The Bluetooth Vehicle Dock needs to be paired with your vehicle’s audio system. Once paired, you do not need to repeat the pairing process. After the dock is paired, the audio level of the
SiriusXM radio will need to be adjusted.
Some audio systems automatically pair with an available Bluetooth device (Automatic), and some create a list of available Bluetooth devices and you select a device from this list to pair
with (Manual). Follow the steps below for your type of audio system, either Automatic or Manual, and then follow the “Adjusting the Audio Level...” steps.
Automatic Bluetooth Pairing Procedure
A. Place the SiriusXM Radio into the Bluetooth Vehicle Dock, and turn on the Radio. If the Radio does not turn on automatically, press the power button to turn it on.
B. Press and hold the Bluetooth Button for a full 9 seconds until the Bluetooth Indicator LED turns from blue to red and begins alternately fast blinking blue and red (half second blink).
C. Place the vehicle’s audio system in pairing mode. Consult the instruction manual that accompanied your vehicle, or which accompanied the audio system installed in your vehicle, for
instructions on how to do this. The audio system will pair with the Bluetooth dock with no need to enter a PIN code. However, if your vehicle’s audio system prompts for a PIN code,
enter 0000.
D. Once paired, the blinking blue LED will become steady, and you should hear the SiriusXM audio. After about 20 seconds, the blue LED will dim. If pairing fails, repeat these pairing
steps again. If unsuccessful consult the Troubleshooting section.
Manual Bluetooth Pairing Procedure
A. Place the SiriusXM Radio into the Bluetooth Vehicle Dock. If the Radio does not turn on automatically, press the power button to turn it on.
B. Press and hold the Bluetooth Button for 5 seconds until the Bluetooth Indicator LED turns from blue to red and begins alternately blinking blue and red (one second blink).
C. Begin a Bluetooth scan on the vehicle’s audio system. Consult the instruction manual that accompanied your vehicle, or which accompanied the audio system installed in your vehicle,
for instructions on how to do this.
D. Select SiriusXM-XXXXXX for the Bluetooth Dock from the list. The audio system will pair with the Bluetooth dock with no need to enter a PIN code. However, if your vehicle’s audio
system prompts for a PIN code, enter 0000.
E. Once paired, the blinking blue LED will become steady, and you should hear the SiriusXM audio. After about 20 seconds, the blue LED will dim. If pairing fails, repeat these pairing
steps again. If unsuccessful consult the Troubleshooting section.
Adjusting the Audio Level of your SiriusXM Radio
A. Verify that AUX Detect is enabled. If you had previously disabled AUX Detect in your SiriusXM Radio, re-enable AUX Detect. Press Menu, select Factory Settings, and set AUX Detect
to enabled. For radios without Aux Detect, you must manually turn off the FM feature in your SiriusXM Radio or your audio will be too low.
B. Access Audio Level in SiriusXM Radio menu settings and adjust the Audio Level to the maximum volume setting. (You can then lower the Audio Level from maximum if the Bluetooth
audio is louder than other audio sources, such as the AM/FM radio.)
Pairing the Bluetooth Vehicle Dock and Adjusting the Audio Level
2
When you have paired the Bluetooth Vehicle Dock with
your vehicle’s audio system, the Bluetooth connection
will automatically be restored each time you turn your
vehicle on. Turn on the vehicle’s audio system and
your SiriusXM Radio, and wait a few moments for the
connection to be reestablished.
Note that the Bluetooth Vehicle Dock can only be paired
with one audio system at a time. If you pair it with a new
audio system, the Bluetooth Vehicle Dock forgets the
previous audio system.
To Turn Bluetooth On: Press and hold the Bluetooth
Button for two seconds until the Bluetooth Indicator
LED turns blue.
To Turn Bluetooth Off: Press and hold the Bluetooth
Button for two seconds until the Bluetooth Indicator
LED turns red. Then release the Bluetooth Button and
Bluetooth will turn off.
To Enter Pairing Mode: Turn Bluetooth off. Then press
and hold the Bluetooth Button for 5 seconds (for manual
pairing) or 9 seconds (for automatic pairing) until the
Bluetooth Indicator LED turns from blue to red and
begins alternately blinking blue and red. (One half second
blink rate for automatic pairing, or one second blink rate
for manual pairing.)
To Reconnect to a Paired Audio System: The Bluetooth
Vehicle Dock should automatically reconnect to
previously paired audio system. If the audio system
instructs you to reconnect from the dock, tap the
Bluetooth button on the dock to reconnect.
Using the Bluetooth
Vehicle Dock
3
You’ll need to replace the Vehicle Dock
that is installed in your vehicle with your
new Bluetooth Vehicle Dock.
A. Remove the SiriusXM Vehicle
Dock currently installed in your
vehicle, and disconnect the
attached cables.
B. Using the same mounting method
as the previous Vehicle Dock,
install the Bluetooth Vehicle Dock.
C. Reconnect the power and antenna
cables to the dock. Connect the
power cable to the Red PWR
connector, and the antenna cable
to the Silver ANT connector.
IMPORTANT: If there had been a
connection to the Green Audio
connector and/or the Blue FM
connector, do not reconnect either
of these two cables to the Bluetooth
Vehicle Dock when using the
Bluetooth feature. These cables will
interfere with the Bluetooth function.

2. If your SiriusXM Radio does not support Aux Detect then you must turn off the FM Transmitter
first in the Menu settings, before adjusting the audio level. (The maximum audio level when FM is
on is much lower than the maximum audio when FM is off.)
