Vehicle Installation
Step 1: Mount the XM Antenna
The XM antenna contains a strong magnet which
will stick to any metal parts of your vehicle.

Magnet
Choose the best location for your XM antenna considering your own personal situation.
Pay particular attention to any accessories that you may have like luggage racks and
how frequently you may use them.
If you placed the XM antenna on the front of
the vehicle, route the cable across the top of
the windshield. Gently pry up the rubber
weather seal and tuck the cable underneath.
Follow the weather seal down to the door
jam. Tuck the cable into the door jam and up
to the dash or under the carpet to the car
cradle as shown.
If you placed the XM antenna on the rear of
the vehicle, route the cable under the
weather seal of the rear window. Route it
into the trunk and through any existing
wire passages or cargo passages to the rear
passenger compartment. Tuck the cable
under the door jam trim or under the
carpet to the radio as shown.
TIP! Always be careful to include enough slack in your cable to accommodate
open doors or trunk lids. Use things typically found around the home, like
electrical tape, to secure cables in areas so that hinges do not pinch the cable
with the door. Hide any excess cable in the trim.
