Sirius Capable Radio Installation

Clear, static free signals are a perk of satellite radio.


There is no need to seek a professional to install your Sirius Satellite Radio, which is a radio capable of receiving signals from Sirius. As long as your car is satellite radio ready, the task is simple and doesn't require advance knowledge in car audio electronics --- just look for a Sirius logo, which will typically be located on the front of your factory-installed radio. You can also check with the car's owner's manual for the logo sticker's specific location. Many modern vehicles are satellite radio ready.


Instructions








1. Install the Sirius radio in the location of your choice. Press the suction cups to the flat surface of this location. The interior of your front window or a smooth dashboard work well.

3. Run the antenna wire from the mounted radio to the exterior of your car. Typically, the roof is a good place for the antenna. Extend the wire under the jams of the front and back driver's side doors, through the crevasse along side of the backseat and to the trunk. Open the trunk and retrieve the antenna and wire. Lay the wire against the crevasse between the trunk hood and body of the car. Expose just enough of the wire on the exterior of the car so that that antenna and reach the roof. Close the trunk.


4. Place the antenna on the roof of the car. This is magnetic device that will be attracted to the metal of your car's body.








5. Activate your Sirius Satellite Radio. Retrieve the ESN number. This is located on the back of the radio that you have mounted in your car. Call Sirius at 1-888-539-7474 to supply a customer service representative with your ESN number to complete activation.
