Install the Magnetic Mount Antenna
Proper placement of the Magnetic Mount Antenna is very important. Consult
a professional installer if you are uncomfortable with installing the antenna
yourself. More detailed installation instructions and illustrations can be found at
www.siriusxm.com/installation
and clicking on the
XM Vehicle Installation
link.
•
Place the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the
outside of your vehicle on a horizontal surface
that always faces the sky.
•
Avoid placing the antenna near obstacles that
could block a clear view of the sky (such as
roof racks, other antennas like AM/FM, cellular,
and GPS), preventing the satellite signal from
reaching the antenna.
Select the Best Location for the Magnetic Mount Antenna
For most vehicles the best location is on the roof,
centered above the rear window or front windshield.
Consult a professional installer to find an alternate
antenna mounting location if your vehicle roof is made
from a non-magnetic material such as aluminum,
fiberglass, or carbon fibre.
