Connect the Audio
To play audio through your vehicle’s stereo or FM radio, decide on one of the following audio
connection options:
• Option 1: Best: Use the provided Aux In Cable if your vehicle’s stereo system has an auxiliary
input connection. Refer to your vehicle’s owners manual to find the location of the auxiliary
input jack, or consult the vehicle dealer. (Page 22)
TIP! The auxiliary input jack may be located on the face plate of the vehicle radio, on the back of
the radio, anywhere on the front dash panel, inside the glove compartment, or inside the center
console in between the front seats.
• Option 2: Better: Use a Cassette Adapter if your vehicle has a built-in cassette player.
Cassette Adapters are sold separately and can be purchased from an electronics retailer, or
go to xmradio.com/accessories. Follow the installation instructions in Option 1. (Page 22)
• Option 3: Good: Use the PowerConnect feature of the Snap. PowerConnect plays the audio
through your vehicle’s FM radio. (Page 23)
• Option 4: Best: Use the FM Direct Adapter. If none of the previous three audio connection
options will work in your vehicle, then you will need to use the FM Direct Adapter (FMDA)
(sold separately). The FMDA needs to be installed by a professional installer and directly
connects the Snap to your vehicle’s FM radio. To learn more, check with the retailer where
you bought your Radio, or go to xmradio.com/accessories.
Follow the installation instructions in the next several sections for the audio connection option
that you have selected.
