Find a Location for the Vehicle Dock and Mount it

Select either the Dash Mount or the Vent Mount method for mounting the Vehicle Dock. You will need a phillips screwdriver to complete the installation.

NOTE: Your Radio may be a different model than the Radio shown here.

TIP! You can take advantage of the wire guide channel across the back of the Vehicle Dock to organize the wires which connect to the dock.

You’ll need to insert the Radio Dock Adapter that is compatible with your Radio into the Vehicle Dock.

A. Locate the Radio Dock Adapter that is compatible with your Radio.

If you have an XM or SiriusXM Radio: If your Radio is branded as XM* or SiriusXM*, select the

Radio Dock Adapter marked XM & SIRIUSXM on the back of the adapter.

If you have a Sirius Radio: If your Radio is branded as Sirius*, select the Radio Dock Adapter

that is marked SIRIUS on the back of the adapter.

B. Orient and place the Radio Dock Adapter that you selected into the Vehicle Dock. Be sure the

adapter is centered, and is seated all the way down into the dock.

C. Once the adapter is seated correctly in the Vehicle Dock, gently press the top of the adapter

against the dock with your finger until it clicks into place. The Radio Dock Adapter is now

installed.

Should it become necessary to remove the Radio Dock

Adapter from the Vehicle Dock, use your ﬁngernail to

gently press down on the top of the adapter, and then use

a long thin object such as a paper clip, a screw driver, or

something similar to pry the adapter away until it releases

from the dock. Then lift the adapter up and out of the

dock.

A. Mount the Magnetic Mount Antenna outside your vehicle, on a clean and dry horizontal surface

that will always face the sky.

B. Choose the location for the antenna according to your type of vehicle. Center it between the

left and right sides, and away from other antennas.

TIP: Use the Alcohol Prep Pad to clean the surface.

Route the Antenna Cable

NOTE: These instructions are for a sedan or coupe where the

antenna is mounted above the front windshield. The SiriusXM

Dock and Play Vehicle Kit User Guide SXDV3 has detailed antenna

cable routing instructions for all types of vehicles.

Go to

www.siriusxm.com/guides for the User Guide.

A. Tuck the antenna cable under the windshield rubber

molding and run it to the nearest corner.

B. Route the cable out of the molding and into the rubber

weather stripping around the door opening.

C. Lift the weather stripping. Tuck and run the cable inside it

to the bottom of the door opening. Replace the weather stripping.

D. Pull the cable out and route it to your Radio.

E. Plug the Magnetic Mount Antenna connector into the silver ANT connector on the

side the Vehicle Dock.

TIP: Include enough slack in your routing to accommodate open doors or the hood lid. Coil any

excess cable in a hidden location and keep it away from any vehicle pedals or controls.

Location

Dash Mount Method:

IMPORTANT: The air temperature needs to be at least 60°F to install the Dash Mount. If needed, turn on the

heater in your vehicle.

A. Select a flat surface for the Dash Mount with ample room for the Vehicle Dock and Radio. Avoid

mounting on leather surfaces. Choose a location that doesn’t interfere with the driver’s vision or

access to driving controls, one that won’t interfere with the deployment of airbags or other safety

equipment, and makes your Radio easily accessible for operation. (Airbag locations are typically

marked with “SRS” logos.)

B. Orient the adhesive foot so that your Radio is easily accessible. Loosen the knob and adjust the

adhesive foot to position 1, 2, or 3, and then tighten it.

C. Attach the Dash Mount to the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock using

the 4 provided screws. If you plan to use the wire guide channel

across the back of the Vehicle Dock to organize the wires, do not

fully tighten the screws. If not, tighten the screws.

D. Clean the mounting surface in the vehicle with the alcohol

preparation pad and let it dry thoroughly.

E. Once the surface is dry, remove the adhesive liner. Press and hold

the Dash Mount in place for 30 seconds. Allow the adhesive to

cure for at least 2-4 hours.

F. You can tilt the dock mounting plate in your preferred direction.

(Note that for clarity the illustration does not show the Vehicle

Dock attached to the Dash Mount.)

Vent Mount Method:

A. Select a vent with ample room for the Vehicle Dock and Radio, one that won’t interfere with the deployment

of airbags or other safety equipment, and makes your Radio easily accessible for operation. (Airbag locations

are typically marked with “SRS” logos.)

B. Some vents have recessed louvers. If yours are recessed, remove the regular vent clamps and install the

extended vent clamps.

C. Attach the Vent Mount to the PowerConnect Vehicle Dock using the 4

provided screws. If you plan to use the wire guide channel across the

back of the Vehicle Dock to organize the wires, do not fully tighten

the screws. If not, tighten the screws.

D. Install the Vent Mount onto the vehicle vent. (Note that for clarity the

illustrations below do not show the Vehicle Dock attached to the Vent

Mount.)

i. Insert the vent mount into the vent opening.

ii. Push until hooked on the rear of the vent louver. Rest the foot

against the bottom of the vent.

iii. If necessary, adjust the tilt of the Vent Mount by repositioning the foot to a different tilt adjustment

hole.
