Installation Installing the SC-C1 Vehicle Tuner It is recommended that prior to starting the installation, you thoroughly read this manual and follow the guidelines listed below: Consider the mounting location carefully. You should make sure that you avoid the following: • Any location where the tuner is exposed to moisture. • Any location where the unit is exposed to extreme heat. • Any location where the tuner can not get adequate ventilation.
Alternate Mounting Methods The mounting plate can be removed allowing the SC-C1 to be mounted directly to a surface using either double stick tape, Velcro or other adhesive material. Simply remove the 2 screws on the bottom of the SC-C1 tuner to remove the bracket as in Figure 3 below. If using adhesive material, avoid covering the SID label. Figure 3 Combining with a SiriusConnect Interface device Some third-party interfaces are designed with the same asymmetrical chassis as the SC-C1.
Installing the Antenna The antenna includes a 2-3/4” cable cover/tail which covers the exposed antenna cable and keeps it attached securely to vehicle roof. The tail also helps position the antenna the proper distance from the window, sunroof or rear hatch. To attach the cover/tail: 1. Turn the antenna upside-down and extend the cable. 2. Connect the cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strain-relief on the antenna seats into the cover/tail groove. 3.
Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations The optimum location to mount the included antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. It is important to avoid any obstruction that will block satellite signal – like a roof rack. For convertible vehicles, install the antenna on the trunk lid. • Place the antenna on a metal surface of your vehicle at least 23/4” from a window or another edge. (Use the antenna cover/tail as a guide for the proper distance). • The antenna’s magnet will secure it to the metal surface.
