Warning: 

This manual contains important safety

and operating information. Please read, understand, and 
follow the instructions in this manual. Failure to do 
socould result in personal injury, death, and/or damage 
to your RoadyXT, accessories, and/or to your vehicle or 
property.

Caution: 

Refrain from using food or drinks near

can cause leaks, which can damage your RoadyXT and/or 
your vehicle.

When using this product it is 

alwaysimportant to keep your eyes on the road and 
yourhands on the wheel. Not doing so could result 
ininjury and/or death to yourself or to others and/or 
inproperty damage.

Let’s Get Started

First, some important reminders

We know you’re eager to turn on your new RoadyXT and listen to XM
Please take a moment to remember the following:

To receive the XM service, you must subscribe to XM. Available in the continental United States and Canada 

only. Satellite radio reception depends on the ability of the antenna to receive a signal. The signal may not be 

available in buildings or if obstructed (e.g., by mountains, trees, bridges, etc).

Troubleshooting

Your RoadyXT should provide you with trouble-free performance without-

needing any servicing. If it does not appear to be working properly, first try 

to remedy the problem by following these steps:

1.  Attach all connections firmly and securely.
2. Ensure the cigarette lighter adapter or auxiliary power socket is clean and 

free of corrosion.

3. Check the adapter fuse by unscrewing the ribbed end of the adapter. If 

required, replace with a 2-amp fuse only. If your cigarette lighter adapter-

does not have a removable end cap, then it is equipped with an internal-

fuse that resets itself after it is left unpowered for a period of time.

Step 3:

•   Once you have plugged the power and 

antenna jacks into the car cradle, use the 
included cable organizer as shown in 
figure 2 to improve the overall appear-
ance of the installation.

•  Reuse the cable twist ties that were 

provided with the power adapter and car 
antenna cables and always be sure to 
gather, bundle, twist tie, and secure any 
excess cable remaining after determining 
the best location for your satellite radio 
installation.  

•  For example, secure the excess cable up 

under your dash, between the seat and the console, or on the floor 
under a seat or floor mat. This will help to prevent the excess cable from 
interfering with the everyday use of your vehicle, improve the appear-
ance of the installation, and avoid any undesirable accidental damage to 
the cables that might result in loss of power or satellite signal.   

•  For FM modulator installations, securing and tie-wrapping the excess 

cable is important to reduce background hissing noise. Be sure to 
choose a location carefully by taking notice of how doors and trunks 
open and close, as well as how seats move when they are adjusted, so 
you can be certain ample clearance is provided for the cables. 

Screen colour

To change the colour of the display, press the “

menu

” button and select 

“Screen Color.” Use the arrow and the “

Audio level

You may adjust RoadyXT’s audio output level if it is too high (causing 
distortion) or too low. Choose a setting so that the XM audio matches your 
other audio sources, such as your CD player or FM radio. To change the audio 
output level, press the “

menu

” button and select “Audio Level.” Use the 

arrow buttons to adjust the level and the “

select

” button to confirm. Press 

the “

menu

” button to exit.

Most users should NOT need to change this level from the factory setting. 
This is not a volume control; you should set the volume using the audio 
system that is connected to your RoadyXT.

Aiming the antenna

Note: For use with the Home Kit, sold separately.
Your RoadyXT can help you choose the best antenna position and 

orientation.

1. Press the “

menu

” button. Use the arrow and “

select

” buttons to 

choose“Antenna Aiming.”

2. Slowly turn and tilt the antenna. The signal bars on the display will 

change. Find the position that gives at least two bars on either 

“satellite”or “terrestrial.” 

3. The antenna aiming screen remains as long as it’s needed to help you  

position the antenna. When you’ve found the best position, press 

the“

menu

” button twice to return to normal operation.

TuneSelect

TuneSelect can alert you whenever one of your favorite songs or artists is 

playing on any XM channel.

1. Press the “menu” button and select the “TuneSelect” option, then select 

“Song or Artist.” You can choose to select “By Song” (factory default) 

or“By Artist.” Press the “menu” button again to return to normal 

operation.

2. When you hear one of your favorite songs or artists, press and hold 

the“select” button until you hear a beep. This indicates that RoadyXT has 

saved the song or artist information to its TuneSelect list. The list holds 

up to 20 entries; when it is full, any new entry replaces the oldest entry in 

the list.

3. When any song or artist on the list is currently playing on any XM 

channel,your RoadyXT beeps and flashes “Artist / Song Found” on its 

display.4. Press the “select” button to switch to that channel.

5. To edit the list, press the “menu” button and choose the 

“TuneSelect”option, then the “Erase” option. You can either erase specific 

songs orartists on the list, or erase all songs and artists.

Audio on XM instant traffic and weather 
channels sounds different from other XM 
channels.

Audio has static while listening through an 
FM radio.

Nothing is wrong with your RoadyXT.
These channels use a different audio 
technology than the other XM channels.

Change to another FM frequency (see 
pages 16 and 17). If the problem persists 
and you are using the FM modulator in a 
vehicle, use the Delphi FM Direct Adapter 
(model SA10112, sold separately).

If this happens:

You should:

The display is blank; nothing happens 
when you push the power button.

Check the power connections to your 
RoadyXT.

You do not receive all XM channels you 
have subscribed to.

Your RoadyXT may not be activated.

Check whether your audio system can play 
a CD, or regular AM or FM stations. Then 
check the audio connections between 
youraudio system and your RoadyXT.

No song title or artist name displayed.

Nothing is wrong with your RoadyXT. That 
information may be in the process of being 
updated. On some sports and news channels, 
there is no title or artist information.

vehicle’s FM radio.

Make sure that the vehicle’s FM radio and 
your RoadyXT are set to the same frequency 
(see page 16).

You cannot tune to a channel.

Contact XM Satellite Radio at 1.877.GET.XMSR 
(1.877.438.9677). Verify that you are authorized 
to receive that channel as part of your XM 
subscription, and that you have not asked XM

Personalizing Your RoadyXT

You can easily adapt your RoadyXT to suit your listening habits. Simply press 
the “

menu

” button to see the options you can customize. If you ever get lost 

or decide not to change anything, press the “

menu

” button several times to 

return to normal operation. Or just wait about 15 seconds and RoadyXT 
automatically cancels whatever you’re doing.

Making your vehicle’s FM radio an XM radio

You will first need to determine if your installation will require the use of the 
FM modulator or the use of the cassette adapter.  If your vehicle’s radio does 
not have a cassette player, you will need to use either the Professional wired 
FM or the self install method using the XMSureConnect. Please read the XM 
SureConnect installation guide before installing.

Your RoadyXT contains a built-in FM modulator that transmits the XM audio 
signal to your vehicle’s FM radio when using the vehicle cradle only.

1. Find an FM frequency that is not being used by any commercial FM station. 

Tune your FM radio through the FM band and note which frequency has no 
FM station or the least amount of interference. (See page 17 for more 
information on finding an unused FM frequency.)

2. Turn on your RoadyXT.
3. Press the “menu” button and select “FM Frequency.”
4. Match the FM frequency that you found in step 1.

5. You should now hear XM programming on your vehicle’s FM radio. If the 

sound isn’t clear or you hear noise or static, try another FM frequency. If 
you’re traveling, you may need to retune periodically; this is due to the 
differences in signal strength of local FM stations and is not a problem 
with your RoadyXT.

6. Pressing and holding the “jump” button for 2 seconds pulls up a list of 

the last six FM frequencies you selected. This allows you to quickly tune 
to unused FM frequencies when using the FM modulator. Use the arrow 
buttons and the “select” button to choose the frequency you want.

Memory and jump

Press the “

memory

” button to remember a song’s artist or title. Your 

RoadyXT can remember up to 20 entries. (After 20, any new entry replaces 
the oldest entry in memory.)
To recall the list of songs, press and hold the “

memory

” button, then use the 

up and down arrow buttons to step through the list.
Press the “

jump

” button to return to the previous channel you were 

listening to.
You can press and hold the “

jump

” button for FM presets. See page 16 for 

more information.    

•   For option 1 and rear mounting locations, route the cable into the trunk
  as shown. Always cross the weather seal at the lowest part of the trunk 

to reduce water leaks. From the trunk, route the cable into the passenger

  compartment through available wire channels and then along the floor 

under the door jamb trim or under the carpet to the front of the passenger 
compartment. Do not leave the cable loose in the passenger 
compartment where it is likely to be damaged.

•   For option 2 and front mounting locations, route the cable along the 

door jamb and into the vehicle as shown. Route the cable across the 
weather seal near the bottom of the door to reduce water leaks.

Other Things You Should Know

Care

You should be able to use your RoadyXT during most of your daily 
activities. However, you should remember:

•   If your RoadyXT does get dirty, wipe the case with a soft cloth (lightly 

moistened with water if necessary), then wipe dry with another cloth. 
Avoid chemicals such as paint thinner, alcohol, or abrasive cleansers.

•  It is best to keep your RoadyXT out of direct sunlight or other sources  

of extreme heat.

Accessories (sold separately)

We’re always developing useful and clever accessories for your RoadyXT 

such as a Home Kit. For additional information and to purchase 

accessories, please visit our web site at www.xmradio.ca or your local 

retailer.

Caution: 

Refrain from using food or drinks near the RoadyXT. Spilling food or drinks on the unit could damage 

it. Also, improper antenna cable installation can cause a leak that could result in damage to your RoadyXT 
and/or your vehicle.

Installation Instructions

Step 1

:

First, determine the proper location for your satellite radio antenna based 

on the following criteria for your specific vehicle:

•  You must locate the satellite radio antenna on the top of the roof either 

in front of the rear window (option 1) or behind the windshield (option 

2).The satellite radio antenna will perform best if magnetically attached 

to a steel surface with an unobstructed view of the open sky and 

minimum of 3 to 6 inches of metal surrounding the antenna.

Step 2

•  When routing the antenna cable along the windshield or rear 

window,tuck the antenna cable under the window seal to maintain a 

professional looking installation and to avoid loose wires on the exterior 

of the vehicle that are susceptible to damage. Follow the interior cable 

routing diagram depicted by dashed lines in figure 1 where possible.

•  Avoid kinking, crimping, twisting, or chafing the cable. Use pre-existing 

wire channels when possible.

Vehicle Installation

Introduction

This XM receiver offers a variety of options for connecting XM Satellite 

Radio to your vehicle’s FM radio. XM research and lab test results show 

that using a vehicle cassette adapter can maximize the relationship 

between the best sound quality and ease of installation. If your vehicle kit 

does not include a cassette adapter, one should be available at your local 

retailer. 

1. Cassette Adapter

Using a cassette adapter for audio is the most popular and best 

sounding solution. Please follow steps 1 through 3 on the following 

pages for mounting the satellite radio antenna and securing the XM 

receiver and cables.

2. Professional Wired FM

A wired FM installation kit is available from your retailer for professional 

installation. See your retailer for details. This solution is recommended 

if you cannot get acceptable performance with the FM modulator.

3. Self Install (XM SureConnect)

The XM receiver is equipped with an FM modulator, which can transmit 

the XM audio to your car’s FM radio. See the XM SureConnect 

Installation Guide for more information.

Info Extras

XM Satellite Radio will broadcast information such as sports scores and 
other features at various times.* 

Press the “

menu

” button and select “Info Extras” (step 1). Use the arrow 

buttons to see what’s available (step 2).

Press the “

select

” button to add or remove the Info Extras item (step 3).

“” indicates that you have not yet selected the item;  “

+

” means you’ve 

chosen the item.

To view the Info Extras that you chose, press the “

disp

” button until you 

see the Info Extras items at the bottom of the screen (display mode 5).

*Sports scores are provided by Stats, Inc.

Using presets

Your RoadyXT can store up to 30 of your favorite channels as presets. The 
presets are organized into three banks (A, B, or C) that each contain 10 
presets.

Press the “

pre/dir

” button one or more times to select bank A, B, or C 

(step 1). After you’ve tuned to your desired channel, press and hold a 
number button to save the channel into that preset (step 2).

Whenever you want to quickly tune to that channel, simply press that 
button again.

You can use the preset banks to organize your channels in different ways: 
Store your favorite channels in bank A, and someone else’s favorite 
channels in bank B. Or use one bank for music, another for news.

Searching for channels by scanning

Your RoadyXT can also scan through each channel, pausing long enough 
to hear the programming before moving on to the next one.

Press the “

menu

” button (step 1), go to “Search Mode,” and select “By 

Scanning” (step 2).

Press the “

search

” button to begin scanning (step 3). Each channel plays 

for about 5 seconds. While scanning channels,         blinks in the display. 
Press the “

search

” button again to stop on a channel.

        

Listening to XM

Selecting channels

menu

” button (step 1), go to “Search Mode,” and select “By 

Category.”

Each press of the “

search

” button (step 2) tunes you to the first channel of 

a new category.

Notice that the            icon is highlighted in the display.

Use the arrow buttons (step 3) to sample the channels within a 
category.Press the “

select

” button to choose a channel.
