Installation

Option 3: FM Installation Instructions

The FM Direct Adapter (required, and sold separately) should be installed by a professional installer . 

Professional installation can help improve your Roady BT’s reception and significantly reduce the 

visibility of wires . To learn more, check with the retailer where you bought Roady BT, or go to 

www .

siriusxm .com/accessories

 .

1. 

Purchase an FM Direct Adapter (FMDA25) and have it installed by a professional, or install it by 

following the installation instructions included with the FMDA25 .

2. 

Connect the FM cable from the FMDA25 to the FM connector on the 

Intelligent Power Adapter .

3. 

Press 

Menu

 on Roady BT and then, press   to highlight 

Audio 

Settings

 and press the 

Select button

 .

4. 

Audio Output

 will be highlighted . Press the 

Select button

 until 

FM

 is shown as the selected 

audio output . Wait a moment while FM audio is enabled .

5. 

Be sure the vehicle is outside and the SiriusXM antenna has a clear 

view of the sky . Verify that you are receiving the SiriusXM signal . 

There should be at least two bars in the upper right corner of the 

Now Playing screen that denotes antenna signal strength . 

 

You can also press 

Menu

 and then press

 

 to scroll to and highlight 

Signal Indicator

 . Press the 

Select button

 . The Satellite and Terrestrial 

bars show the strength of the signal being received . If the signal 

reception is good, press and hold 

Menu

 to return to the Now Playing 

screen .

6. 

You’ll first need to find an available FM channel . An available FM 

channel is one that’s not being used by an FM radio station in your 

area . When you tune your vehicle’s FM radio to an available channel, 

you should only hear static or silence – not talk or music . We 

recommend one of the following methods to find an available FM 

channel:

a . 

Use the SiriusXM FM Channel Finder at 

www .siriusxm .com/fmchannel

 . Go to the website 

and enter your zip code . The Channel Finder will suggest a list of available FM channels in 

your area . For convenience, write down or print out the list .

            

OR

b . 

Manually tune through your local FM channels on your vehicle’s FM radio . Locate and create 

a list of channels that aren’t being used by any FM radio station . Write down the list . Once 

you have created your list of available FM channels, you will need to find the one that 

provides the best match for Roady BT .

TIP!

 You’ll need to use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune 

through every FM channel one-by-one . Turn on your vehicle’s FM radio . Start at 88 .1 and 

use the ‘Manual’ tune function on your vehicle’s FM radio to tune through each FM channel 

one-by-one (88 .1 followed by 88 .3 etc .) to locate channels that aren’t being used by a local
