Make the Connections  

You’ll need to access the back of the SiriusXM-Ready headunit so you can plug the 
SXV100 Vehicle Tuner into it. This may require you to remove the headunit from the 
dashboard. If you are uncomfortable with this step, consult a professional installer.

Be sure to turn OFF the SiriusXM-Ready headunit before connecting the SXV100 
Vehicle Tuner. Locate the SiriusXM connector on the headunit and connect the 
SXV100. The headunit may have a panel mount type connector, or it may have a 
pigtail type connector. 

Plug the Satellite Radio antenna 
into the SXV100 Vehicle Tuner 
(sold separately). The SXV100 is 
compatible with all aftermarket XM 
antennas.

Secure the Tuner

Secure the SXV100 Vehicle Tuner behind the vehicle headunit location or under 
the dash using wire ties (not included).

Thread the wire ties through the moulded brackets on the underside of the Tuner 
as shown. Then secure it to a bracket or wiring harness using the wire ties. Avoid 
brackets with sharp edges and any moving parts such as gas and brake pedals.

Reinstall the vehicle headunit if it had been removed from the dashboard.

Products with this logo are compatible

Products with these logos are not compatible

If your headunit has the official SiriusXM-
Ready logo it is compatible with the SXV100 
Vehicle Tuner. All SiriusXM-Ready headunits 
include a dedicated connector, allowing for 
quick and easy connection of the SXV100 
tuner.

The SXV100 requires a 
Satellite Radio antenna which 
is sold separately. The antenna 
may be purchased from 
siriusxm.com/accessories or 
from a SiriusXM retailer.

The SXV100 is compatible with 
all aftermarket XM antennas.

Troubleshooting

The troubleshooting information listed below is for general reference. Consult 
the User Guide for your SiriusXM-Ready headunit for specific instructions for 
operation and advisory messages which may be displayed. Your headunit may 
display slightly different messages. 

If you see this on the screen:

Try this:

No Signal (NoSignal)

• Make sure that the vehicle is outdoors with a clear view of 

the southern sky.

• Make sure the Satellite Radio antenna is mounted outside 

of the vehicle.

• Move your antenna away from any obstructed area. For 

example, if you are parked in an underground garage, you 
should receive a signal after leaving the garage.

Check Antenna (Chek 
Antenna, CHK Antena, Chek 
Ant)

• Make sure that the Satellite Radio antenna cable is firmly 

and securely plugged into the SXV100 Vehicle Tuner. 

• Make sure the antenna cable is not bent or broken.
• Turn the headunit off, then on, to reset this message. If the 

message persists, most likely the antenna cable has been 
damaged. Replace the antenna.

Antenna Disconnected

Check the antenna connection to make sure it is fully 
plugged into the SXV100 Vehicle Tuner.

Antenna Cable Shorted

Replace the antenna.
