Connecting The Starmate St5 To Your Vehicle's Audio System - Sirius XM RAdio Starmate STS User Manual

Connecting the Starmate ST5 to Your Vehicle's
Audio System
There are two ways to connect your SIRIUS Starmate STS 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. For the latest information go to
http://www.
sirius.com/vehicleinstallation.
Direct Wired Audio Connection
If your vehicle's audio system has an "Aux IN" or "LINE IN" jack it is the best-quality audio
connection you can use for your SIRIUS radio. (And if the Aux IN or LINE IN connector is
located somewhere on the front of your vehicle radio or elsewhere in the cabin, this is
also the easiest way to connect your SIRIUS receiver.)
1. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your vehicle's audio
system and your SIRIUS Vehicle Dock at your local electronics retailer.
• The Vehicle Dock requires a male 118" stereo connector.
2. Plug the cable's male 118" stereo connector into the
AUDIO
jack on the left side of the
Vehicle Dock. Plug the other end into the Aux IN/LINE IN connector on your vehicle's
audio system (see Figure 22).
