Install the Magnetic Mount Antenna

Proper placement of the Magnetic Mount Antenna is very important. Consult

a professional installer if you are uncomfortable with installing the antenna

yourself. More detailed installation instructions and illustrations can be found at

www.siriusxm.com/installation

and clicking on the

XM Vehicle Installation

link.

• Locate the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the

outside of your vehicle on a horizontal surface

that always faces the sky.

• Avoid placing the antenna near obstacles that

could block a clear view of the sky (such as

roof racks, other antennas like AM/FM, cellular,

and GPS), preventing the satellite signal from

reaching the antenna.

Select the Best Location for the Magnetic Mount Antenna

For most vehicles the best location is on the roof,

centered above the rear window or front windshield.

Consult a professional installer to find an alternate

antenna mounting location if your vehicle roof is made

from a non-magnetic material such as aluminum,

fiberglass, or carbon fibre.

• Sedan or Coupe:

Recommended mounting location

is above the rear window or front windshield.

• Pickup or SUV:

Recommended mounting location is

above the front windshield.

• Convertible:

Recommended mounting location is

above the front windshield, or alternately on the

trunk lid, on the front hood, or on top of the front

fender.

Route the Antenna Cable

If you are installing the antenna at the edge of the roof or hood, install the

Antenna Cable Routing Adapter to direct the

cable downward. Place the antenna cable

into the groove of the adapter and slide the

adapter down the cable until the adapter is

flush with the bottom of the antenna.
Use care when routing the antenna cable into and through the vehicle

interior, avoiding sharp objects that can damage the cable. Keep the antenna

cable away from moving parts such as gas and brake pedals, trunk and door

hinges, and sliding seat brackets.

Hide the antenna wire inside the vehicle cabin by routing the cable under the

carpet and behind plastic trim, toward the headunit location. Coil and secure

any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet, using wire

ties (not included).

CAUTION!

Do not kink or sharply fold the antenna cable.

Make the Connections

You’ll need to access the back of the SiriusXM-Ready headunit so you can

plug the SXV200 Vehicle Tuner into it. This may require you to remove

the headunit from the dashboard. If you are uncomfortable with this step,

consult a professional installer.
Be sure to turn OFF the SiriusXM-Ready headunit before connecting the

SXV200 Vehicle Tuner. Locate the SiriusXM connector on the headunit and

connect the SXV200. The headunit may have a panel mount type connector,

or it may have a pigtail type connector.

Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna

into the SXV200 Vehicle Tuner.

Secure the Tuner

Secure the SXV200 Vehicle Tuner behind the vehicle headunit location or

under the dash using wire ties (not included).
Thread the wire ties through the molded brackets on the underside of the

Tuner as shown. Then secure it to a bracket or wiring harness using the wire

ties. Avoid brackets with sharp edges and any moving parts such as gas and

brake pedals.

Reinstall the vehicle headunit if it had been removed from the dashboard.
