Install the SIRIUS receiver away from your 2003 Nissan Pathfinder's navigation system.
Installing SIRIUS Satellite Radio in your 2003 Nissan Pathfinder gives you and your passengers access to hundreds of uncensored, commercial-free music, sports and other entertainment channels. However, an external navigation system may limit installation space availability. The SIRIUS Satellite Radio car installation kit provides multiple location possibilities for your 2003 Nissan Pathfinder's plug-and-play receiver so that you may work around the navigation system. The kit contains everything you need to get started, including multiple receiver mounts to choose from.
Instructions
1. Choose a location for inside the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder that is suitable for your SIRIUS Satellite Radio plug-and-play receiver. You can install the receiver on a vent, the windshield or dashboard, so long as you can avoid the navigation system. Test out the various mounts before deciding on one. Your final mount location must be comfortably within the driver's arm's reach without impeding the driver's vision.
2. Install the SIRIUS Satellite Radio plug-and-play receiver mount to your desired location in the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder's cabin. Slip the vent mount onto a driver's side vent. Alternatively, you may attach the suction cup mount directly behind the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder's rear view mirror on the windshield near the driver's side window. Finally, you may use an alcohol pad from the car installation kit to wipe down a flat dashboard surface away from the navigation system. Peel the sticker from the base of the dashboard mount and press it down onto the clean surface. Allow the adhesive mount to dry untouched for at least 24 hours.
3. Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to fasten the docking cradle to the receiver mount if necessary. Otherwise, slip the docking cradle onto the mount.
4. Stick the magnetic or adhesive SIRIUS Satellite Radio antenna included in the car installation kit onto your 2003 Nissan Pathfinder's roof. There should be no racks or wires within a 3-inch radius of the antenna.
5. Open the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder's rear door. Run the antenna's wire down the weather stripping and into the passenger area. Run the wire under the carpet and up to the receiver mount, making sure to avoid the navigation system. Insert the antenna wire's TRS plug into the docking cradle's "Antenna" or "ANT" input port.
6. Connect the SIRIUS Satellite Radio plug-and-play receiver mount to power. Insert the power adapter included in the car installation kit into the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder's cigarette lighter. Insert the power adapter's TRS plug into the docking cradle's "PWR" or "DC" port.
7. Insert the SIRIUS Satellite plug-and-play receiver into the docking cradle to give the device power and a satellite signal. Turn the receiver on manually if it does not start automatically upon insertion.
8. Turn on the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder and tune its stock radio to the frequency displayed on the plug-and-play receiver. You will then be able to hear SIRIUS Satellite Radio through your 2003 Nissan Pathfinder's speakers.
9. Call the customer service number shown on the SIRIUS Satellite Radio plug-and-play receiver to activate the service. This number is also documented in the receiver's owner's manual. You may also activate the service from the SIRIUS website.
