Installation in a Vehicle: Running the Antenna Cable
2. Route the cable from the antenna to the
vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the
rubber molding around rear window, as shown
below.
• For SUVs, minvans & 5-door vehicles, bring the
cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for
the tailgate, and continue under the interior trim.
4. From the trunk, route the cable around the
passenger compartment and to the back of the
cradle.
• Do not pull the wire across sharp edges that could
damage it.
• Keep the wire away from areas where it could
become tangled in driver’s and passenger’s feet.
5. Plug the antenna into the back of cradle where it
says “ANT”.
6. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the cigarette
lighter. THE BRIX GROUP RECOMMENDS

SIR-STRVK1 & SIR-STRVK2 Installation Guide
1. Temporarily plug the antenna into the
“1-Sat/Terr (Main)” connector on the
back of the cradle until it is firmly
seated.
2. Find an antenna location on a metal
surface of your vehicle at least 12" x
12", and at least 6" from a window. If
you use the included antenna mount
(SIR-STRVK1 only), install the mount
on the upper portion of your side-view
mirror bracket.
•Best reception is achieved with the antenna mounted on the
roof or trunk for convertibles.
• If the vehicle has a roof rack or skid ribs, it may be necessary
to mount the antenna off-center.
3.The antenna’s powerful magnet will secure it to the metal
surface. Before routing the antenna cable, confirm that the
antenna is mounted in a good location:
4. Temporarily plug the cigarette lighter adapter into the
cigarette lighter.
5. Slide Streamer all the way into the cradle so that the
connector at the bottom of the unit makes proper contact in the
cradle. Press and hold the POWER button to turn Streamer on.
6. If your Streamer has been properly connected and the
antenna is receiving the SIRIUS signal you will hear audio. If
you do not hear audio, the display will read “Antenna Error”.
Re-orient the antenna until you hear audio. (See Antenna
Signal, on page 27 to use the ANTENNA SIGNAL screen to aim
the antenna.)
• Make sure the vehicle is not in garage, or somewhere the
satellite signal could be blocked.
