your local electronics retailer can help you determine the
proper connection for your vehicle radio.
2. Plug one end of the cable into the LINE OUT jack on the vehicle dock. (Refer to vehicle
